The present invention provides for an apparatus for filling a food
material into a cavity of an object. The apparatus has a conduit having a
conduit inlet port, a conduit outlet port, and an interior passageway
extending between the conduit inlet port and the conduit outlet port. The
conduit is adapted to permit passage of a dry food material through the
interior passageway from the conduit inlet port to the conduit outlet
port. The apparatus also has a fluid injector fluidly connected to the
conduit and to a fluid source. The fluid injector is adapted to permit
injection of a fluid into the interior passageway of the conduit for
mixing with the dry food material passing therethrough to obtain a wet
food material. The apparatus also has a nozzle having a nozzle inlet
port, a nozzle outlet port, and an interior passageway extending between
the nozzle inlet port and the nozzle outlet port. The nozzle is fluidly
connected to the conduit and the fluid injector. The nozzle outlet port
is adapted to fill the wet food material into the cavity of the object. A
method for filling the cavity of the object with the food material is
also disclosed. An object having a cavity containing a food material when
filled by the method in accordance with the present invention is also
disclosed.
