Abstract

A juice beverage dispenser employs a fixed ratio pump interposed between a source of juice concentrate and a source of water. The water drives the pump such that the water and juice concentrate outputs from the pump are presented in a fixed ratio independent of water pressure or juice concentrate viscosity. The outputs from the pump are passed to a check valve/premixer which blends the water and juice concentrate into a premixed blend for passage to a final mixer. A bypass line interconnects the source of water and the final mixer and has therein a metering valve with an adjustable orifice. By adjusting the orifice of the metering valve, the final ratio of juice concentrate and water in the final juice beverage may be established.
