SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONVEYING CONFECTION MOULDS. A confection mould conveying system and methods for manufacturing of confection products, the system including a first conveyor segment and a second conveyor segment. The first conveyor segment has a first pusher bar and a series of spaced-apart first pusher fingers extending therefrom. The first pusher fingers are oriented to engage confection mould trays while the first pusher bar is translated in a first direction. The first pusher fingers are reoriented to avoid engagement with the confection mould trays while the first pusher bar is translated in a second direction opposite the first direction. The second conveyor segment receives the confection mould trays from the first conveyor segment and can include a first rotatable shaft with a first helical channel to receive a first tab of one of the confection mould trays. Rotation of the rotatable shaft thereby continuously advances the respective confection mould tray in the first direction.
