MAGNET - COVER PLATE

A cover plate is a plate used to cover or enclose a chamber or receptacle. Equipment cover plates may be simply decorative, or may serve to protect inner componentry from damage or leakage. Similarly, a cover plate may serve as a safety feature to conceal moving parts or live electrical circuits.

Magnets are found in all kinds of restaurant equipment and serve many purposes. Magnets are useful for their "stickiness" with ferrous metals. In the simplest foodservice equipment designs they are used to keep swinging doors secure on rolling service carts. Some more complex uses integrate magnets with motorized systems to provide contactless magnetic drives as seen in certain high volume blending systems.
