Abstract

An electronically controlled multi-flavour drink dispenser having one or two diluent lines and a plurality of concentrate lines leading to a mixing nozzle (9), flow valves (6) for switching the flow on and off in each line, flow adjustment means (8) and electronic control means operated by a control panel (Fig 7). In a first modem the valves (6) are electronically controlled to open simultaneously to supply diluent and a selected concentrate to the mixing nozzle (9). In a second mode, the valves (6) are controlled to supply diluent and concentrate individually to the nozzle for set periods of time to enable the portion size and composition of the drink to be determined and adjusted as required. The drink dispenser is constructed in a modular form and comprises a plug assembly (2), a manifold assembly (5) and a spout assembly (7) provided with push-in connectors (21).
