Abstract
A beverage dispenser for dispensing a beverage syrup or concentrate and a mixing liquid at a specified ratio has an ice bin which is divided into a front section and a rear section. A cold plate is located at the bottom of the front section. Either or both the mixing liquid or the beverage syrup or concentrate is circuitously routed through the cold plate prior to being dispensed. Portions of the rear section are partitioned off from the front section in order to reduce the total overall capacity of the ice bin. The partitioning of the rear section is accomplished by using shields which are located by flanges. The flanges extend inward from the walls of the ice bin into the front or rear sections of the ice bin.
