A beverage dispenser as provided for use with a container having an adapter with a resealable valve, which is a ball valve, has a valve which includes an engaging mechanism, such as a pin, for mechanically opening the valve in the adapter. The dispenser valve has a handle for rotatable motion, causing the pin to vertically move in contact with the ball valve, thus opening the container so that its contents flow. The valve may also be provided with a rinse water conduit and an opening so that the user can selectively close the adapter valve and rinse the dispenser system. The pin is preferably mounted to an x-shaped support.

Dispenser valve

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.
