Abstract
An agitator construction is provided for use with a dasher assembly rotatably mounted within an elongated cylindrical chamber through which a viscous product is caused to flow. The dasher assembly includes an elongated skeletal section having the periphery thereof in scraping engagement with the chamber interior surface. The agitator construction includes an elongated imperforate cylindrical support unit fixedly mounted within the skeletal section and having the central longitudinal axis of the unit offset with respect to the rotary axis of the dasher assembly. An elongated cagelike member is mounted in encompassing relation on the exterior of the support unit for rotation independently thereof about the central axis of the support unit in response to the rotation of the dasher assembly and the product flowing through the chamber.
