Molded ice confectionery articles are prepared by delivering a hard ice confectionery composition to a metering device chamber under a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure, keeping the composition in the device chamber under a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure and metering the composition from the composition from the device chamber under a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure into a mold member positioned in an environment for freezing the composition metered into the mold member for obtaining a molded frozen article. So operating allows the composition delivered to the device chamber to have a percentage of frozen water to total water of at least 50%.

Molded ice confectionery articles are prepared by delivering a hard ice confectionery composition to a metering device chamber under a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure, keeping the composition in the device chamber under a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure and metering the composition from the composition from the device chamber under a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure into a mold member positioned in an environment for freezing the composition metered into the mold member for obtaining a molded frozen article. So operating allows the composition delivered to the device chamber to have a percentage of frozen water to total water of at least 50%. n in a vortex motion toward the center of the swirl chamber; and forming a spray orifice which extends through the thin section of material at the center of the swirl chamber such that the first fluid to be sprayed can move from said swirl chamber to said spray orifice and then exit the spray orifice in a conically-shaped spray; and providing at least one feed slot in fluid communication with the swirl chamber and which extends non-radially to said swirl chamber for supplying the first fluid to be sprayed through the injector assembly; and etching a cylindrical swirler passage in a second thin plate of etchable material, and locating the second plate in stacked relation relative to the first plate such that the cylindrical swirler passage is located in co-axial relation to the spray orifice of the swirler passage such that the first fluid directed through the spray orifice passes through the swirl passage and swirling second fluid can be imparted to the first fluid to cause the first fluid to have a swirling component of motion; and providing at least one second fluid feed slot in fluid communication with the swirler passage and extending in non-radial relation thereto for supplying the second fluid to the swirler passage. 9. A method of forming an injector assembly, comprising the steps of: providing a metering set including a first thin plate of etchable material, a first feed slot for supplying a first fluid to the first plate, and an orifice for dispensing the first fluid in a spray; and etching a cylindrical swirler passage in a second thin plate of etchable material, and locating the second plate in stacked relation relative to the first plate such that the cylindrical swirler passage is located in co-axial relation to the spray orifice such that the first fluid directed through the spray orifice passes through the swirl passage and swirling second fluid can be imparted to the first fluid to cause the first fluid to have a swirling component of motion; and providing at least one second fluid feed slot in fluid communication with the swirler passage and extending in non-radial relation thereto for supplying the second fluid to the swirler passage. 10. The method as in claim 1, wherein the at least one air feed slot extends in the plane of the second thin plate of etchable material. 11. Tue method as in claim 8, wherein the at least one second feed slot extends in the plane of the second thin plate of etchable material. 12. The method as in claim 9, wherein the at least one second fluid feed slot extends in the plane of the second thin plate of etchable material.
