Restrictor Grids

The grid restrictor is similar to the drip washer however it is dropped from the top of the lip funnel and rests on the inside diameter of the lip. The grid adds more surface area for product to build up and minimize or eliminate drip. The grid restrictor is customized per each application but typically consists of interlocking grids, lines or stainless steel that are used to hold back the product while creating additional back pressure. The grid restrictor does not have to be rigid, oftentimes the grid restrictor can be made with string or wire and be called a “monofilament nozzle.”
