MULTIFLAVOR NOZZLE FOR POSTMIX BEVERAGE DISPENSER

摘要

A nozzle, preferably a multiflavor nozzle, for a postmix beverage dispenser and a method for dispensing including a nozzle body, a water passageway and a plurality of separate syrup passageways therethrough, wherein the water passageway includes a water inlet chamber, a plurality of small holes leading into an expansion chamber and then leading to a water stream shaping device including a plurality of axially extending passages, and then a first, radially extending annular chamber leading into a second axially extending annular chamber to produce an even, uniform, cylindrical stream of water surrounding a syrup stream. The CO2 comes out of solution in the water passageway to prevent foaming and no mixing occurs in the nozzle, to prevent flavor carry-over, while providing high carbonation retention and minimizing brix stratification.
