This offer ends in:
The WLB550 is a dual-lamp overhead food warmer mounted on an 800mm suspension chain. It delivers 550W of infrared heat across a 645×345mm coverage area to maintain holding temperatures for plated dishes and buffet service. Operations include hotel breakfast buffets, carving stations, and service counters where floor space is limited.
Commercial Application
Overhead suspension solves counter space constraints in high-traffic service areas. The unit maintains food at safe holding temperatures during extended service windows without occupying valuable prep or display surfaces. Inline switching allows staff to activate heating zones only when service is active.
Used during breakfast service, lunch buffets, and banquet plating stations. The 550W dual-lamp output covers approximately two full-size chafing dishes or four to six plated entrées. Ventilated aluminium reflectors direct heat downward to minimize radiant loss into the service environment.
