Abstract
A food roller dispenser for dispensing the contents from a flexible pouch-like food container by passing the container between a pair of elongate rollers having teeth which mesh and overlap each other to drivingly grip the container between the meshed teeth and squeeze the contents from the container during counter-rotation of the rollers. Each of the rollers is of a solid one-piece plastic construction having roller bearing portions adjacent opposite ends which are removably captured in easily disassembled bearing blocks for ease of cleaning. One of the rollers is driven by a handcrank which, through a set of gears mounted on shaft extensions on the ends of the rollers, drives the other roller in the opposite direction.
