This offer ends in:
The HDS5 is a 1536mm pass-through heated display warmer for grilled and fried chicken in high-volume front-of-house service. It uses dual-zone temperature control: dry heat upper tier for crispy items, humidified lower tier for moist products. Operated by counter staff in rotisserie shops, quick-service restaurants, and hotel buffet lines.
Commercial Application
This unit sits behind the front counter in pass-through configuration. Staff load from the back. Customers view through angled thermoplastic flip doors. The dual-zone layout lets operators hold both fried chicken (dry heat, top tier) and braised or steamed items (humidified heat, bottom tier) without flavour crossover or texture degradation.
During peak service hours the 4080W heating capacity maintains safe holding temperatures across both chambers. Individual zone controls let staff adjust heat and humidity independently. Automatic water refill via level sensor keeps the lower chamber humidified without manual topping. Digital thermostats display real-time temperature in each zone.
