Abstract
A method and an apparatus are proposed in order to eliminate the influence f viscosity variations in the syrup on the accuracy of metering in vending machines for the production and dispensing of still mixed drinks by considerably raising the injection pressure for the water, to eliminate the effect of the susceptibility of these syrups to spoilage by intentional aeration of the injection zone in the case of mixed drinks based on citrus syrups, and at the same time to keep the pulp particles of the citrus syrup in a desired state of suspension in the prepared mixed drink by intentional introduction of a predetermined quantity of air during the dispensing process, while avoiding foaming and clouding of the mixed drink by intentionally cutting off the introduction of air in the case of mixed drinks based on clear syrups, without the raised injection pressure having to be omitted even with these syrups.
