The HBM26 is a six-pan wet heat bain marie fitted with a glass sneeze guard. It maintains prepared hot food at service temperature in buffet lines, cafeterias, and front-of-house serving stations. The unit accepts six GN1/2 pans up to 100mm deep.
Commercial Application
Wet heat bain maries hold prepared dishes at temperature without drying out proteins or reducing sauce consistency. The immersed heating element maintains water temperature between 30°C and 85°C. Variable thermostat control adjusts holding temperature based on menu requirements.
The glass sneeze guard maintains hygiene standards in self-service environments while keeping food visible to guests. Staff replenish pans during service without removing the guard assembly. The 1730mm footprint accommodates six half-size gastronorm containers in a single countertop unit.
