I can help assert some bits of it. Having been a cog in the McMachine, I've learned a bit about various suppliers and hardware and pieces of the soda fountain puzzle.

These folks supply 90% of McD's in the United States with their filtration requirements.
That then just gets fed into a (fairly mundane, actually) bag-in-box soda syrup system, just scaled up to the demands of a large fast food restaurant. The only special thing is - yes, the Coca-Cola syrup is delivered by bulk tank instead of the BIB.
The bulk tank? It's the McBulk!

Other than that it's your bone standard Cornelius fountain setup; though a bit beefier carbonator system.
Cold chilled water hops through the carbonator, then to the fountain, where it's then dispensed in the correct ratio required. Coke NORMALLY is 5:1 ratio, but the McCoke is 4.75:1.
If you wanted to somehow replicate this at home, you could, though it'd be a costly endeavor.
