CHUTE DOOR

Chutes are common in foodservice equipment. A chute is a vertical or inclined plane, channel, duct or passage through which ingredients move by gravity. An example may be coffee beans stored in the bean hopper of an espresso machine that move under gravity to a grinder via a chute. Chutes are also commonly used with grilling equipment to channel grease away from the cooking surface, and to move ice to remote dispensers under the force of a motorized auger.

Doors are common in restaurant equipment design from refrigerators and freezers, to ovens to ice machines. A door is a hinged or otherwise movable panel that allows access to an enclosure, cabinet, bin, or other cavity or container.  A door assembly comprises the components that work in tandem to allow the door to function properly such as the door set, strike, catch and lock set. Doors may be hinged and swing open and closed, or they may slide within a frame. Very frequently, restaurant equipment doors feature tempered glass windows which allow for visual inspection or merchandising of food and beverage products.
