Innovative compact valve technology for precise cutting of clean patterns

At the heart of this new development is a compact coaxial solenoid valve with an integrated check valve to prevent dripping and an integrated nozzle. The extremely fast opening and closing within a few milliseconds produces a precisely metered water jet that places the cuts cleanly. The check valve prevents unwanted dripping, which ensures product quality and keeps the system clean.

Fine jet nozzle for clean cut edges

The fine jet nozzle used ensures an even, concentrated water jet. Thanks to the choice of different nozzle sizes, the jet can be optimally adapted to different types of dough and cutting requirements. The cutting depth is flexibly adjustable, offering a high degree of process control – from fine surface cuts to complete separations.

Customizable process parameters

The new development enables operation at pressures of up to 150 bar initially (on request). Depending on requirements, we can individually adjust the pressure, nozzle size, and cycle frequency to achieve optimal results with minimal water consumption.

Increased productivity in food production

The extremely short switching times of our solenoid valves enable us to increase the cycle rate of the system, which means a significant increase in productivity. Our customers can process more dough pieces in less time without compromising on cutting quality.

Conclusion:

With this new development, we are raising the bar in water jet cutting of food products. The combination of a fast-acting 2/2-way coaxial solenoid valve, a fine jet nozzle, variable pressure adjustment, and a check valve to prevent dripping enables precise, clean, and highly productive processing—ideal for modern bakeries that value consistent quality and efficient processes.

1. High dimensional accuracy of turned parts
   Our turned parts are manufactured using modern CNC (Computerized Numerical Control) turning, which enables extremely accurate and repeatable dimensions. This precision is crucial for dosing pumps and dosing valves, as even the smallest deviations in shape and dimensions can affect the flow or dosing behavior. Tightly toleranced components such as spindles, sealing surfaces and housings ensure precise control of liquids and gases.

2. Smooth surface quality
   The turning process produces very smooth surfaces that minimize friction and wear. In dosing valves and dosing pumps, this reduces energy loss and enables finer control of flow or pressure ratios. Smooth surfaces also prevent particles from sticking, which improves reliability and durability.

3. Precise fits and seals
   Turned parts enable precise fits between moving and stationary components. These tight fits are important to prevent leaks and increase the efficiency of dosing pumps and dosing valves. Good fits also help to control flow paths and tolerance chains, resulting in precise dosing.

4. Reproducibility and consistency
   CNC turning allows components to be manufactured in series with consistent quality and precision. This allows dosing pumps and dosing valves to work consistently and dose precise quantities of liquids or gases, which is particularly important in automated processes or for sensitive applications.

5. Flow optimization through precise geometries
   Precise turned parts allow the production of optimal flow channels and internal geometries that ensure a uniform and controlled flow rate. This is particularly important in dosing valves in order to achieve precise regulation of the flow, e.g. in spray valves, needle valves or throttle valves.

6. Less mechanical play
   Components with minimal mechanical play enable more precise control of the movements of pump and valve components. This ensures precise control of dosing and ensures that movements and flows are immediate and without delay.

7. Adaptation to different materials
   Turned parts can be manufactured from a variety of materials, including metals, plastics and special alloys. As a result, dosing pumps and dosing valves can be optimized for special applications, e.g. for aggressive chemicals, high pressures or temperatures.

Conclusion:
Dosing valves and dosing pumps from Bavaria Fluid Systems in Pforzheim, which consist of precisely manufactured turned parts, ensure accurate dosing, as the exact geometry, smooth surfaces and low tolerances enable fine control of the flow and pressure. This is particularly important in applications such as the automobile industry, defence, chemical industry, food processing or medical technology.

Application of fast-switching solenoid valves in ink control

• Ink flow control: Fast-switching solenoid valves are used in printing presses to precisely control the ink flow in the inking units. They regulate the amount of ink that is applied to the printing plates and ultimately to the substrate (paper or other materials).
• Color change: In modern printing presses that require frequent changes between different colors (e.g. in packaging or label production), solenoid valves enable fast and efficient color changes. This saves time and reduces ink waste.
• Precise dosing: Due to the fast switching speed of the solenoid valves, very small quantities of ink can be dosed and applied in short intervals, resulting in uniform and high-quality ink distribution.
• Automation and process integration: Fast-switching solenoid valves can be seamlessly integrated into automated printing systems, allowing ink application to be digitally controlled and monitored. This is particularly important for high-speed printing processes and large print runs.

Advantages of fast-switching coaxial solenoid valves in paint control

• Precise control of the ink quantity: Fast-switching solenoid valves enable extremely precise control of the ink quantity used for printing. This results in consistent print quality and avoids fluctuations in color intensity or distribution.
• Faster production times: With the ability to switch quickly and efficiently, solenoid valves allow for speedy color changes and faster adjustment of ink flow. This reduces downtime and increases press productivity.
• Reduced ink consumption: As dosing is very precise, only the required amount of ink is applied. This reduces ink consumption and waste, which offers both economic and ecological benefits.
• Consistent print quality: The fast response time of the valves ensures that the ink is always applied at the right moment. This leads to an even distribution of the ink on the print material, which is particularly important for high-speed printing.
• Simplified colour change: Solenoid valves make it easier to switch between different colors by precisely controlling the ink flow and minimizing contamination between colors. This saves time and increases efficiency, especially in multicolor printing processes.
• Longer press life: Precise control and reduction of ink consumption reduces wear on the mechanical components of the press, extending its life and reducing maintenance costs.
• Compact design: Coaxial solenoid valves (also known as inline valves) have a very compact design and require little installation space. They are therefore easy to integrate into systems.
• Low maintenance and easy to clean: Due to their simple design with clear flow guidance, BFS coaxial solenoid valves require little maintenance and can be easily cleaned in the general flushing process.

Summary

Fast-switching coaxial solenoid valves in the color control of printing presses offer decisive advantages such as precise color control, faster color changes, increased productivity and consistently high print quality. They help to increase efficiency and reduce costs in modern printing processes, especially in highly automated and color-intensive printing environments.

It is therefore no coincidence that our most important customer among the welding equipment manufacturers also lists us as an A-grade supplier. The criteria for this are strict. The evaluation includes technical quality and on-time delivery.

As an additional service, we also offer all our customers, in cooperation with their product developers, the adaptation of their desired valve to specific requirements, such as the modification of connections or the combination of various fluidic functions in a time- and cost-saving solenoid valve block.

Assembly time is precious. Thanks to their very short switching times < 2 milliseconds for gases, our coaxial quick-acting valves minimize production times during spot welding and stud welding with shielding gas.

Natural gas engines have neither lubrication nor cooling with liquid fuel. To ensure that the natural gas engine does not break, an additive as a lubricant must also be injected into the intake air. The quantity and number of cycles depend on the engine speed. The engine electronics supply the corresponding signal and the control electronics on the board clock the BFS oscillating piston pump and BFS inline solenoid valves so that the engine is always adequately supplied with lubricant. The Electronic Valve-Protector was developed some years ago together with SI-Elektronik GmbH in Maintal, Germany and is now very popular with thousands of drivers across Europe. The complete modification kit is available from SI-Elektronik GmbH in Maintal.

Whether deep-drawing sheets, donats or sweets – the demands of our customers on modern coating systems are constantly growing. In the last century it was still common practice to oil deep-drawing sheets for car body parts completely for example and to wash them off completely after the deep-drawing process. What a waste!

Our modern electronically controlled BFS spray valves precisely dose the required quantities of water, oil or even spirits. With the corresponding nozzles, a variety of spray patterns can be generated. This makes it possible today to coat precisely defined areas in a short time and to distribute the spray mist efficiently.

This means that only those surfaces of deep-drawing sheets are wetted with oil that really slide on the tool. All other surfaces remain untreated. As a result, less oil is required and the cleaning time of the sheets is reduced. This saves money and primary materials. In addition, the environment is relieved.

Whether individual valves, valve blocks or complete spray systems – from the pump to the nozzle, we work closely with our customers as always to find the best solutions for them.

Post-mix dispensers are offered to customers in various lengths as needed. Due to its modular design, the BFS solenoid valve block can be quickly adapted in length and in the number of its connections of the respective postmix dispensing system by adding or removing modules.

In addition there is the internal cooling: Drinks like juices or lemonades are often drunk cold. Therefore, these drinks are cooled up to the tap. Our modular built-in solenoid valve block with internal cooling helps to maintain the cold chain, so that the guest does not have to give up his cold drink even in hot summer. The trick here: For the internal cooling ice-cold soda water is used. This saves a separate cooling circuit.

The beverages are dosed by our fast-switching BFS solenoid valves of the BMV6 series. Electronically controlled, a variety of mixed drinks can be served in exact mixing ratios at the touch of a button.

Together with our customers, we therefore developed a solenoid valve block for dispensing systems used at major events with our fast-acting (2 milliseconds) and flow-optimized BFS solenoid valves.

The challenge with high-speed beer serving is that the beer may only form its beautiful head of foam when bottling. But nevertheless the serving should take place as fast as possible. Therefore, the beer flows in 3 phases into the glass. In the first phase, the beer initially flows slowly into the beer glass. In the second phase, it flows very fast and in the third phase, only the foaming occurs. The beer flow is controlled by our solenoid valves as needed. And of course, our inline solenoid valves installed here are also hygienically clean, means free of dead space and self-cleaning.
