Dispensing machine sanitization using electro-chemically activated liquid

This invention describes a system for automatically cleaning beverage dispensing machines. It works by having two modes: a dispensing mode where a beverage concentrate flows through a valve and into the machine's components, and a sanitizing mode. When sanitizing, the beverage valve closes, and a separate valve opens to send two special cleaning solutions, produced by an electrochemical cell, through the same machine components to sanitize their inner surfaces. The claims specifically describe a method for sanitizing a beverage dispensing system.

Why it matters: The efficiency and cost-effectiveness of electrochemical cells for on-site sanitizer generation have likely improved since 2015. Advances in compact control systems also make integrating such a sanitizing method into dispensing machines more practical now.
