Refrigeration, dispensing, and fluid control components play an essential role in the performance, safety, and reliability of commercial kitchen equipment. For OEMs in the food service industry, these technologies ensure precise control over temperature, flow, and motion—three pillars of consistent food quality and operational uptime.
Deltrol Controls offers a wide variety of dispensing valves, solenoid valves, linear solenoid actuators, and relays commonly used in food service equipment OEM designs.

Refrigeration Valves
Commercial refrigeration systems rely on refrigeration valves to regulate refrigerant flow, maintain stable cooling cycles, and protect compressors from pressure fluctuations. In reach ins, prep tables, under counter units, and ice machines, these valves help maintain tight temperature tolerances that keep food safe and equipment running efficiently. Their durability is critical, as kitchens demand continuous operation in high heat, high humidity environments.
Deltrol Controls refrigeration valve is compact and economical. Designed to withstand refrigerants up to 180 degrees F and operating pressures to 300 psi. Materials selected for the refrigeration valve construction include lead free brass valve body, seal options include Neoprene & Viton. Standard coil voltages include 110/120VAC & 220/240VAC.
Dispensing & Drain Valves
Fluid management is equally important in beverage dispensers, coffee machines, soft serve units, and warewashing systems. Dispensing and drain valves control the movement of water, syrups, dairy mixes, and cleaning solutions. These valves must withstand frequent cycling, caustic chemicals, and sanitation procedures while delivering smooth, leak free performance. In high volume operations, reliable dispensing directly affects product consistency and customer satisfaction.
Foods service equipment OEMs prefer Deltrol Controls dispensing valves for low pressure applications requiring high flow rates. Our media separated armature design protects critical components from corrosion and foreign debris. Common applications include beverage dispensing, tank or boiler draining, and ice maker equipment.
Solenoid Valves- Direct Acting
Many appliances depend on direct acting solenoid valves for fast, precise on/off control of liquids and gases. Because they operate without needing line pressure, they’re ideal for low pressure water systems, steam control in combi ovens, and dosing applications in beverage and condiment equipment. Deltrol Controls direct acting solenoid valves cover a wide range of foods service equipment applications. Our DSV28N series offers wet and dry armature designs, as well as our steam version. Applications include beverage dispensing, combi ovens, ice making equipment, and vending equipment.
Inlet Valves- Pilot Operated
When higher flow rates or pressure differentials are involved, pilot operated inlet valves provide efficient control for dishwashers, booster heaters, and filtration systems.
Deltrol Controls pilot-operated water inlet valves with multiple configuration options provide design flexibility for engineers. Features include multiple coil voltages, inlet/outlet port connections, and flow restrictors. Food service equipment applications include beverage, ice making, combi ovens, and vending.
Linear Solenoid Actuators
Motion control components such as linear solenoid actuators enable mechanical movement in ice makers, vending mechanisms, and portion control systems. Their ability to deliver repeatable linear force makes them ideal for ejecting, lifting, or indexing tasks within automated food service equipment.
Deltrol Controls linear solenoids are available in both AC and DC coil voltages, pull or push style. We offer D-frame, C-frame, tubular, and magnetic latching designs. Common food service applications include beverage and food dispensing, door inter-lock, and automated food preparation.
Relays
Electrical relays manage power to compressors, heating elements, pumps, and motors—ensuring safe isolation between control electronics and high voltage loads. In demanding kitchen environments, relay reliability directly influences equipment lifespan and service intervals.
Food service equipment applications often require high power switching. Deltrol Controls offers one of the most extensive power relay product lines in the industry. We also offer a complete line of general purpose, magnetic latching, buzzers, and clappers. Applications include fryers, high power ovens/toasters, heating elements, and beverage.
