An improved machine for dosing, filling, and packaging of a doughy or pasty food substance, which is transported by at least one screw conveyor from a conveyor trough via a guide channel to a dosing arrangement and therefrom via an adjoining forming channel is fed into at least one packaging container which is thereafter packaged into a larger collecting package, the improvement comprising,
- the guide channel being located between the outlet of the conveyor trough and entrance side of the dosing arrangement, said dosing arrangement being located laterally below the conveyor trough, and redirecting the food substance being conveyed;
- the forming channel being connected to the outlet of the dosing arrangement;
- wherein the cross-sectional size of both guide channel and forming channel increase in a funnel-like or obelisk-like fashion in the direction of feed;
- said guide channel being covered with a layer of material having friction reducing properties.
