Abstract: A process for providing a predetermined quantity of a particulate material in which the particulate material is deposited on a defined area of a sticky surface of a substrate. The process is suitable for deposition of particulate drug material on a substrate such as a strip form substrate which can then be compacted to provide a delivery device for delivering the predetermined quantity of the particulate material. Such a delivery device, and an apparatus to perform the process, comprise further aspects of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for cooling a beverage, the system comprising: a beverage line (5) connectable to a beverage supply for transporting beverage from the beverage supply through an insulated carrier to a dispensation site (1), a cooling medium generator (2) for generating a cooling medium; a cooling line (6) for transporting the cooling medium from the cooling medium generator through the insulated carrier so as to allow heat exchange between the cooling medium in the cooling line and the beverage in the beverage line; and a pump (3) for pumping the cooling medium through the cooling line. The cooling medium generator (2) is an ice slush generator. The present invention also relates to a method of cooling a beverage flowing through a beverage line using ice slush as a cooling medium.
