Hatco FR2-4B Rethermalizer w/ Electronic Temperature Monitor, 4 kW

To comply with NSF Standard 4, which requires rethermalized foods to reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit in 2 hours or less, the Hatco FR2-4B Hydro-Heater food rethermalizer heater combines free-flow technology with natural convection to heat the unit’s vessel water between 140 and 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Natural convection moves water from a holding vessel and into the heater’s flow-tube system, which is encased with heating elements to heat water efficiently before it’s recirculated back into the original vessel. Because the heating elements aren’t immersed in water, they’re less likely to become damaged from sediment and lime buildup, extending their service life.

Operators can adjust the heating elements’ temperature using the Hatco FR2-4B bain marie heater’s electronic controller. This system provides a digital temperature display, and a setpoint temperature can be programmed to minimize operational oversight. A low-water cut-off mechanism prevents the unit from heating when water levels drop unexpectedly, and the included drain enables operators to empty residue from the reservoir. For efficient heating, incoming water with more than 3 grains of hardness per gallon should be treated and softened before use with this heater. Built for use beneath a bain marie or rethermalizer, this unit measures 7.75 inches wide by 17.06 inches deep by 12.36 inches high, and it must be installed with a perforated baffle, which is not included with this unit.
