Cams are commonly found in foodservice equipment. A cam is a rotating or sliding piece in a mechanical linkage used especially in transforming rotary motion into linear motion. It is often a part of a rotating wheel (e.g. an eccentric wheel) or shaft (e.g. a cylinder with an irregular shape) that strikes a lever at one or more points on its circular path. 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. Chain conveyors include enclosed tracks, such as those used with continuous pizza, warming, and baking equipment. A shutoff is a device (a gate, valve, shaft, cam or breaker) designed to interrupt the flow of a solid, liquid, or a gas and in electrical components, the flow of current. Shutoffs may also be used as brakes in slowing or stopping the motion of a system or component. Shutoffs may be manually or automatically actuated in response to connected signaling or sensing systems.
