The screw drive mechanism 4 drives the screw conveyor 3 to rotate, so that the sauce is conveyed from the inlet 12 to the outlet 312.

[0036] This novel sauce dispenser operates by having the sauce, loaded into a container 1, stirred in real-time by a mixing mechanism 2 according to a pre-set program. The uniformly mixed sauce exits from the discharge port 12 of the container 1 to the inlet 311 of a screw conveyor 3. A screw drive mechanism 4 then rotates the screw conveyor 3, which automatically and quantitatively delivers the sauce to the outlet 312. Compared to manual operation, this significantly improves efficiency and sauce delivery accuracy. This new sauce dispenser is suitable for various types of sauces with a certain viscosity, providing smooth and efficient delivery.
