The invention concerns an assembly (1) for engaging and activating a bargun (2), the bargun having a handle (21) with at least one button (22, 23) on its upper surface (24) and a nozzle (25) perpendicular to the handle, the assembly comprising:a draining body (11) presenting:. an opening (111) for receiving the bargun nozzle,. an outlet (112) configured for being connected to the drain,a bargun holding bracket (12) attached to the draining body, said bracket defining a space (s) for holding the handle and the free end (121) of said bracket being configured for activating the at least one button on the upper surface of the handle when the handle is slid in said space.

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.

An automated Clean-In-Place unit (4;41) is configured for cleaning at least one beverage dispensing line (DL) between a take-off station and a dispensing station of a beverage dispensing system. The automated Clean-In-Place unit (4;41) comprises a keg coupler, a cleaning coupler and/or a coupling unit (3) consisting of said couplers mounted to or mountable to any of a keg (1) containing the beverage (15), to a compressible beverage container, or to both the keg (1) and the compressible beverage container, said keg coupler, cleaning coupler and/or coupling unit (3) consisting of said couplers has at least one coupler inlet (24a; 24b) and at least one coupler outlet (28). The automated Clean-In-Place unit (4;41) comprises a control valve (20) comprising an outlet port (23) arranged to provide fluid communication with the at least one coupler inlet (24a; 24b), a first inlet port (19) arranged to provide fluid communication with a source of ozonated water (18), and optionally a second inlet port (22) arranged to provide fluid communication with a source of pressurized gas (21).

A system for cleaning a beverage dispenser that has a nozzle for receiving a beverage and a sanitizing fluid as a housing. The housing has an outer wall and inner wall with annular flow path between the walls. There is a central flow path through the nozzle and a connection for fluid flow of sanitizing fluid between the central flow path and the annular flow path. The nozzle also has inlet for introduction of the sanitizing fluid. The system can be provided with a controller for controlling temperature, pressure and flow rate of the sanitizing fluid, the controller including memory for storing information when sanitization occurred.

The present invention relates to a system and method for treating air and water in refrigerated spaces using ozone-based disinfection. The system includes an electrolytic ozone generator configured to produce gaseous ozone from water and an air circulation subsystem to create an oxidizing airflow within a housing. The airflow is directed across a titanium dioxide-coated surface to reduce ozone concentration before reentry into the refrigerated space. A controller manages disinfection and purification modes, enabling safe air treatment in environments such as ice machines, walk-in refrigerators, and consumer appliances. In some embodiments, aqueous ozone is also routed to ice makers or water dispensers for waterline disinfection. Optional features include manganese dioxide treatment modules for hydroxyl radical generation, automated door locking during disinfection, and ozone sensors for safety compliance. The invention enables programmable, sensor-driven, and safe disinfection cycles without requiring external ozone emission, supporting food safety and occupant protection.

Portable keg cooling units, systems, and methods are described. In some examples, a portable keg cooling unit comprises a cabinet having a temperature-controlled inner compartment configured to house and cool a keg and its contents, a dispenser for dispensing beverage from the keg, and a chiller unit operable to cool beverage extracted from the keg, to ensure the beverage is at an optimal desired temperature when it reaches the dispenser to minimize undesirable foaming.

Beverage dispensing nozzles and methods are described, including structures and mechanisms for selectively purging desaturated gas from the nozzle before dispensing, for ensuring beverage in the nozzle is maintained and dispensed at an optimal desired temperature, for disinfecting beverage-contacting surfaces, and for electronically activating a pour, among other things.

A cleaning system for a beverage dispenser, the system comprising: a water source; a cleaner solution source and/or a sanitizer solution source; at least one cleanable ingredient circuit of the beverage dispenser which is in fluid connection with the water source, and the cleaner solution source and/or sanitizer solution source; a first conduit for connecting the water source to the at least one cleanable ingredient circuit via a sensor; at least one second conduit for connecting the cleaner solution source and/or sanitizer solution source to the first conduit via at least one pump prior to the sensor, thereby forming a mixture of the water, a cleaner solution, and/or a sanitizing solution; and a controller for: (a) receiving a first signal from the sensor representative of electrical conductivity of the mixture, whereby the controller calculates a dilution ratio of the mixture from the electrical conductivity; and/or (b) receiving a second signal from the sensor indicative of a flow rate of the mixture passing through the sensor via the first conduit.
