CONVEYOR CONTROL

Controls of all kinds are integral parts of restaurant equipment operation. A control is a switch or other device by which a machine is regulated. A control may be manual or automatically operated. An electro-mechanical control typically consists of multiple relays, timers, and/or counters wired together on an enclosure panel. Electro-mechanical control is also referred to simply as "Relay Control", which is a more accurate term since solid state electronic relays, timers, and counters are standard components. Contactors, motor and compressor starters, valves, thermostats, and other output devices are used to turn on/off motors, indicator lights, heating elements, and other components used in the equipment.

A conveyor system is a common piece of mechanical handling equipment that moves materials from one location to another. Conveyors are especially useful in applications involving the transportation of heavy or bulky materials such as dishware and glassware. Conveyor systems allow quick and efficient transportation for a wide variety of materials, which make them very popular in large volume dish washing equipment. Many kinds of conveying systems are available and are used according to the various needs of different industries. Chain conveyors include enclosed tracks, such as those used with continuous pizza, warming, and baking equipment.
