PUMP OSCILLATING PISTON 110-1

A piston is a component part of reciprocating motors, reciprocating pumps, gas compressors and pneumatic cylinders, among other similar mechanisms which are widely used in restaurant equipment. The piston is the moving component that is within a cylinder and is sealed by piston rings (o-rings, gaskets, etc.). The piston within the pump compresses and ejects a gas or liquid.

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.
