A pin-less socket apparatus and manufacturing system for assembling a frozen confection using such socket apparatus including a socket for accepting a conical food product therein, the socket having a hook with one or more teeth located at an outer periphery of the socket, a hinge located on an outside of the socket, the hook movably attached to the socket via the hinge, a force mechanism for holding the hook in place against the socket. The force mechanism takes the form of either an annular spring or O-ring located around the socket and hook or a linear spring attached to the hook in a lever-type manner. The manufacturing system includes a coating area for coating a wafer cone with a moisture-resistant layer, a filling area having a filler for inserting a semi-frozen confection into the wafer cone, a cooling area for accepting the wafer cone with the semi-frozen confection and including a hardening tunnel for freezing the wafer cone and the semi-frozen confection, and a dipping area including more than one pin-less socket apparatus for accepting the wafer cone and moving the wafer cone through a dipping bin. Within the system, the coating, filling, cooling, and dipping areas may be on the same or separate assembly loops including the socket apparatus within one or more of such assembly loops.

A method and apparatus for evacuating pockets of injected fluid in meat products involves the structure and use of a machine which has a longitudinal movable conveyor surface on the machine; a fluid injection station on the machine for injecting fluid into a meat product on the conveyor surface; a second station on the machine downstream of the fluid injection station; the second station comprising an assembly for applying compressive pressure to the injected meat and penetrating the meat with a plurality of projecting elements to create a plurality of fluid conduits in the injected meat wherein the compressive pressure will force fluid out of the injected meat through the fluid conduits when the projecting elements penetrate the pockets of fluid.
