Embodiment Construction

[0050] figure 1 A device 1 of the invention is shown. The device 1 comprises a container 2 filled with a powdered food ingredient 3 which falls by gravity onto a dosing system 4 comprising a dosing chamber 14 and a device enabling the dosing chamber to be driven by an external motor. Coupling mechanism 13. The pre-measured powder 3 is dosed in the dosing system 4 and conveyed via the powder line 5 into the bowl of the mixing chamber 7 where it is mixed with the pre-measured powder introduced through the diluent inlet 8 of the mixing chamber 7. Metered hot water is mixed and the diluent inlet is coupled to an external diluent source. The resulting mixture is distributed via food outlet 9 . The device 1 comprises a cylindrical air chamber 6 concentric with and surrounding the powder duct 5 . The purpose of this air chamber is to generate an air flow 11 around the powder duct outlet 12 exposed in the mixing chamber 7 . For this purpose, the air chamber is provided with an ai...

Abstract

The invention concerns a device (1) for storing and metering a powder (3) and mixing said powder with a diluent to prepare a food product, the device being able to be connected to a tank containing the diluent and to a source of air, the device comprising : - a multidose container (2) to form a reserve of powder (3), - a powder dosing system (4), - a powder duct (5) integrated in an air chamber (6) configured to carry air around the powder duct oulet, - said powder duct oulet (5) emerging in a mixing chamber (7) comprising a diluent inlet (8) and a food product outlet (9), - the whole forming a single piece disposable device.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for preparing and delivering a mixture of a soluble powder and a diluent. In particular, the invention relates to the preparation and delivery of beverages or other liquid food products by metering food powder and mixing the food powder with a diluent. The invention can be used for the hygienic, easy and fast delivery of beverages made of powder and water, frothy or non-foamy, hot or cold. Background technique [0002] In conventional beverage dispensers, the beverage is reduced from a liquid concentrate or powder contained in a container. The liquid concentrate or powder is metered and mixed inside the dispenser with a diluent, usually hot or cold water - through the pipes, pump and mixing bowl. Mixing is generally performed by a mechanical stirrer contained within a chamber. The traditional preparation of these beverages therefore requires extensive maintenance and cleaning in order to keep these parts in ...
