Functional Principles
Common Tank
The Common Tank functions as the central transfer channel between the dosing device and the glass. Its elevated, well-aligned placement enables a smooth, gravity-assisted outflow that supports clean dispensing and intentional layering, which improves both the appearance and perceived quality of cocktails. Hygienic operation is integral to the design: the tank is included in a dedicated cleaning regime using a high-pressure tank-cleaning nozzle, allowing frequent, thorough rinsing of internal surfaces to prevent residue build-up and cross-contamination. Mechanically, the tank is seated within the mixer’s main frame on two L-shaped brackets that are bonded to the inner walls with metal-to-metal epoxy, providing a rigid, displacement-resistant mount during operation.
Material selection and surface engineering reinforce durability and sanitation. The tank is manufactured from PP homopolymer, a food-safe, lightweight polymer with strong resistance to temperature, pressure, and moisture, making it suitable for beverage environments, including humid conditions. The interior surface is treated with a hydrophobic coating to minimize liquid adhesion, promoting complete drainage, reducing cleaning time and water use, and maintaining product purity across successive pours. Collectively, the geometry, mounting strategy, material choice, and surface finish deliver reliable fluid handling, ease of maintenance, and stable integration within the overall system architecture.
