A binary syrup system for beverage dispensing including a pair of syrup containers holding different syrup components, a metering device with two inlets connected one to each container and a single syrup outlet connected to a dispenser. The metering device includes a flow channel therethrough for each component, a diaphragm device for equalizing the pressure in each channel, and a metering orifice downstream from the diaphragm device. This pressure equalization in combination with the metering orifices provides the necessary flow control and a constant predetermined volumetric ratio of the two syrup components when mixed to form the complete syrup.

A binary syrup system for beverage dispensing from two separate containers each holding a different syrup component comprising: (a) a syrup metering device including a housing having a pair of inlet ports, a single outlet port, and a pair of separate flow channels in liquid communication with a respective one of said inlet ports; (b) movable pressure equalizing means in said flow channels for compensating for pressure differences in said flow channels and for providing an equal pressure section in each of said flow channels downstream from said pressure equalizing means; (c) a metering orifice in each of said flow channels downstream from respective ones of said equal pressure sections; (d) means for combining said flow channels into a single flow conduit for the complete syrup, said flow conduit feeding syrup to said outlet port, whereby flow of two separate syrup components can be controlled and combined into a complete syrup having a constant predetermined volumetric ratio of the two syrup components; (e) a suction pump with the suction side thereof connected to said outlet port; and (f) a beverage dispenser with a syrup conduit connected to the other side of the suction pump.
