Abstract

A juice mixing nozzle, which provides for the mixing of juice concentrate with water, includes a head which receives a manifold, a diffuser, and a cap to enclose the head. A supply of water, concentrate and air are directed through the cap and manifold into a mixing area where the water velocity is greatly increased to provide a 'slicing' action to cut the concentrate and blend it with the water to make juice. After mixing, the juice is deflected by the diffuser to reduce the velocity thereof. The head also has a collection area to further reduce the velocity of the juice and minimize the splashing of the juice as it exits the head. The unique mixing action provided by the juice mixing nozzle allows for a mixing ratio of about five parts water to about one part concentrate.
