Hatco FR-9B Food Rethermalizer, Bain Marie Heater, 9 KW, 240v/3ph

This Hatco FR-9B food rethermalizer heater can be mounted to a holding tank for a bain marie or food rethermalizer with its 2-inch standard plumbing fittings, providing a continuous hot water supply. The water temperature control enables adjustments from 140 to 190 degrees Fahrenheit to accommodate various heating and holding requirements as menu items change. Its submerged heating element maximizes heat transfer, while heated water circulates continuously to avoid cold spots. Once water is heated to the desired temperature, an indicator light glows to grab employee attention. If temperatures exceed the temperature setpoint, its energy cutoff mechanism shuts off the unit automatically for protection.

With its stainless steel front and hammertone silver-gray body, this Hatco FR-9B bain marie heater withstands heavy-duty use in demanding environments. This 9-inch-wide by 17 1⁄8-inch-deep by 12 1⁄4-inch-high unit is compatible with bain maries as long as 6 feet, and for proper installation, it requires a perforated water baffle that's sold separately. Incoming water containing more than 3 grains of hardness per gallon must be treated and softened before use with this heater so it doesn't affect efficiency or its operating life. As a dual-reservoir configuration, its heating and sump compartments are separate, meaning the sump—which traps and collects soil—can be plumbed to an open-sight waste drain to simplify draining, cleaning, and sanitizing.
