VALVE DOLE PB PORTION CO

Portion controls are specifically designed into commercial foodservice equipment to ensure precise dispensing of ingredients, products, and condiments. Portion control is an important practice within the restaurant industry and is used to maintain proper taste profiles and contain food cost.

Valves are widely used in different restaurant equipment designs. A valve is a device that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, steam, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. In an open valve, fluid flows in a direction from higher pressure to lower pressure. 

Valves may be operated manually, either by a handle, lever, pedal or wheel. Valves may also be automatic, driven by changes in pressure, temperature, or flow, allowing control over a variety of operational requirements.
