Hatco FR2-4 Hydro-Heater Food Rethermalizer/Bain Marie Heater

 

The patented Hatco FR2 Hydro-Heater Food Rethermalizers / Bain-Marie Heaters are designed to supply temperature-controlled water to a sink mounted above the heater. Utilizing "free-flow" technology to ensure a responsive and efficient operation, the FR2 models can heat or hold foods at safe-serving temperatures between 140°F (60°C) to 190°F (88°C).

FOOD RETHERMALIZING REQUIREMENTS

NSF Standard 4 has added performance requirements for food rethermalizing. The requirements mirror the requirements for food rethermalizing in the FDA Food Code. The basic requirement is that food reaches a temperature of 165°F (74°C) in a time period of two hours or less. Appliances that are manufactured for the purpose of rethermalizing food will need to meet these performance requirements in order to be listed to NSF Standard 4. The Hatco FR2 series Hydro-Heater is specifically made to be used for food rethermalizing, however, the heating unit is designed to be incorporated into a hot water bath rethermalizer. Hatco does not supply the vessel that contains the water, nor the system which determines how food is placed and held in the vessel. The Hatco FR2 unit simply attaches to the bottom of the vessel and supplies hot water to the vessel. Hatco does supply sizing recommendations to enable the appliance manufacturer to correctly size the FR2 unit to the vessel. However, there are variables in the way that the vessel is manufactured that affect its ability to pass the NSF performance requirements. The Hatco FR2 unit is UL Classified on NSF 4 for construction only. Due to the fact that the FR2 is only a portion of a larger system, it is impossible to do performance testing until the FR2 unit is incorporated onto the water vessel. The result is that it is the responsibility of the vessel manufacturer to have the entire rethermalizing appliance tested and listed in accordance with NSF Standard 4.
