SEALED WELL PAN ASSY-PART--SO SPECS INCL

A pan is any device used as a container or a collector. A pan may refer to a shallow cooking implement used on a burner or in an oven or it may refer to a similar collecting implement used to capture water, condensation, grease, shortening, and other drainage. A pan may also be used to contain processed food items such as meat, fruit and vegetables, and crumbs as they exit a mincer, slicer, or dicer.

A mechanical seal is a device that helps join systems or mechanisms together by preventing leakage (e.g. in a pump system), maintaining temperature, containing pressure, or excluding contamination. The effectiveness of a seal is dependent on adhesion in the case of sealants and compression in the case of gaskets or o-rings.

A well pan is used in commercial foodservice equipment for hot and cold food holding. The pans may be heated simply by pouring hot water into the equipment well or similarly cooled by using ice. The pan is then immersed in the water or ice. More complex wells may be heated with gas or electric components or they may contain an internal refrigeration system.
