Abstract
Disclosed is a compact system, apparatus for beverage preservation and dispensation. The system and apparatus may include a seal for attachment to a beverage container; at least a first conduit and a second conduit arranged to provide filtered air and extract beverage from the beverage container. There is a pump assembly connected to the first conduit and the second conduit to regulate air flow into and/or out of the beverage container to achieve a sub-atmospheric pressure or a super-atmospheric pressure within the beverage container.
Claims20
A system for beverage preservation and dispensation comprising:
- a seal for attachment to a beverage container, the seal having a first channel, a second channel and a third channel to receive a first conduit, a second conduit and a third conduit respectively;
- a pump assembly configured to direct air through the first conduit;
- and
- a first filter module arranged in fluid contact or communication with the air to be passed through the first conduit into the beverage container during beverage preservation,
- the second conduit arranged to urge beverage toward a dispensing mechanism for dispensation when the beverage in the beverage container is subject to a pressure, and
- wherein the third conduit is connected to a valve for extraction of air from the beverage container via the pump assembly and the pump assembly is configured to redirect the extracted air to the first conduit.
