FWE HHS-IR-M Series Infrared & Radiant Heated Fried Chicken Merchandisers

The FWE HHS-IR-M Series Heated Fried Chicken Merchandisers are designed to showcase fried chicken and other crispy foods while maintaining ideal serving temperature, texture, and product quality.

Product Overview

Built for merchandising fried and crispy foods, the HHS-IR-M Series combines infrared and radiant heat to maintain consistent temperatures across each shelf while helping protect crispy texture. Tempered glass panels, vented operator-side doors, and multidirectional LED lighting provide excellent product visibility while supporting longer holding times and increased grab-and-go sales.

Key Features & Benefits

• Infrared & Radiant Heating- Infrared elements above each shelf work with radiant heated shelf bases to provide consistent, even heat and eliminate hot and cold spots.
• Independent Infrared Heat Controls- Each shelf features an individual infrared heat control, allowing operators to adjust heat output from low to high based on the products being held.
• Adjustable Radiant Heat- Radiant blanket heating elements provide adjustable temperatures from 90°F to 190°F (32°C to 88°C).
• Preserves Crispy Texture- Vented Lexan doors allow steam to escape, helping prevent sogginess and maintain the texture of fried foods.
• Maximizes Product Visibility- Tempered glass on the customer-facing and side panels provides a clear view of food from multiple angles.
• Multidirectional LED Lighting- Rugged CLED lighting helps highlight food products while providing energy savings and long-term durability.
• Low-Maintenance Design- Stainless steel construction and a no-moving-parts design eliminate components such as fans and heat-producing bulbs that can require additional maintenance.

Construction & Durability

The HHS-IR-M Series features durable stainless steel construction with 20-gauge shelves, heavy-duty posts and exterior panels, and ceramic fiber board insulation beneath the heated shelves for improved efficiency. Tempered glass panels and sliding, vented Lexan doors provide visibility, accessibility, and durability for demanding foodservice environments.
