SHROUD COVER SCREW

A screw is a type of fastener, in some ways similar to a bolt typically made of metal, and characterized by a helical ridge, known as a male thread (external thread). Screws are used to fasten materials by digging in and wedging into a material when turned, while the thread cuts grooves in the fastened material that may help pull fastened materials together and prevent pull-out.

A screw drive is a system used to turn a screw. At a minimum, it is a set of shaped cavities and protrusions on the screw head that allows torque to be applied to it. Usually, it also involves a mating tool, such as a screwdriver, that is used to turn it. Other examples include Phillips head screws and screwdrivers, and Allen hex screws and wrenches.

Shrouds are commonly used in foodservice equipment to protect sensitive components, especially electronic control boards. A shroud refers to an item that covers or protects some other object from heat, fluids, aerosolized grease, or vapor. Shrouds offer a supplemental protective feature by providing restricted access to moving parts (fan blades, belts, gears, motors) or extremely hot or cold components.
