Method and device for producing a food product

A method for supplying a raw material quantity into a production machine (2), comprising:

• supplying the raw material quantity into the production machine (2) along a trajectory through the supply opening by a supply unit (1),
• changing the trajectory of the raw material quantity such that a trajectory passage angle, at which the trajectory passes through the supply opening and/or a trajectory passage position at which the trajectory passes through the supply opening is changed.

A supply unit (1) for supplying a raw material quantity into a production machine (2), comprising:

• a supply channel portion (3) having an exit opening (4) and having a feed hopper (5),
• wherein the raw material quantity can be conveyed through the exit opening (4) of the supply channel portion (3) into a feed opening (6) of the feed hopper (5) and supplied through the feed hopper (5) to the production machine (2),
• wherein the supply unit (1) has at least one actuating unit (7), by which an actuating movement of the supply channel portion (3) and/or of the feed hopper (5) can be generated, so that the supply channel portion (3) can be caused to displace relative to the feed hopper (5).
