BRUSH CLEANING ICE CHUTE

A brush is a common tool with bristles, wire or other filaments. It generally consists of a handle or block to which filaments are affixed in either a parallel or perpendicular orientation, depending on the way the brush is to be gripped during use. The material of both the block and bristles or filaments is chosen to withstand hazards of its intended use, such as corrosive chemicals, heat or abrasion.

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.

In foodservice, a cleaner may refer to a cleaning tool or a cleaning solution, powder or cleaning tablet. Cleaning tools may include brushes or scrapers. Cleaning solutions may include ice machine cleaners and powdered or spray on grease removers for grills, fryers, ovens, ranges, and more. Cleaning tablets are hardened cleaning powders that are diluted with water during an automated cleaning cycle in equipment such as dishwashers or combi ovens.
