Abstract: A device for the production of parts of confections comprises a plurality of cup shaped centrifugal molds (18), open at the top and arranged successively on a conveyor installation (10), supplied from above with a confectionery mass and rotated intermittently around a vertical axis by a drive (36). The centrifugal molds (18) have drive cogs (20) extending in the downward direction. The drive (36) comprises a drive element (56) moving in a stationary path located laterally in relation to the drive cogs (20) and frictionally engaging the drive cogs (20) during the movement of the conveyor installation (10).
