Abstract:
A dispensing apparatus ( 20; 300; 400 ) comprises: a freezing cylinder ( 40 ); a water flowpath ( 526 ); a first controllable valve ( 130 ) along the water flowpath; a syrup flowpath ( 528 ), merging with the water flowpath and proceeding as a water/syrup flowpath ( 552 ) to the freezing cylinder; and a second controllable valve ( 132 ) along the syrup flowpath. The first controllable valve and the second controllable valve each comprise: a valve body ( 144; 432 ) having a cartridge compartment ( 164,166 ), an inlet ( 176 ) to the cartridge compartment, and an outlet ( 178 ) from the cartridge compartment; and a valve cartridge ( 162 ). The valve cartridge comprises: a cartridge body ( 200 ) mounted in the cartridge compartment; a valve element ( 222 ) carried by the cartridge body and shiftable between a first condition permitting communication between the inlet and the outlet and a second condition blocking communication between the inlet and the outlet; and a solenoid ( 224 ) carried by the cartridge body and coupled to the valve element to drive movement of the valve element.

Claim (Index 9):
The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein the controller is configured to:\n output separate pulse width modulated power to the first controllable valve and the second controllable valve.
