Hatco Glo-Ray® Infrared Aluminum Strip Heaters – Heat Lamp, Strip Type
Keep every plate “just-prepared.” Hatco Glo-Ray® Infrared Aluminum Strip Heaters deliver a gentle, even halo of heat across the entire holding surface, so food stays hot, appetizing, and ready to serve—without drying, cooking further, or developing cold spots.
What is it and how does it hold food at its best?
Hatco’s Glo-Ray® aluminum strip heaters are single-phase infrared heat lamps designed to hold hot foods at safe serving temperatures. Because the prefocused heat pattern blankets the full tray, you gain the benefit of consistent warmth with no dull edges or cool corners. Moreover, the extruded aluminum housing resists sagging, while insulation minimizes heat loss to improve efficiency.
Who is it for and when does it shine?
These warmers are the best fit for restaurants, cafés, bakeries, deli lines, carving stations, and pass-through shelves. During service peaks, the reflector maintains a clean, even heat pattern; therefore, fries stay crisp, sandwiches stay melty, and entrées keep their color and moisture. For example, stage a 48" unit over a 4-pan pass rail and keep every ticket moving smoothly.
Why choose Hatco—how is it different?
Unlike generic strips, Glo-Ray® units include protective wire guards and a reflector that does not blacken, so performance stays steady over time. Additionally, factory-installed mounting tabs make installation quick and frustration-free. Consequently, you spend less time fiddling and more time serving beautiful, hot food.
