Abstract

See full text

There is disclosed a syrup delivery system for carbonated beverages which provides delivery of beverage syrup from a syrup container to a beverage mixer. The syrup delivery system comprises a source of pressurized gas, conveniently the CO.sub.2 gas source which is also used to carbonate the water used to mix the carbonated beverage, and a syrup container. The syrup container comprises a rigid drum having an opening with a closure and a pressurizing fitting for connection to the source of presurized gas. A collapsible bag for holding the syrup is fitted inside of the rigid drum and is connected by means of a double ended connector through the closure to the beverage mixer. In operation, the CO.sub.2 pressurized gas is introduced into the rigid tank between the inside of the tank and the outside of the collapsible bag thereby forcing the syrup out of the bag and to the beverage mixer at a constant pressure. Because the closure is a standard size to fit existing small and large syrup containers, the syrup deliver system can be retrofitted into existing bulk on-premises syrup containers as well as retrofitted into smaller existing syrup containers. In both cases, the need to clean and sanitize the syrup containers is eliminated.
