ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a method for the production of frozen confections wherein the frozen confections are produced from a supply of a generally semifrozen confection material of viscous consistency conveyed at a constant volume and at a constant rate through a novel filling system into a plurality of molds. The apparatus provides for the production of frozen confections from a supply of a generally semi-frozen, compressible material having a highly viscous consistency, wherein the material is rapidly and accurately metered into "bottom-up" molds which are indexed into position below a filling station, and in which filling nozzles are inserted into the molds so as to fill the latter with the material to the desired extent as the nozzles are raised upwardly out of the molds. Moreover, the invention contemplates the provision of novel metering pump means wherein metered quantities of the confection material are continuously supplied to the filler nozzles, and in which pump structure connected upstream of the metering pump will continuously supply the confection material in a predetermined pressurized condition to the metering pump in order to preclude the formation of any voids in the material being introduced into the molds, thereby presenting an extremely accurate apparatus and method in being able to precisely meter the required amounts of confection material into the molds without the creation of voids or the possibility of incomplete filling of the molds causing wastage which would result in a lower efficiency in production and economy for the apparatus and method.
