Abstract
A post-mix beverage dispensing system of a small size and capacity includes a minimal number of cabinet-mounted dispensing valve assemblies to be used in combination with a larger number of syrup valve adaptor assemblies. The adaptor assemblies are attached to removable syrup containers and are removable from the cabinet-mounted valve assemblies with the containers. The adaptor assemblies include syrup outlet turbes with flow-rate orifice plates therein matched to predetermined brix values of syrup flavors. A valve actuation assembly is provided which may selectively dispense either soda water alone or a carbonated post-mix beverage.
