Chutes are common in foodservice equipment. A chute is a vertical or inclined plane, channel, duct or passage through which ingredients move by gravity. An example may be coffee beans stored in the bean hopper of an espresso machine that move under gravity to a grinder via a chute. Chutes are also commonly used with grilling equipment to channel grease away from the cooking surface and to move ice to remote dispensers under the force of a motorized auger. A gasket is a mechanical seal which fills the space between two or more mating surfaces, generally to prevent leakage from or into the joined objects while under compression. Ring gaskets are used with plumbing fixtures to create tight seals in plumbing repair, maintenance or installation jobs. Sheet gaskets are used to create custom gaskets. Camandgroove gaskets provide a tight seal between couplings in lowpressure fluid applications such as regulators and pumps. Sanitary gaskets are used in piping systems for the food and beverage industry. Specifications. Height 1 in.. Width 4.15 in.. Length 2.15 in.
