Abstract
A confectionery moulding machine comprising an endless mould conveyor which traverses moulds in continuous procession in an upper run in which the cavities in the moulds face upwardly and in a lower run in which the mould cavities face downwardly, a depositor for depositing liquid confectionery into the moulds in succession as they travel along the upper run, a conveyor band which travels continuously beneath the lower run of the mould conveyor, and a demoulding unit for discharging the fillings of the cavities of each mould in succession onto the conveyor band, the moulds having projections which contact the upper surface of the band on the lower run of the mould conveyor and project from the downwardly facing surfaces of the moulds on the lower run by an amount less than the depth of the mould cavities and constrain the band to run at the same speed as the mould conveyor.
