OIL PLUG VACUUM PUMP

A plug is an item that (1) provides a fitted closure for an opening designed to ensure a tight seal such as for a sink or a bottle, or for a hole or a space (2) completes an electrical connection. The plug may be removable (as for portable equipment), require a tool for assembly and removal, or serve as a permanent electrical joint between two points.

Pumps are commonly used in restaurant equipment to move fluids by mechanical action. Here are just a few examples examples: 

• Pumping water in ice machines
• Pumping hot water in dishwashers
• Pumping oil in a deep fryer
• Pumping syrup or other thick liquids in a dispenser or soda fountain
• Pumping ice cream mix in a soft serve machine
• Pumping condiments such as sauces or dressings  

They can be powered electrically, pneumatically, or mechanically, depending on the specific needs of the equipment.
