Valves play a crucial role in the functionality of various restaurant equipment designs.
These devices are responsible for regulating, directing, or controlling the flow of fluids such as gases, steam, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries by either opening, closing, or partially obstructing different passageways.
When a valve is open, the fluid moves from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure.
These valves can be manually operated using a handle, lever, pedal, or wheel.
Alternatively, they can also be automatic, responding to changes in pressure, temperature, or flow to provide precise control over a wide range of operational needs.
