Embodiment Construction

[0042] According to the dispensing method of the present invention, a distributor of beverages or liquid food uses a flexible bag 10 of the form shown in Figure 1a. This bag 10 is composed of polymeric construction for food grade applications and is designed to withstand typical handling, which may include wear and tear. Such a flexible bag 10 is fitted or formed with a valve, nozzle or cock at the tap hole 12 through which a beverage such as drinking water is guided to fill the bag. A suitable stopcock 20 is described in US 6,296,157 and US 6,360,925, filed in the name of Scholle Corporation, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Such a cock 20 in Figure 1b Shown stereoscopically. It has an actuator 21 to start the flow of fluid and a ribbed end 22 for fitting the socket to the tap hole 12, the ribs forming a seal with the smooth interior of the tap hole 12. The absence of threads at the end 22 avoids potential abrasion and the risk of debris flowing ...

Flexible bags ( 10 ) are delivered to a consumer, the beverage or liquid food product being dispensed for consumption ban an end consumer. Through each step in the distribution method, hazard and critical control points during distribution and dispensing are minimised, the "one way" nature of the preferred embodiment of the method minimising recovery and recycling costs at well as potential hygiene problems associated with re-use of containers currently in use.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of dispensing and dispensing beverages and liquid food. Background technique [0002] Bottled water delivery is one of the most important markets in the food industry, worth billions of dollars. [0003] Currently, bottled drinking water is delivered to consumers in large polycarbonate bottles. Such bottles typically hold 15-19 liters of product, correspondingly weighing between 15-19 kg. These bottles are recyclable, but the hygienic practices necessary to provide some measure of integrity present an existing problem in the industry. [0004] Hygiene is a major consideration. Maintaining a HACCP (Hazard and Critical Control Points) system is difficult when a bottle is used by a consumer, returned without a cap and then stored by a retailer until the bottle is cleaned and sterilized. Whether a bottle has been used to store a substance that is toxic or incompatible with safe distribution of bottled water is ...
