Roband S26RD Square Glass Hot Foodbar with Rear Roller Doors (12 x 1/2 Pan Capacity)

The Roband S26RD Square Glass Hot Foodbar with Rear Roller Doors is a premium, Australian-designed commercial food warming showcase engineered specifically for Australian bakeries, takeaway venues, canteens, cafes, service stations, and catering outlets. Sized at 2,005 mm Wide x 615 mm Deep x 750 mm High (excluding protruding drain fittings), this contemporary square-profile hot foodbar holds up to twelve 1/2 size 65 mm deep stainless steel food pans (included standard) to present and maintain cooked foods at food-safe serving temperatures.

Manufactured in Australia with a heavy-duty stainless steel chassis and tubular frame, the S26RD features a double-skin insulated water tank powered by long-lasting Dura-life stainless steel heating elements, allowing for versatile wet or dry operational modes. Outfitted with stylish overhead heat lamps housed in extruded aluminum gantries, toughened safety glass panels, rear sliding roller doors (ideal for retaining heat and crispness in fried items), an energy regulator controller, a front-mounted temperature display thermometer, and a safety-lock ball valve drain, it operates on a single-phase 240V / 15 Amp power supply (3,450 Watts) and is backed standard by a 12-Month Roband Manufacturer Warranty.

Technical Specifications

Operational & Serving Notice: Hot food display bars are designed to hold pre-heated food at serving temperatures above 60°C during short-term display periods—they are not designed to heat cold food or act as chicken humidifiers. Units are engineered to be served around rather than directly over; if configured for customer self-service, install an optional protective sneeze guard. For dry, fried foods, keeping rear roller doors closed is recommended.

Freight & Delivery Notice: Commercial glass displays require dedicated tail-lift freight transport. Please contact our friendly sales team for a custom freight quote if delivery is required for a residential or non-commercial address.

Operating & Cleaning Guidelines

1. Setup & Filling (Wet Mode): If operating in wet-well mode, add clean water to the double-skin tank up to the recommended level mark before turning on power. Connect to a dedicated single-phase 240V 15A wall socket.

2. Pre-Heating & Loading: Turn the energy regulator dial to high and allow 15 to 20 minutes for the tank and overhead lamps to reach holding temperature. Load pre-heated hot food (above 65°C) directly into the supplied 1/2 size pans, then adjust the regulator to maintain correct holding temperatures as monitored on the front thermometer.

3. Daily Cleaning & Maintenance: Switch off power and allow the unit to cool down. Place a container under the drain spout and open the safety lock ball valve to empty tank water. Remove pan cross bars and wipe down stainless steel surfaces, toughened glass, and roller door tracks using a soft microfibre cloth and a mild food-safe sanitiser.
