How to Order a Hatco Strip Heater

Hatco specializes in different types of strip heaters that you can customize to suit your space. Before purchasing a strip heater first consider the physical space. Do you have an open kitchen concept where customers can see into the space (and more importantly, the pass where food is held?). Do you need a strip heater in narrow areas like buffets? How large of a space do you need uniform heat? By understanding the physical requirements of your space you'll be able to select the right equipment.

With all of Hatco's strip heaters you can safely hold temperature of your food without drying out your product or cooking it further. Hatco's Infrarerd Strip Heater can be anywhere from 18 inches to 12 feet, and works in a variety of applications. If you need to position the strip heater closer to the food, check out the Infra-Black Strip Heater from Hatco, which emits a gentle infrared heat and helps avoid burning. Conversely, if the strip heater is positioned further from the food, check out the ceramic strip heater which emits a stronger infrared heat. All of these options fit comfortably within the durable aluminum housing.

Next, consider additional options like lights or sneeze guards with your strip heater; these items are particularly important for lighting buffets and meeting food safety standards. You can also use Hatco's online tools to help determine what type of control box would work best for your unit.
