A liquid dispensing system comprises a container enclosing a chamber. A flexible bag in the chamber contains a first liquid. First and second conduits are contained in the chamber. The first conduit connects the chamber to an outlet port in the container where the second conduit connects the bag to the first conduit. A supply source introduces a pressurized second liquid into the chamber. The first conduit serves to direct an existing flow of the second liquid from the chamber to the outlet port, with the pressurized second liquid serving to collapse the bag and expel the first liquid contained therein via the second conduit to the first conduit for mixture with the exiting flow of the second liquid. The second conduit lacks flow restrictions, such as metering orifices or the like.

A machine for making liquid or semi-liquid products, including: a processing container for processing a basic liquid or semi-liquid product, defining a processing chamber and provided with a stirrer rotating inside the processing chamber; a thermal treatment system associated with the processing container for heating and/or cooling the processing chamber; a dispensing device which is associated with the processing container to receive therefrom the processed, basic liquid or semi-liquid product, and which is equipped with controls for delivering the processed, basic liquid or semi-liquid product to the outside of the processing container; an electronic control unit for controlling at least one actuator of the machine, a plurality of syrup containers, at least one heating and/or cooling device connectable to one or more of the syrup containers and/or connecting pipes and/or pumps in order to thermally treat the syrups.

A shaked beverage dispensing apparatus (1) comprising: a beverage dispenser (2); a housing (30), including a cavity (32) for holding the beverage dispenser (2), a weighted cork (18) which blocks an outlet (29) from the beverage dispenser, a first nozzle (12) extending from the outlet (29), a second nozzle (27) which is movable in relation to the first nozzle (12), a lifting bracket (26) attached to or abutting the second nozzle (27), a lifting mechanism (41) attached to one end of the lifting bracket (26), a lifting rod (28), an outer funnel (35) at least partly beneath the first and second nozzles, the lifting bracket 26 capable of being raised by the lifting mechanism (41) to raise the second nozzle (27), causing the lifting rod (28) to dislodge the weighted cork (18) allowing beverage to flow from the outlet (29) and through the first and second nozzles, and thence through the outer funnel (35), the outer funnel (35) remaining fixed during the movement of the second nozzle (27).

The present application provides a beverage dispensing system for dispensing beverages with low solubility ingredients. The beverage dispensing system may include a sweetener flow, a first diluent flow, a low solubility ingredient premixing system for mixing a low solubility ingredient with a second diluent flow to create a mixed flow, and a nozzle to mix the sweetener flow, the first diluent flow, and the mixed flow.

Agitating a plurality of fluid packages in a tower. The housing tower may include a stationary tower as well as an agitation device. The agitation device may include an agitation chassis assembly and an agitation rack tower. The plurality of fluid packages may be received at the agitation rack tower. Once received, the plurality of fluid packages may be connected to a pump assembly, wherein the pump assembly is located at the agitation chassis assembly. In addition, the agitation rack tower may be agitated relative to the agitation chassis assembly about a pivot point located on the agitation rack tower.

In a soup supply apparatus, when a hopper upper lid and a vertical rotation shaft that has a stirring blade are to be cleaned, at least the hopper upper lid and the vertical rotation shaft are configured to be easily disassembled and to be easily coupled after cleaning as well. In addition, a cylindrical first engaging body on an output shaft side and a cylindrical second engaging body on the vertical rotation shaft side are configured as to be easily and reliably engaged by a free end portion of an upper-portion housing box of a machine body lowered in a downward direction. Furthermore, the apparatus is configured to support the vertical rotation shaft to the hopper upper lid in a stable state.
