Abstract

A beverage dispensing system is provided, including a main body that includes an interior cavity adapted to receive a beverage container, an adaptor module, and a controlled gas system. The adaptor module is configured to provide fluidic coupling from the beverage container to the controlled gas system, such that a beverage may be dispensed through from a tap connected to the adaptor with the aidof positive gas pressure disposed on a beverage surface within the beverage container. The controlled gas system exerts a positive pressure on a surface of the beverage in the beverage container suchthat when a tap is opened to dispense the beverage, the relative pressure difference between the positive pressure on the surface of the beverage and the ambient pressure causes the beverage to be dispensed from the tap.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments generally relate to beverage dispensers. In particular, embodiments relate to ready-to-drink systems utilizing controlled gas systems to assist in dispensing. Background technique [0002] Various systems and methods for beverage dispensing systems may be used. Beverage dispensing units have become a common means for food and beverage establishments to prepare or dispense on-site fountain beverages. Typically, these units include several bag-in-box containers, each containing a syrup, a liquid source for dispensing liquid, a mixing unit and a dispensing unit. The syrup is pumped from the bag-in-box container to the mixing unit where it is mixed with liquid to form the beverage, which is then dispensed through the dispensing unit. Typically, a pump causes the syrup to be released from the bag-in-box container into the mixing unit. [0003] However, in developing countries and emerging markets, operators of markets or roadside stalls ...
