Vending

Individual system solutions for vending machines. The dosage has to be right for the best quality!

Vending – beverage vending machines and coffee machines

Vending machines that deliver refreshing cold drinks, fragrant coffee creations or a hot broth at the touch of a button are becoming increasingly popular, not only for snacks in businesses and offices, but also in schools, universities, museums, gas stations, supermarkets and public places. In order to ensure the customer’s satisfaction, the dosage has to be correct. In addition, the technology has to work reliably and the design of the machines must be appealing. At the same time, there are more and more different flavours to serve.

Solenoid valves for fully automatic coffee machines: Easy installation and speedy maintenance

In close cooperation with leading manufacturers of fully automatic coffee machines, Bürkert has developed its new series of solenoid valves. From the outset, the new development focused on optimising the life cycle and serviceability of the fully automatic coffee machines as well as the valves themselves. It was important, therefore, that the insights of machine manufacturers around the installation, operation, and servicing were incorporated into the development of the new solenoid valves. That’s why, in addition to technical specifications, special attention was given to ensuring easy installation and safe maintenance during operation. The new valve series is set apart by its forward-thinking service concept.

Standard valve and system solutions for beverage vending machines

Thanks to decades of experience and extensive application know-how, Bürkert can offer market-driven solutions for this purpose – from standard valves to complete system solutions for sophisticated hot or cold mixed drinks. The most subtle aroma gradations can be dosed just as precisely as larger quantities. Based on standard components, different functions can be realised, regardless of whether automatic dosing is required for steam or automatic mixing for liquids.

Certified, easy to clean and compact

Vending machines for drinks, coffee, broth or other food not only place high demands on function, but also on hygiene. The various valves or valve blocks are therefore certified in accordance with regulations on drinking water, beverages and food. Its design with minimal dead space reduces adhesion and allows for easy cleaning. In addition, practical mounting options and compact dimensions are provided. As a result, vending system solutions from Bürkert can be easily integrated into the machines, even if there is not much free space.
