Device for dispensing carbonated beverages and a three-way cock

Abstract

The beverage dispensing device comprises a housing which is provided with supply channels to be connected to gas feeding pipelines and to pipe conduits for supplying a beverage from an isobaric container and an axisymmetric cavity having three sequentially disposed annular chambers with supply and discharge channels. The cock is designed in the form of a hollow sliding valve with radial through holes, can be longitudinally reciprocatingly moved and fixed in three positions. In the two positions, one of the supply channels is connected to the discharge channel, in the third position, all the channels being disconnected. A foam suppression unit is arranged in the cavity of a pouring cylinder and is designed in the form of a nozzle with an axial channel and a cylindrical section, which cylinder is provided with a screw-type pouring channel. The device comprises a throttle valve connected to the axial through channel of the nozzle and a mechanism for fastening the neck of a plastic bottle to the pouring channel which is additionally provided with an inner sleeve.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to the food industry and more particularly to commercial equipment and for dispensing beer and other frothy and / or carbonated beverages from isobaric tanks to plastic bottles in retail kiosks, shops, restaurants and bars. Background technique [0002] In order to fill a container (whether a bottle or a keg) with product through the valve (or outlet) there needs to be some difference between the pressure in the supply line and the pressure inside the container. This difference determines the rate at which product is supplied to the container. Usually, in order to prevent the liquid level from rising due to turbulence, the product is supplied at a moderate initial speed, and then the speed is slowly increased. For this purpose, the pressure of the gas in the container is initially pumped to a value well above the saturation pressure at which the gas dissolves in the liquid. The liquid to be dispensed is also kept...

Problems solved by technology

[0009] A disadvantage of this device is the low operational reliability of the three-way cock cartridge for beverage dispensing equipment due to the formation of beer and wine stones between the movable plates of the three-way cock cartridge; Another disadvantage is that it is difficult to maintain the disc due to the need to frequently clean it and seal it after finishing dispensing of beer or other beverage; The performance of the unit at the end is not reliable, because by turning the lever to secure the PET bottle, the PET bottle held by the operator's hand turns together with the spoon and the housing of the device, so that the bottle often slips out of the operator's hand
