Hatco fr-9 food rethermalizer/bain marie heater, electr
Food Rethermalizer/Bain Marie Heater, Electric, 9 KW
Food Rethermalizer/Bain Marie Heater, Electric, 9 KW, 1 or 3 PH
* The Hatco FR is designed to be used with a Bain-Marie or food reconstitutor, to heat or hold foods at safe temperatures between 140 F and 190 F
* The FR mounts easily to the underside of a holding vessel, leaving the entire vessel area free. Water is continually circulated to avoid any cool spots.
* The unit controls water temperature from 140 F (60 C) to 190 F (88 C).
* standard 2" plated brass plumbing fittings for mounting into a holding tank. A full-size template is supplied to properly locate fitting holes.
* Every Hatco FR is equipped with an ECO (Energy Cut-Off ) wired into the
* electrical circuit. This built-in protection breaks the power to the elements if the temperature of the water goes above the normal thermostat setting.
* FR models feature a stainless steel tank with a five-year limited warranty.
* An optional low-water cut-off is available to prevent element burn-out
* due to a low water condition.
* The Hatco FR has separate sump and heating compartment drains for cleaning and sanitizing
* FOOD RETHERMALIZING REQUIREMENTS
* NSF Standard 4 has added performance requirements for food rethermalizing. The requirements mirror
* the requirements for food rethermalizing in the FDA Food Code. The basic requirement is that food
* reaches a temperature of 165 F (74 C) in a time period of two hours or less.
* Appliances that are manufactured for the purpose of rethermalizing food will need to meet these
* performance requirements in order to be listed to NSF Standard 4.
* Hatco sells a heating unit specifically made to be used for food rethermalizing, however, the heating
* unit is designed to be incorporated into a hot water bath rethermalizer. Hatco does not supply the vessel
* that contains the water, nor the system which determines how food is placed and held in the vessel.
* The Hatco FR unit simply attaches to the bottom of the vessel and supplies hot water to the vessel.
* Hatco does supply sizing recommendations to enable the appliance manufacturer to correctly size the
* FR unit to the vessel. However, there are variables in the way that the vessel is manufactured that affect
* its ability to pass the NSF performance requirements. The Hatco FR unit is listed with NSF for
* construction only. Due to the fact that the FR is only a portion of a larger system, it is impossible to do
* performance testing until the FR unit is incorporated onto the water vessel.
* The result is that it is the responsibility of the vessel manufacturer to have the entire rethermalizing
* appliance tested and listed in accordance with NSF Standard 4. Simply hanging an NSF listed FR unit
* on the appliance does not transfer NSF listing to the entire appliance.
