Abstract
A valve device suitable to selectively obstruct a flexible tube, includes a first body and a second body operatively associated with each other, which are mobile with respect to each other along a sliding axis, thus configuring an open operating position and a closed operating position and thus defining a passage gap configured to be passed through by the flexible tube. The invention also concerns a machine for preparing beverages which includes a valve device and a corresponding functioning method.
