Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022169574A1] Fluid dispensing system wherein two or more solvent reservoirs 10, 13 containing respective solvents are fluidly connected to two or more mixing channels 11. Two or more ingredient reservoirs 6 are also fluidly connected to the mixing channels 11 wherein mixing with a solvent takes place to form partial mixtures. The mixing channels 11 are in fluid communication with a mixing chamber 7 where mixing of the the partial mixtures takes place, to form the final fluid mixture, which flows to a dispenser from where it is dispensed. A controller is programmed to receive a request for a fluid mixture, and, in response control the system to: mix, in the mixing channels to form an intermediate fluid mixture, a respective predetermined amount of solvent from each of the particular solvent reservoirs and a respective predetermined amount of the ingredients from some of the ingredient reservoirs; flow, to the mixing chamber and then to the dispenser, the intermediate fluid mixture; and dispense the requested fluid mixture (including the intermediate fluid mixture) via the dispenser.
