The installation comprises a static mixer (1) connected to receive yoghurt from a yoghurt store (4) and a flavoring from a selected flavoring store (8 to 10). The amount of yoghurt and flavoring dispensed is measured by appropriate metering pumps (11 to 14). The static mixer has a bottom outlet (1a) under which a beaker (20) is placed to receive a portion of flavored yoghurt. The beaker stands over a waste funnel (19) to catch drips and spills. A wash tank (22) is provided together with various feeds for rinsing and/or cleaning materials (27 to 28). The wash tank is connected via a pump (33) and a duct (31) to a spray head (34) in the yoghurt store (4). A thorough automatic rinse-wash-rinse cycle can be performed, whenever necessary. The rinse cycles are preferable open circuit cycles, and the wash cycle is preferably a closed circuit cycle. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention provides an installation for automatically dispensing, on request, individual portions of drinking yoghurt in selected flavors, said installation comprising a store of liquid yoghurt and inlets for flavorings, a static free flow mixer having feed inlets individually connected to the yoghurt store and to the flavoring inlets via respective feed ducts fitted with remotely controllable means to cause a portion of yoghurt to flow from the yoghurt store to the mixer and to cause a portion of a selected flavoring to flow from the corresponding flavoring inlet to the mixer, means for supporting a beaker in a position in which it can receive the mixture leaving the mixer, and a device for cleaning the installation, the mixer comprising a body which defines an inside chamber having a central vertical feed duct terminating therein and connected to the yoghurt store and sloping inlet ducts angularly disposed around the central duct and connected to respective ones of the flavoring inlets, the wall of the chamber or deflectors placed inside the chamber ensuring that the fluid flows therein cross one another, and the mixer chamber having a plurality of sloping outlet orifices or ducts distributed to prevent the incident yoghurt or the incident flavoring from penetrating directly into one of said outlet orifices, and the device for cleaning the installation comprising a wash tank and means for feeding said tank in controlled manner with rinsing and/or cleaning materials, said tank being provided with an outlet connected to a duct which opens out in the yoghurt store and which includes means for causing fluid to flow from the tank to the yoghurt store, said tank further including an inlet fed from the outlet of the mixer, and the installation finally including means for connecting the tank to waste disposal means.
Cleaning generally comprises the following cycle: the circuits are open cycle water rinsed, i.
e.
they are rinsed with water that is lost down the drain; closed cycle hot washing using a cleaning fluid; and open cycle water rinsing
