OVEN THERMOSTAT PROBE SHIELD

There are many types of probes used in restaurant equipment for the measurement of temperature, humidity, liquid level, ice level, product or ingredient levels and other critical operating limits and control points (HACCP). A probe is a small device, especially an electrode, used for measuring, testing, or sensing and obtaining information. Probes are commonly thin and oblong, and may be flexible. They provide data output to other components to control operation of the equipment. 

Generally, a shield is a protective plate or screen on machinery or equipment. There are various types of shields used in restaurant equipment from screw and bolt shields, splash shields, splatter shields, heat shields, burner shields, radiation shields, sneeze guards, frost shields, lamp and bulb shields, drip shields, and many others.

A thermostat is a device that is used to control the temperature in restaurant equipment such as ovens, grills, fryers, and refrigeration units. The thermostat is an integrated component and is connected to a temperature sensor, which measures the temperature inside the equipment. The thermostat uses this information to control the heating or cooling elements in the equipment, turning them on or off as needed to maintain the desired temperature. This allows the equipment to operate at the optimal temperature for the specific food or beverage being prepared, ensuring that it is cooked or cooled to the proper level.
