Common Questions About Hatco
What does Hatco make?
Hatco produces heating equipment, such as food warmers for buffet lines, toasters, dishwasher booster heaters, heat lamps, and display warmers. These products are built to hold proper temperatures efficiently for long durations without cooking the food.
Does Hatco offer warranty support?
Yes. Hatco provides warranties on most products. Check the product page or user manual for coverage details.
Are Hatco products NSF certified?
Many Hatco products are NSF listed to meet commercial food safety standards.
Why is maintaining temperature important?
Food must be held above 140 °F or below 40 °F to prevent bacterial growth. If food remains between these temperatures for too long, bacteria and pathogens can develop that can endanger customer health.
Why would I need a dishwasher booster?
While food held above 140 °F remains safe for hours, sanitizing plates requires hotter water. High-temp dishwashers must reach 180 °F to sanitize reliably. A Hatco booster heater bridges the gap between your building’s hot water supply and the higher temperature required.
