Abstract:
Smart beer tap (9) associated with an operating algorithm which is able to be activated upon the desired amount of beer and the amount of head demanded that have been previously entered via a screen, said smart beer tap comprising, in a state able to be fixed on a tap (3), a tap flow rate regulating arm (5), which allows the passage of the variable flow rate depending on the tap temperature and ambient temperature values and the pressure value according to the amount of beer the amount of head demanded, thus enabling the beer to be poured in a glass in an pptimum manner, and which is activated by means of a tap flow rate regulating arm motor (2), and a tap open/close arm (4), which is activated by means of a tap open/close arm motor (1).
Abstract:
A system and method for dispensing fluids is introduced. A preferred embodiment comprises a sealed tank, a bag containing fluid inside the sealed tank, an outlet for dispensing the liquid in the bag, and a pressure generating device to create pressure in the sealed tank.
Abstract:
A switch over device provides a product dispenser with the capability to switch from a first diluent flow circuit to a second diluent flow circuit. The switch over device attaches to the dispenser, and includes a manifold having a first diluent inlet and a second diluent inlet in communication with a diluent outlet. The switch over device further includes a first and a second stem assembly, wherein the first and second stem assemblies are biased to a first position that interrupts flow from the first and second diluent inlets to the diluent outlet. In a second position, the stem assemblies permit fluid flow to the diluent outlet. The switch over device further includes actuators that enable an operator to easily switch from the one flow circuit to the other. The product dispenser may switch from virtually any type of diluent, and/or diluent temperatures, including ambient, chilled, and carbonated diluents.
Abstract:
A system for dispensing mixed beverages has a processor (6) to control the liquid dispensed at an outlet (2) in dependence upon the demand of a user as input to a keypad (8). Carbonated water is fed to the outlet (2) by way of tubing (12) and a syrup concentrate is also fed thereto by way of a tubing (20). The water and syrup is mixed in the correct quantities by way of respective proportional valves (14) which adjust the quantity or flow rate of the two constituents fed through a mixing chamber (16) in accordance with flow rate readings provided to the processor (6) by respective flow transducers (22). The flow transducers (22) measure the speed of flow ultrasonically and are able to provide flow rate readings at a rate of 50 per second. The proportional valves (14) are able to adjust the quantities fed to the mixing chamber (16) at a similar rate such that the mix can be reliably determined even if there are transitory pressure drops or viscosity changes in the system.

Abstract:
Bei einer Vorrichtung zum Zapfen von Getränken mit wenigstens einer Flüssigkeitsaufbereitungsleitung und wenigstens einem daran angeordneten Zapfventil, ist der Fiüssigkeitsaufbereitungsleitung wenigstens ein Schaltventil zugeordnet. Das Schaltventii weist wenigstens drei Anschlussöffnungen auf, wobei wenigstens eine der Anschlussöffnungen als Beschickungsöffnung einer im Inneren des Schaltventils angeordneten Desinfektionsmittelaufnahme ausgebildet ist. Außerdem ist wenigstens eine der Anschlussöffnungen des Schaltventils als Einströmöffnung und eine andere der Anschlussöffnungen als Ausströmöffnung ausgebildet.
Abstract:
The quick opening and closing valve of the present invention has a ball (40) or other type of plunger that moves in a main chamber (10) from a closed position seated on the outlet (28) to an open position spaced from the seat (30) formed where the outlet and chamber meet. A control port (52) extends into the chamber (44) on the other side of the plunger (40) from the outlet (28). The control port (52) is alternatively opened or closed by a control gate (54). The pressure at the outlet is approximately atmospheric, but some fluid flows to the other side of the plunger which elevates the pressure there, urging the plunger against the seat (30). Opening the control port (52) drops pressure on that side of the plunger approximately to atmospheric, whereupon the force of the fluid pushes the plunger (40) away from the seat.
Abstract:
Bag-on-valve ("BOV") systems adapted to dispense viscous liquids, particularly syrup, which ordinarily crystallize in the presence of atmospheric oxygen and thereby block the flow path from the hag to the exterior of the container. The present systems utilize a BOV flow path diameter effective to inhibit crystallization-based blockage. This facilitates storage of syrups at room temperature without needing refrigeration, and allows control over the dispensing amount through the use of a spray actuator. Methods for filling a BOV system with viscous product include a step to remove remnant product in the valve stem which may inhibit initial discharge. Such methods include exposure to a water source to dislodge and remove or dilute the remnant for evaporation or expulsion during initial discharge.
