How Commercial Heated Display Cabinets with Gantries Work

Ever wondered how these clever cabinets keep food looking tempting and piping hot? It starts with heated base panels that warm from below while overhead heat lamps in the gantry direct heat downward, creating a perfect temperature envelope. Most units use adjustable thermostats to maintain temperatures between 30-90°C, with separate controls for base and gantry heating. The glass or acrylic sides trap heat while allowing customers a mouth-watering view of your offerings. Many models feature internal lighting systems to enhance food presentation, essentially creating a stage that keeps your culinary creations in the spotlight while maintaining safe serving temperatures!
