A soft-serve confection freezer incorporates a set of modules in a
circular array and separately replaceable in a magazine. Each module
supports a container storing a dry food ingredient in solid particulate
form, and has a motor driven product impeller for controlled discharge of
particulates from the container to a blender assembly. The blender
assembly has a housing and screw-type auger of cooperating configurations
and which cooperate with a central passageway for frozen confection
flowing from the freezer, to blend particulates from one or more
containers into the confection and discharge into a customer's cup for
immediate consumption. A further version incorporates a magazine for
injection and blending of one or more flavored liquids into the frozen
confection. Control panel selection of ingredients and flavors and
dispensing by the operator according to the customer's order, or
selection and dispensing by the customer himself/herself, is provided.
Components are arranged to facilitate cleaning.
