    Abstract: Apparatus for preparing and dispensing a diluted beverage (1), comprising: a mains water inlet (2); a valve (3) for opening or shutting water flow; a food concentrate container (6); an outlet (8) for the beverage; a user interface (9) for commanding dispensing of the beverage; a volumetric pump (10) for drawing and mixing the food concentrate and water. The volumetric pump (10) is in fluid communication with the valve (3) outlet (5) and with the beverage (8) outlet. The apparatus (1), further comprises: a first conduit (13), a first end (14) of which is connected to the outlet (7) of the food concentrate container; and a second end (15) of which is connected to the volumetric pump inlet (12); a second conduit (16), a third end (17) of which is in fluid communication with the valve outlet (5); and a fourth end (18) of which is connected to an intermediate portion (19) of the first conduit (13); control means (20) which activate the valve (3) and the volumetric pump (10). The second conduit (16) comprises a section narrowing (21) for regulating the outflow velocity of the water entering the first conduit (13). The apparatus (1), further comprises a detecting unit (22) for detecting the quantity of water flowing from the water inlet (2), connected to the control means (20). The control means (20) activate the volumetric pump (10) so as to regulate the flow of food concentrate and water in response of the data received by the detecting unit (22).

    Abstract: The present invention is a post-mix beverage dispensing valve for accurately maintainig the proper ratio of two liquid beverage components. The present invention includes a valve main body (12) having a gear pump (60) secured thereto. The gear pump includes two sets of oval gears (94, 102). One set of oval gears (94) is in fluid communication with a source of pressurized carbonated water, and the second set (102) is in fluid communication with a source of syrup. The valve body also includes solenoid operated pallet valves (22, 34) for each of the beverage components. One gear of each gear pair is secured to a common rotating shaft. Operation of the solenoid provides for simultaneous opening of both pallet valves whereby the pressurized carbonated water provides for the driving of both gear pairs. The desired ratio between the beverage components is maintained at a constant ratio as a function of the size of the gear pairs relative to each other.

    Abstract: The disclosure involves an apparatus comprising a charger subsystem, the charger subsystem comprising at least a first container having a first micro component, and a second container having a second micro component. The apparatus comprises a dispensing machine located downstream of the charger subsystem. The dispensing machine may comprise a third container, a fourth container, a fifth container, and a sixth container, wherein the volume of each is smaller than the volume of the first container and the second container. The first micro component may be conveyed from the first container of the charger subsystem to either the third container or the fourth container of the dispensing machine when either of them is at a predetermined threshold. The second micro component may be conveyed from the second container of the charger subsystem to either the fifth container or the sixth container when either of them is at a predetermined threshold.

    Abstract: The disclosure concerns a system comprising a diluent source configured to provide a flow of the diluent during a first period of time, a highly concentrated micro component source, and a micro dosing device. The micro dosing device may be configured to dose the highly concentrated micro component during a second period of time. The second period of time may be less than the first period of time, and may overlap with a portion of the first period of time. The system may comprise a controller, the controller configured to control the dosing of the highly concentrated micro component by the micro dosing device. The system may comprise a dispenser, the dispenser configured to allow mixing in the dispenser of the highly concentrated micro component dosed by the micro dosing device and the flow of the diluent.
