DISPENSING APPARATUS AND CONTAINER FOR DISPENSING FROZEN CONFECTIONS

摘要

A dispensing apparatus is used to dispense frozen or semi frozen confection or dessert such as ice cream and sorbet from a deformable bulk container. A dispensing mechanism includes a plunger arranged for downward movement relative to the container, for deforming the container and expressing product through an outlet in the container. A control system is programmed to control operation of the plunger, for dispensing individual portions of product from the container via the dispensing mechanism. The container is configured for coaxial collapse along a central axis in the direction of the outlet. The outlet is off set from the central axis. The apparatus has a front, rear and two sides and the outlet is presented generally at the front of the apparatus.
