Gaskets are used in restaurant equipment to create a seal between two surfaces, such as between the door of a refrigerator and the frame or between two pieces of metal in a gas range. The gasket helps to prevent leaks of air or liquids, as well as to maintain a consistent temperature inside the equipment. Gaskets are often made of rubber or other flexible materials that can withstand heat and cold and maintain their shape over time. They are used in a wide variety of restaurant equipment, including refrigerators, freezers, ovens, and steam tables and are also commonly used in plumbing for equipment and sinks.
A heating element converts electrical energy into heat through the process of Joule heating. Electric current through the element encounters resistance, resulting in heating of the element. This process is independent of the direction of current.
In restaurant equipment, silicone has many uses including as a sealant. In addition, as non-toxic material, silicone can be used where contact with food is required and is frequently used in kitchen utensils, oven mitts, matting and more. It's water and heat resistance allow silicone to be used in common foodservice equipment parts such as washers, o-rings, gaskets, tubing and hoses.
