Cooking Appliances

Bitron is a leading manufacturer of a wide range of products used for the manufacture of domestic and professional cooking appliances.
Applications include water control (solenoid valves and safety systems), doorlocks, switches, induction coils as well as a comprehensive
range of electronic main control-boards and user interfaces.

 

Inlet & safety Valves

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 washing machine are multiple 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.
