Automated flowable material dispensers and related methods for dispensing flowable material

A dispensing system comprising:

• a roll of sheet product;
• a sheet product holder comprising a spindle configured to support the roll of sheet product thereon;
• a pressurized flowable material container comprising a flowable material contained therein;
• and
• an automated flowable material dispenser for dispensing the flowable material from the pressurized flowable material container, the dispenser comprising:
• a dispenser housing configured to receive the pressurized flowable material container therein, the dispenser housing defining a dispensing opening along a bottom end of the dispenser housing;
• a solenoid valve assembly positioned within the dispenser housing and configured to control dispensing of the flowable material from the pressurized flowable material container;
• and
• a biasing member configured to bias the pressurized flowable material container toward the solenoid valve assembly and to move the pressurized flowable material container from an unactuated configuration to an actuated configuration.

An automated flowable material dispensing system for dispensing flowable material, the system comprising:

• an automated flowable material dispenser comprising:
• a dispenser housing defining a dispensing opening along a bottom end of the dispenser housing, the dispenser housing configured to move between an open configuration and a closed configuration, wherein the dispenser housing comprises a top cover configured to pivot about a hinge to move the dispenser housing between the open configuration and the closed configuration;
• a solenoid valve assembly positioned within the dispenser housing above the dispensing opening;
• and
• a biasing member;
• and
• a flowable material container removably positioned within the dispenser housing and containing the flowable material therein;
• wherein the biasing member is configured to bias the flowable material container toward the solenoid valve assembly and to move the flowable material container from an unactuated configuration to an actuated configuration, wherein the biasing member is attached to the top cover;
• and
• wherein the solenoid valve assembly is configured to control dispensing of the flowable material from the dispenser.
