The transfer device also includes a cleaning member for the inclined wall when moving from the open position into the closed position and vice versa.

Described is an apparatus for preparing baby formula using a liquid concentrate solution. The apparatus includes a housing with a cavity for receiving and holding a container liquid concentrate solution. A motor is attached with the housing for forcing liquid concentrate solution from the container and into a mixing chamber. A pump and a water tank are also included. A spray head is attached with the housing. The spray head includes a plurality of spray jets in fluid connection with the pump for receiving water from the water tank and dispensing water from the spray jets into the mixing chamber. Finally, the mixing chamber receives the liquid concentrate solution and water, such that when the water and the liquid concentrate solution are introduced into the mixing chamber, the water and liquid concentrate solution mix into a baby formula and are dispensed from an outlet in the mixing chamber.

A beverage production device prepares a beverage from a beverage concentrate contained in a receptacle. The beverage production device includes a support member for supporting the receptacle, a plate member arranged vertically to the support means, the plate member including at least four outlet nozzles for injecting a fluid jet into the receptacle. A liquid supply member is connected to the outlet nozzles, and at least two of the outlet nozzles are designed to direct a fluid jet to an inner side wall of the receptacle and are arranged at different angles with respect the vertical. At least two of the outlet nozzles are designed to direct a fluid jet to the bottom of the receptacle and are arranged at different angles with respect to the vertical.

The present invention, which is entitled mixture-based composite product processing machine, mixing element, and mixing assembly, relates to a mixed product dispensing machine of the type that dispenses a mixture of liquid or powder components or ingredients into a mixing element onto which a leak-tight cover is subsequently placed and inside which, as a result of its particular configuration, the liquid and/or powder portions are mixed by spinning them in a coordinated manner on at least one spinning head of the machine to which said container is coupled.

A disposable beverage pod includes a first compartment containing a beverage concentrate in dry or semi-dry form and a second compartment containing ethanol. An apparatus for making a single serving beverage is operable to receive the disposable beverage pod and mix the contents thereof with water from a water reservoir and optionally pressurized gas from a pressurized gas source to form a single serving beverage.

A device (1) for preparing a beverage includes an outlet opening (15) which flows into a storage tank (6) provided with a dispenser (17) for dispensing the beverage into a container. A control unit (7) supplies the beverage to the storage tank (6) in response to a signal from an operating unit (9) for at least two consecutive preparation cycles (B1, B2). The volume of the beverage prepared in at least two consecutive preparation cycles is supplied in a more or less constant and uninterrupted flow via the dispenser (17) of the storage tank (6) to the container.

Provided is a liquid beverage manufacturing device for discharging a liquid beverage from a pressure container filled with the liquid beverage to enable tasting the liquid beverage. The device includes: the pressure container in which high pressure nitrogen and a liquid beverage are filled and sealed and from which the nitrogen and the liquid beverage are discharged, through a discharge tube, by internal pressure when the discharge tube is pushed inwards; and the jig having a discharge hole, into which the discharge tube is inserted. In a state in which the jig is placed on the top surface of the cup, the discharge tube can be formed to be inserted into the discharge hole up to a predetermined depth and then is pushed inwards of the pressure container without being inserted any further such that the liquid beverage passes through the discharge hole and is discharged into the cup.
