Abstract
A spinner head provides for the production of high fat content floss. The spinner head includes a base and a cover spaced from the base. A plurality of discrete spaced apart elongate heating elements are positioned between the base and the cover and define a chamber for accommodating feedstock material therein. The chamber is spun and the feedstock material is heated and is expelled through the spaces between the heating elements. Feedstock engagement surfaces are positioned in alignment with each of the spaces between the heating elements so as to engage the expelled feedstock to alter the direction of travel of the expelled product.
