VALVE FILL ASSEMBLY PUMP URN

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.

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.
