Frozen product machine

A device for providing a frozen product, comprising:

• a cooling chamber for receiving a material;
• the cooling chamber having an inlet and an outlet;
• wherein the outlet has a nozzle for dispensing the frozen product;
• an auger adapted to fit within the cooling chamber;
• the auger and the cooling chamber being supported by a housing;
• the auger connected to a motor for rotating the auger such that the auger is adapted to mix a cooled material;
• a cooling element adapted to cool the cooling chamber;
• the cooling element adapted to create a differential cooling capacity within the cooling chamber;
• wherein the cooling element includes a compressor and motor unit;
• wherein the compressor and motor unit includes an evaporator coil for cooling the cooling chamber;
• wherein the evaporator coil has an evaporator coil density that is greater at a designated portion of the cooling chamber;
• wherein the motor has at least two motor settings such that the motor is reversible,
• wherein a first motor setting is a mixing motor setting,
• wherein a second motor setting is a dispensing motor setting,
• wherein the first motor setting causes the auger to rotate in a first direction and wherein the second motor setting causes the auger to rotate in a second direction;
• wherein the first direction is opposite to the second direction;
• wherein the auger includes at least one slot and at least one hinged fin attached adjacent to the at least one slot;
• wherein the hinged fin is capable of rotating between an open position and a closed position;
• wherein in the open position the hinged fin is rotated away from the at least one slot to promote a flow of the cooled material through the at least one slot;
• wherein in the closed position the hinged fin is rotated toward the at least one slot to inhibit a flow of the product through the at least one slot;
• and
• wherein the hinged fin is in the open position during mixing and in the closed position during dispensing.
