Abstract (en)
A dispensing device (10) for a beverage component dispensing machine comprises a solenoid operated valve (20) in which the valve-open position of the valve is defined by an equilibrium condition of the solenoid (22) with its armature, acting against a return spring (44), whereby solenoid generated noise in the valve-open condition is reduced. The solenoid armature (34) is position-adjustable with respect to the valve member to vary the valve opening. The armature and the valve member are supported in the valve open condition in the manner of a pendulum through the return spring which is adjustably connected to the valve, whereby the valve-open equilibrium position of the armature is laterally as well as vertically balanced.
