INTRODUCTION

Hatco Glo-Ray® Infrared Strip Heaters ensure maximum food holding and minimize the risk of food-borne illness. Optimum safety and quality is the result of food held at the proper serving temperatures using Glo-Ray’s pre-focused heat patterns. The pre-focused heat pattern prevents foods from being overcooked in the middle and cooling off around the edges by concentrating higher temperatures to the outer edges of holding surfaces where heat loss is the greatest. Utilizing specially designed reflectors to direct the heat from the element, GloRay Strip Heaters safely maintain peak serving temperatures longer without cooking the food beyond the point of excellence.

Glo-Ray Infrared Strip Heaters are available from the factory with or without shatter-resistant incandescent lights to illuminate the warming area. These bulbs have a special coating that guards against injury and food contamination in the event of breakage.

Glo-Ray Infrared Strip Heaters are a product of extensive research and field testing. The materials used were selected for maximum durability, attractive appearance, and optimum performance. Every unit is inspected and tested thoroughly prior to shipment.
