PREMIX

POSTMIX

The drink is pressurized before being served.

The beverage is carbonated while being reconstituted.

It is manufactured and packaged by the producer so as to be ready for consumption.

When tapped from a cask, gas (i.e. N₂, CO₂ or a N₂/CO₂ mixture,) is necessary to pressurize the liquid in the cask so it can flow from a tap mounted on the counter.

The "Postmix" system involves various equipment that reconstitutes the drink, (when drawn at the point of consumption), by mixing its main components - Water + CO₂ + Syrup.

Syrup is supplied by the producer in a metal cask or throwaway container.

Water is supplied by the water supply system and must be cooled to the correct temperature to provide optimum CO₂ solubility.
