Abstract A cream filler apparatus is provided for handling pans containing cake products which are to be filled with cream from a common hopper by a cream injecting nozzles. The apparatus includes parallel conveying belts which move the pans to two waiting stops which are selectively activated, and the pan, when positioned, is raised by a lifting frame. The lifting frame is pivotally mounted at one end and intermittently moved by a lifter assembly under the control of a driven cam.
