  • Publication number: 20240141884
    Abstract: An embodiment system and method for dispensing multiple dairy products includes a dispenser which houses two or more dairy product bases with different formulations, which may be combined with or without water to create a multitude of homogenous dairy beverages. The two or more dairy product bases may be mixed together first and then separately mixed with water, mixed together simultaneously with water, or mixed together without adding water. They may be mixed together with or without additional flavoring, ingredients, mineral or nutritional additives. The dispenser comprises a pump with a quick-release mechanism to allow for quick and clean maintenance of the system.

  • Publication number: 20150289704
    Abstract: A dispenser which has parts that can be removed, cleaned or disposed of when changing supply containers such that the supply containers can be quickly changed while maintaining sanitary conditions. The dispenser has a piston pump in which the piston has a permanent part and a removable end piece. The end piece is configured to contact the liquid during movement of the piston in a cylinder, but the remainder of the piston and other hardware does not contact the liquid. The end piece of the piston can thus be discarded and replaced or cleaned each time the supply of liquid is changed. The nozzle assembly is also removable and cleanable or replaceable. The nozzle assembly can be replaced with an identical one or a different nozzle assembly suitable for dispensing a different liquid. Also disclosed is a portable housing for the supply containers that has a pivotable floor panel.
