Ask a Question About This Product
The PIMAK 70SD-M173 is a tall infrared food warmer designed for holding chips, crisps, and other fried foods at service temperature. It uses ceramic infrared heating with thermostat control to maintain consistent warmth without moisture buildup. Deployed in quick-service restaurants, hotel breakfast stations, and high-volume chip shops.
Commercial Application
This unit solves the problem of fried products going cold or soggy during service. The infrared heating method keeps chips and similar foods warm without steam condensation. Operators place freshly fried batches in the stainless bowl and maintain temperature until plating.
Used during peak service hours when order volume exceeds immediate plating capacity. The thermostat-controlled heating prevents overheating while keeping product ready for immediate service. Operators can stage multiple batches without quality degradation over short hold times.
