Abstract

A method and apparatus (12) for dispensing a fluent material (F) such as a beverage. The fluent material is dispensed directly from a flexible bag (16, 100) to a container without any intervening structure which contacts the fluent material. Accordingly, the apparatus can be constructed of less expensive materials and does not require frequent cleaning. The apparatus has particular application where aseptic conditions need to be maintained such as in the packaging of the food and medicine. A flow control (18, 132) is adapted to receive at least a portion of one flexible bag and to deform the bag to produce flow of fluent material out of the bag without contact of the fluent material by the flow control.
