A dispensing system including: a pressure vessel with an inlet and an outlet; a first CF Valve coupled to the inlet; a second CF Valve coupled to the outlet; a bag with elements in the bag coupled to the outlet and located inside the pressure vessel; and a pressure source coupled to the first CF Valve where the first CF Valve pressurizes the pressure vessel via the pressure source to transport elements in the bag to the second CF Valve via the outlet and the second CF Valve dispenses the elements to a dispensing area.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for automating the cleaning and sanitizing processes of a food dispensing machine. The systems and methods may be set to run automatically and may keep a dispensing system cleaned and sanitized for an extended time. The systems and methods disclosed are designed to make cleaning easier for the operator, shorten the overall cleaning time, reduce the amount of labor involved, and improve the convenience, reliability, and repeatability of the cleaning processes.

The invention relates to a sanitary fitting for dispensing treated liquids, comprising a first control element for setting a quantity of a liquid to be dispensed, a second control element for setting the type of liquid to be dispensed, a display device comprising a plurality of optical display elements, and a control device which is connected to the control elements and/or to a treatment device on the one hand, and on the other hand to the display device, such that control element settings and/or at least one state of the treatment device are displayed by means of separate actuation of the optical display elements.

Kegs of beer may be connected in parallel alongside one or more valves that connect to a flushing fluid supply. When a beer is selected, the associated beer valve opens so that beer can be dispensed. After a pour is completed, the system automatically flushes the beverage tubing line clean by opening a flushing fluid valve, allowing flushing fluid to cleanse the line. This flushing of the line enables the system to dispense a beer from a recently flushed line for each pour, and/or dispense many different beers because leftovers of a beer from an earlier pour do not contaminate the line for later pours. The system is also configured to measure the time poured based on information from a sensor in a dispenser (e.g., a tap handle). The time poured and a measured flow rate are used to calculate the total price to charge a customer for the beer.

The disclosure generally relates to an automated modular dispensing platform for creating customized beverages (e.g., using various sauces, syrups, sweeteners, colors and/or flavors added to a base beverage). The automated dispensing platform may simultaneously aggregate beverage modifiers or ingredients (e.g., sweetener, flavor, and/or color) and facilitate automated, efficient cleaning cycles for modular beverage dispensers.

Provided is a liquid supply system with which it is possible to perform quality control of a liquid provided by the system. A liquid supply system (101) that pumps a liquid in a storage container (10) through a supply tube (30) and dispenses the liquid from a liquid dispensing spout of a dispensing device (50), said liquid supply system (101) comprising: a jetting prevention device (110) that has a liquid inlet (111), a liquid outlet (112), and a float (116) for closing the liquid outlet due to inflow of air from the liquid inlet, thereby preventing jetting of pressurized air from the liquid dispensing spout, and provides cleaning or no cleaning inside of a conduit in the liquid supply system; a liquid absence detection device (120) that has a no-liquid/liquid passing sensor (122) for detecting that the liquid in the storage container is gone, and sends empty storage container information; and a transmission device (130) that has a control unit (131) for carrying out control of information transmission to a communication line (200).
