Data Sheet:

Beta’s unique F355 vent-after-vend series of valves is designed for high-performance vending applications. The use of an active air vent which closes when the valve is dispensing water and immediately opens when the main orifice closes allows the 355 valve to be positioned at the top of the vending machine hot water tank. By allowing air into the dispense pipe like this the flow of water into the cup is improved, filling a standard sized cup in under 2.5 seconds. The placement of the valve at the top of the tank also means that the water in the outlet pipe gathers sufficient kinetic energy as it flows downward to ensure excellent ingredients mixing either in-cup or in the mixing bowl.

The 355 series are available with a choice of two orifice sizes 8mm and 12mm. 8mm is intended for dispensing hot water direct into a cup (for tea or dehydrated ramen-style meals), the higher flow-rate for the 12mm valve is designed to suit in-cup vending machines where the high flow makes for more aggressive mixing of the ingredients. The 12mm size is also well suited to jug fill applications, the higher flow rate reducing the time spent filling the container.

All valves are subject to 100% final testing for both leak-tightness and operational voltage.

These valves can be supplied with a number of standard alternating current and direct current voltages. The solenoid coils are of high quality being automatically tested during winding and then re-tested when the final assembly of the solenoid valve is complete. Coil insulation material is class F.

All the materials in contact with the media are certified for use with food and hot water.

Applications

The primary application for this type of solenoid valve is hot drink dispensers particularly those that employ in cup mixing, but they also find use in other applications where hot water is being controlled.

Simple to clean and service, the solenoid coil is fitted with s simple bayonet fitting without disturbing the wetted parts, access to the diaphragm for replacement of cleaning can be gained simply by removing two screws. The silicone seal and polysuphone body materials are resistant to many common chemicals.
