Ask a Question About This Product
The PIMAK M0168 is a commercial infrared chip scuttle for holding and presenting fried potato products at serving temperature. A ceramic infrared element maintains heat without drying. Single-phase 1 kW operation suits front-of-house counters and service lines in restaurants, hotels, and fast-casual operations.
Commercial Application
This unit slots into service counters where fried chips, wedges, or other potato products must remain hot and visible during order fulfilment. The stainless steel bowl holds product batches while infrared heat radiates from above. Thermostat control prevents overheating and product degradation during holding periods.
Staff dump freshly fried batches into the bowl between peak service intervals. The ceramic element maintains serving temperature without additional oil or moisture loss. Compact footprint fits tight counter layouts where front-of-house warming is required alongside order assembly stations.
