Abbeychart, a supplier of components and accessories to the vending and beverage markets, has further extended its range with the introduction of its own Bottled Water Dispenser, a range of low cost but stylish cup dispensers and thermostats. The Bottled Water Dispenser
is described as a lower cost alternative to the internationally renowned Flojet unit but still offering similar features. Both are compact pumping systems that deliver water from a variety of plastic bottles under pressure to an appliance, a coffee or vending machine, a water cooler or icemaker, and almost anything else needing an easy supply of clear purifi ed water. Units have the security of automatic on/off operation, with auto shut-off when a bottle is empty or an appliance is full, while a built-in check valve prevents back fl ow into the bottle. They
will prove to be particularly useful where access to mains water is unavailable or diffi cult. The Abbey Bottled Water System
is supplied with a suction wand and hose assembly, pump module with 6ft cord and a UK or Euro plug, a 20ft discharge tube and
a universal seal cap fi tting 3, 5 and 6gal water bottles with easy change-over when one is empty. The unit is food grade approved with international certifi cation pending. The new cup dispensers are
available in two versions and in either white or black casings. They are suitable for 7oz or 9oz cups, as well as paper cone cups. The two mounting styles are a screw bracket which can be fi xed to the side of a cabinet or machine, and
a magnetic bracket. Once fi xed the dispenser will simply slide into either bracket. Following a strategic alliance with
manufacturer, Tianpeng, aimed at introducing a higher level of overheat protection to a wide range of electrical appliances, including vending and coffee machines, Abbeychart is also now able to supply the TP bi-metal over- temperature thermostat. Abbeychart is welcoming enquiries
for 1,000 units and upwards from customers in the UK and throughout Europe.
