A concentrate supply assembly for a post-mix beverage dispenser includes a plurality of containers 10-1,10-2,10-3 for concentrate with discharge openings through which concentrate may flow. A plurality of conduits CN-1, CN-2, CN-3 are coupled to the discharge openings and are in fluid communication with concentrate disposed within the containers.A multi-channel linear pump 10 is provided with a pump body or bodies, including bores 24, 25 disposed within the pump bodies, pistons 22, 23 operatively mounted within the bores for reciprocation and piston shafts 26,27 connected to the pistons. An A.C. synchronous motor 40 is connected to the piston shafts for imparting constant-speed reciprocal motion to the piston shafts and to the pistons disposed within the bores. Inlet ports 81A, 81B are in fluid communication with the conduits and bores for supplying concentrate thereto during a reciprocal motion of the pistons in a first direction. Outlet ports 82A, 82B are in fluid communication with the bores for discharging concentrate from the bores during a reciprocal motion of the pistons in a reverse direction. A ball joint 220 connection is provided between the piston shafts and the motor for enabling accurate positioning of the piston connected to the piston shaft within the bore. |
