An improved bulk storage system for fluids supplied to a dispensing system by a fluid line. The bulk storage system includes a receptacle with a first portal and a second portal. A substantially nonpermeable bag is positioned within the receptacle for storing and dispensing fluids therefrom. The bag includes a first passageway positioned adjacent to the first portal of the receptacle and a second passageway positioned adjacent to the second portal of the receptacle. A support device is positioned adjacent to the receptacle. The first passageway of the bag is attached to the support device and the second passageway of the bag is attached to the fluid line such that fluids in the bag flow through the second passageway to the dispensing system.

Bulk fountain syrup delivery and storage system

A collapsible bag for use in containing and dispensing a liquid, such as in a bag-in-box arrangement, and a method for making the bag, wherein an elongated reinforcing strip is attached to the outside surface of the inner bag layer of one of the bag walls and extends from adjacent to the spout to remote therefrom, and a plurality of grooves are provided in the strip and also in the portion of the inner bag layer of the bag wall attached to the reinforcing strip, thus providing liquid passageways inside of the bag to achieve complete withdrawal of the liquid from the bag as the bag collapses, without the expense and complication of having to insert a separate dipstrip member into the bag and to connect it to the spout.
