International Classification:

B67D 556

US Classification:

222145

Abstract:

A nozzle, preferably a multiflavor nozzle, for a postmix beverage dispenser and a method for dispensing including a nozzle body, a water passageway and one or a plurality of separate syrup passageways therethrough, wherein the water passageway includes a water inlet chamber, a plurality of small holes leading into a water stream shaping passageway which includes a first, radially extending annular chamber leading into a second axially extending annular chamber and then to an annular exit port to produce an even, uniform, hollow cylindrical stream of water surrounding a syrup stream. The CO. sub. 2 comes out of solution in the water passageway to prevent foaming and no mixing occurs in the nozzle to prevent flavor carry-over, while providing high carbonation retention and minimizing brix stratification.
