A connector for delivering taps is described, comprising: a pouring element that connects a tube that takes liquid from the tap to a dispensing device; a valve made of silicone, that performs static and dynamic seals inside the connector; a body, that contains the tap and is coupled with the pouring element; at least one lever, that is connected to the body and makes the tap open through a rotation around a fulcrum obtained on the body; and a small blocking plug, connected to the lever and adapted to engage the tap in an opening and continuous delivery position thereof; the small plug is made in a single piece with a metallic spring having a flexible shape for inserting and fastening it to the lever; the spring is adapted, upon opening the connector, to make the small plug go back to its opening position.

Device 5 for connecting a gas line 6 to a bag-in-container type of container 3, comprising a first 61 and a second part 62, movably connected to said first part 61, wherein one of the first or second part 61, 62 comprises a coupling opening 60 with coupling elements 67 for connecting the device 5 to a part of a bag-in-container type container 3 extending inside coupling opening 60. The connecting device 5 comprises a connecting element 70, movable between an extended position wherein the connecting element 70 extends partly inside coupling opening 60 and a retracted position in which the connecting element 70 extends less or not into coupling opening 60, the connecting device 5 further comprising a mechanism 72 for moving the connecting element 70 between the extended and the retracted position by relative movement of first and second parts 61, 62.

A clean-in-place system may include a first dispensing area; a second dispensing area; an Nth dispensing area; a first clean-in-place device; and one or more processors which may control the first clean-in-place device to clean one or more of the first dispensing area, the second dispensing area, and the Nth dispensing area.

Container of a bag-in-container type, wherein a neck region of the container is provided with at least one opening extending substantially radially there through, into a space between the outer container and an inner container adjacent thereto, wherein the neck region is provided with coupling elements, preferably at opposite sides of the at least one opening, seen in circumferential direction, for coupling of a connecting device to the container for introducing a pressure fluid through the at least one opening into a space between the inner and outer container.

A post-mix beverage dispenser utilizing a liquid concentrate in a self-pressurized container is provided. The beverage dispenser includes a connector and flow control valve to regulate the pressure of the liquid concentrate in the system. The liquid concentrate and diluent are mixed at the nozzle of the post-mix beverage dispense.

This invention relates to a fitment assembly used for dispensing liquids from flexible bags. The connector engages a valved fitment for a container for holding and dispensing fluid. The fitment includes a spout connected to the container and a sliding internal valve body and an external valve body securely positioned within the spout. The connector has a fitment end mateable with the fitment so as to compress the top edge of the external valve body so as to form a seal between the external valve body and the dispensing connector. The external valve body through circumferentially placed apertures allows for substantially complete drainage of the flexible bag.

Various embodiments include a filling apparatus that can be connected to a valve on a keg, such as a Sankey-D valve, and can be used to pour alcohol and other liquids into the keg, which may be pre-filled with a non-alcoholic drink mix. The filling apparatus has an upper structure which is coupled to a lower portion configured to mate with a keg valve. The filling apparatus may be designed to depress portions of the keg valve to allow for both filling and venting of the keg simultaneously. The filling apparatus may further be designed with features to prevent liquid escape during degassing of the keg. The filling apparatus may include a Sankey-D coupler or a coupler with a probe portion as the lower body portion.

Provided herein is a dispenser head for a beverage cask which has a valve head with a spring-loaded valve disc. The dispenser head includes a housing, a connection element for fastening the housing to the valve head of the beverage cask, a propellant gas inlet, configured on the housing, for connecting a propellant gas line, a ram which is mounted movably in the housing and contains a riser duct and which, by pressing into the valve head, opens the spring-loaded valve disc, a liquid outlet for connecting a beverage line and an actuating mechanism for actuating the ram. The actuating mechanism is configured as a rotational mechanism which has a spiral gearing and a hand wheel connected to the ram and to the spiral gearing.

A post-mix beverage dispenser utilizing a liquid concentrate in a self-pressurized container is provided. The beverage dispenser includes a connector and flow control valve to regulate the pressure of the liquid concentrate in the system. The liquid concentrate and diluent are mixed at the nozzle of the post-mix beverage dispense.

Container of a bag-in-container type, wherein a neck region of the container is provided with at least one opening extending substantially radially there through, into a space between the outer container and an inner container adjacent thereto, wherein the neck region is provided with coupling elements, preferably at opposite sides of the at least one opening, seen in circumferential direction, for coupling of a connecting device to the container for introducing a pressure fluid through the at least one opening into a space between the inner and outer container.
