Abstract: A method of producing a shell of an edible mass includes the steps of filling the fluidized mass into a mould, the mould at least being partly made of an elastic and resilient material, and dislocating the mass contained in the mould without directly contacting the mass until the mass has at least partly solidified to form a shell. An apparatus for producing a shell of an edible mass includes at least one mould at least being partly made of an elastic and resilient material. The mould includes an inner side and an outer side. The inner side is designed and arranged to be contacted by the mass when the mass has been filled into the mould. At least one dislocating element is designed and arranged to contact the outer side without directly contacting the mass. The dislocating element is designed and arranged to temporarily deforem the mould in an elastic way.

Abstract: Apparatus for the production of hollow confections provided with center fillings including conveyor means with centrifugal molds mounted thereon, each mold being fitted with one member of a clutch which moves over a rotary drive comprising the other member of the clutch so that the two clutch members can be brought briefly into engagement for rotating the molds, the two clutch members being displaceable in the conveying direction and being adapted to pull themselves into axial alignment when they engage.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for producing individually wrapped confections in centrifugal molds by inserting a wrapper material into the mold, introducing a portion of flowable confectionery mass into the upwardly open wrapper and then rotating the mold to distribute the confection over the bottom and sides of the wrapper, setting the mass, filling the hollow case of confection thus formed and then sealing the projecting edges of wrapper material and removing from the mold.
