Abstract
A dasher assembly is provided for use within the cylindrical freezer chamber of a continuous ice cream freezer or the like. The dasher assembly includes an elongated imperforate first section which coacts with a portion of the chamber interior surface to form an elongated annular narrow passage through which a product entering the chamber is caused to initially flow at a predetermined rate so that the product upon leaving the passage has attained a predetermined temperature and viscosity whereby air, or similar fluid, mixed with the product will not migrate through the chamber and cause the product dispensed from the chamber to have uneven overrun. Affixed to and extending longitudinally from the first section is an elongated skeletal second section. The first and second sections are power driven to rotate as a unit. Disposed within the second section is a beater assembly which causes the product upon leaving the narrow passage and passing through the remainder of the chamber to be subjected to a whipping action prior to being dispensed from the chamber.
