Dishwashers | Bitron

Bitron is a leading manufacturer of a wide range of products used for dishwashers.
Applications include water control (solenoid valves and safety systems, water softeners and back-flow prevention devices), detergent and rinse-aid dispensers, switches and sensors as well as a comprehensive range of electronic main control-boards, motor drives and user interfaces.
We are available for the development of customized solutions.

Inlet, diverter and safety valves

Description

Water inlet and safety valves control the water flow into an appliance. Bitron has become the leading solenoid valve supplier to the worldwide appliance market and supplies domestic, professional and industrial markets. Typical valves for dishwashers are single outlet type.
Bitron safety valves can be single or double valves in series, as well as double hose to detect hose leakages leaving the hose water pressure relieved during off time.
Bitron motorized diverter valve is electromechanical component specially designed for dishwashers: the functions are to alternate water flow to spray arms during washing program.

Key features:

Safety valves: from 1 to 2 valves, with protective hose and nut. Electric and pneumatic actuator
Operating pressure range: from 0,02Mpa to 1Mpa
Power supply: DC or AC, from 12V to 380V
Flow regulator: from 0.25 L/min to 20 L/min
Electrical connections: Rast 2.5; Rast-5; fast-on 6.3x0.8 mm
All major approvals
Sensors: flow, temperature

Detergent dispensers

Description

Dispensers of detergent (tablets, powder or liquid) and rinse aid. Rinse aid refilling may be done through a lid or a plug. Customizable aesthetics.

Key features:

Rinse aid volume: from 100 cc to 150 cc
Rinse aid dose systems: manual setting (from 1.5 cc to 4.5 cc) or multi shot (up to 6 shots; approx 1-1.5 cc each)
Rinse aid level indication: by reed switch and floating magnet or by optical sensor
Detergent chamber capacity: approx. 50 cc
Detergent cover opening: pop-up or sliding
Electrical connections: Rast 2.5 or Rast 5 standard or individual fast-on terminals
Assembly to the dishwasher inner door: by snap fit system or by screws
Voltage supply: mains voltage and low voltage

Back flow prevention devices

Key features:

Back-flow prevention
Pipe interrupter
Check valve
Type AB air break
Heat Exchanger (drying function)
Water recovery (reducing water consumption)
Flow meter (fill water control)
Syphon for drain pump

Water softeners

Description

The water softener remove the hardness, in the form of calcium and magnesium, in the water used in a dishwasher. The inlet water hardness may be up to 90 dH°.

Key features:

A dedicated mixing valve is available for very low incoming hardness
Models are produced ranging from simple units with resin and salt tank to models which incorporated the air break and the water inlet control, either volumetric, by flow meter or by pressure sensor
We produce also models designed for resin regeneration and rinsing it in the opposite direction to the inlet flow, reducing the consumption of rinsing water and salt minimizing the risk of corrosion of the tub and cutlery
The latest models have, as options, the incorporation of an electronic system able to measure the remaining softening capability of the softener, a switching solenoid valve and an overflow sensor

Switches and sensors

Description

Bitron produces a wide range of switches and sensors for dishwashers. Special sensors can be developed according to customer requirements.

Key features:

Microswitches: low high activation force
Floaters for safety valves and other applications
Pressure switches for high and low pressures

Several types of sensors are available for:

Position detections: on different conditions and applications
Water parameters such as: flow, pressure, level, temperature, conductivity, turbidity, hardness
