Commercial Wet Heat Bain Marie Features & Performance
- Versatile Gastronorm Well: Engineered to accept standard commercial GN depths and layouts. Configure the well with 1 x GN 1/1 pan for large-volume batch holding, 2 x GN 1/2 pans for two separate mains, or 3 x GN 1/3 pans for multiple sauces and condiments (GN pans sold separately).
- Integrated Front Drainage Tap: Unlike standard entry-level warmers that require staff to carry sloshing tanks of hot water across the kitchen, the INF-BMT features a dedicated front brass drain valve for fast, controlled draining directly into a bucket or sink.
- Gentle Wet-Heat Water Bath: Utilises indirect steam and hot water contact against the pan bases. This prevents scorching, burning, or skin formation on delicate dishes like cheese sauces, curries, custard, and gravies over long service periods.
- Twin 600W Base Heating Plates: Delivers 1.2kW of balanced heat across the entire water well, avoiding localised hot spots and ensuring all pans maintain steady temperature profiles.
- Adjustable Thermostat & Clear Indicators: Smooth rotary temperature control dial with separate power and heating indicator lights lets kitchen staff monitor heating status at a glance.
- 85°C Thermal Safety Limiter: Protects the heating base and heating elements from burnout if the water level evaporates or excessive limescale accumulates.
- Solid Stainless Steel Housing: Fabricated entirely from commercial food-grade stainless steel for high resistance to steam, food acids, and heavy utensil impact.
- Standard UK 13A Plug: Operates on standard 220–240V commercial single-phase electrics with a factory-fitted UK 13A 3-pin plug for immediate plug-and-play operation.
