Abstract
A static mixing nozzle used with a dispenser system thoroughly mixes one or more liquids. The static mixing nozzle has an insert having a housing with a plurality of baffles arranged in a staggered and alternating pattern throughout the passage. The baffles cause turbulence which mixes the liquid. Static mixing nozzles with different numbers of baffles may be used in the dispenser system to accommodate the different types of concentrates and syrups which may be used. The insert is removable and may be formed in parts which can be easily separated and cleaned. The insert has a ridge with an outer diameter greater than that of the nozzle, thus allowing the insert to be manually removed.
