REX manual metering valve
About the product
The REX manual dispensing valve is designed for precise portioning of liquid, viscous, and pasty food products. The device connects to the REX vacuum filler via a 2-meter hose, and the operator initiates portioning by pressing a button on the valve. Pneumatic control and interchangeable dispensing nozzles allow the device to be used with a variety of products, ensuring precise, drip-free dispensing.

Manual Precise Dosing
The valve opens pneumatically when the operator presses a button on the handle. Simultaneously, the vacuum filler starts the preset portioning cycle.
This allows the operator to independently select the moment of product delivery, while the portion volume is controlled by the REX vacuum filler system.
Working with products of various consistencies
The dosing valve is designed for a wide range of food masses - From thin to viscous products.
The catalog clearly states its use for:
- pates;
- sauces;
- soups and sugo;
- creams and ice cream;
- sandwich spreads;
- minced meat.
The manufacturer's modern website additionally characterizes the device as suitable for liquid, pasty, and products containing inclusions.
High portion accuracy
Dosing is performed in conjunction with the REX vacuum syringe, which allows for obtaining portions of a given mass.
Various outlet nozzles help adapt the valve to a specific product and process task. The design is designed to complete the delivery without unwanted product leakage.
Quick connection
The dosing mass is supplied to the manual valve through a 2 m long hose.
The electrical connection is made via a vacuum syringe, so a separate power supply unit for the valve is not required.
Pneumatic control
According to the technical table of the catalog:
- Drive type - pneumatic;
- Working pressure - 4-6 bar.
Performance
The original catalog does not specify a specific operating speed. The current official REX website states for the manual dosing device:
- Serving size: from 5 g;
- Performance: up to 60 cycles/min.
Actual speed depends on product, portion size, and operator input.
Ergonomic Operation
As an option, the valve can be equipped with a spring balancer, which supports the device from above and reduces the strain on the operator's hand during prolonged operation.
Interchangeable Dispenser Nozzles
The standard technical data sheet specifies a 20 mm outlet, but various nozzle options are available to adapt the dispenser to a specific product.
Spring Balancer
Optionally suspends the valve above the work area and reduces operator strain.
REX Vacuum Filler
Used as the primary dosing device: it sets the portion volume, dispenses the product through the hose, and provides electrical connection for the manual valve.
