摘要: An apparatus for introducing a selected beverage into a flexible pouch (8), sealingly closing the pouch (8) and dispensing the closed pouch (8). The apparatus comprises a housing (4) adapted to, in use, accept a plurality of reservoirs (10) of beverage concentrate. Each reservoir (10) has a concentrate pump (12) provided with a diluent inlet and a mixer for mixing pumped concentrate with diluent to produce a mixed beverage. Leading from each pump (12) is flexible conduit (14) terminating in a nozzle (68) for dispensing the mixed beverage. The apparatus further comprises a multiple dispense head (20) for accepting the plurality of nozzles (68), the nozzles (68) being movable relative to a filling position such that any one of the nozzles (68) can be presented at the filling position, a means for, in use, selecting a flexible pouch (8) and bringing it into alignment with a nozzle (68) in the filling position where it is filled via an opening therein, and a means for, in use, sealingly closing the opening and dispensing the filled sealed flexible pouch (8) from the apparatus. Methods of loading a concentrate reservoir (10), disengaging a removable pump (12) and changing a removable pump (12) are also disclosed. A flexible pouch with rigid spout and mixing element are also disclosed.

摘要: A disposable pump unit (100) for receiving and metering a predetermined volume of fluid has a body with a surface at which opens the mouth of a cavity (7) formed in the body. An inlet port (4) for the fluid opens at the surface adjacent to the mouth of the cavity (7) and a plurality of outlets (9) are provided in the cavity (7) that open to a fluid flow passageway extending through the body and connecting the cavity (7) to an outlet port (10). A flexible membrane (8) overlies the cavity (7), the inlet port (4) and the outlet port (10) and is sealingly secured at its periphery to the surface. A re-usatile pump actuating unit (200) is co-operable with the pump unit (100) to position the membrane (8) between the cavity (7) in the pump unit (100) and a matching cavity (21) in the actuating unit (200). The membrane (8) is towards and away from the cavity (7) by connecting the cavity (21) to a source of positive and negative fluid pressure via a port (18). The actuating unit (200) has an armature (19) operable to displace the membrane (8) to close the inlet port (4) when the outlet port (10) is open and an armature (20) operable to displace the membrane (8) to close the outlet port (10) when the inlet port (4) is open. In use, the pump unit (100) draws fluid into the cavity (7) when the inlet port (4) is open and a negative fluid pressure is applied to the chamber (21) and pumps the fluid out of the cavity (7), when the inlet port (4) is closed and a positive fluid pressure is applied to the chamber (21).
