Abstract

A postmix beverage dispensing system for dispensing a finished beverage directly from a pliable beverage concentrate at freezer temperatures, without the need for forcing the concentrate through a heat exchanger. The system preferably uses a single blow molded disposable concentrate package having the two parts of (1) a concentrate container, and (2) a metering pump and mixing nozzle. The concentrate container is placed in a canister and pressurized and a pump actuator is connected to the metering pump along with a pressurized water line. The dispenser requires no cleanup or sanitization and allows rapid flavor change. The invention includes an improved metering pump.
