Refrigerated Drink Dispensers

A refrigerated drink dispenser is a commercial-grade appliance designed to store and dispense chilled beverages such as juice, iced tea, or lemonade. It typically consists of a refrigeration unit to keep the drinks cold, a storage tank to hold the liquid, and a dispensing system to serve the beverages. This is different to a slushy machine which is the freezer equivalent and keeps drinks in a more frozen, slushy-like state.

The refrigeration unit of the drink dispenser works by cooling the liquid inside the storage tank to the desired temperature. This is done using a compressor that circulates a refrigerant fluid through the system, absorbing heat from the drink and expelling it outside the machine. There is also usually a built-in stirrer which circulates the beverages.

When a customer wants to dispense a drink, they simply press a button or pull a lever to release the chilled beverage from the storage tank. The dispensing system often includes a spigot or nozzle for easy pouring into cups or glasses.

The typical capacity of a refrigerated drink dispenser can vary depending on the model and brand. However, a standard size for a single refrigerated drink dispenser like the Polar Single Bowl Model is usually around 12L. Some larger models like the Anvil double bowl has a total capacity of 24L and the FED Triple Bowl Dispenser has 36L total capacity.
