Benchstar Strip Warmer Heater 1829mm - HSW1800

The Benchstar HSW1800 is the longest strip warmer in this Benchstar range at 1820 mm, for holding plated food at serving temperature across a full service window. Heavy-duty stainless steel construction, a single toggle switch, and mounting brackets with support chains supplied. At 1,750 W it runs from a standard 10 A outlet. Installation requires a minimum 40 mm gap above the unit for safe operation.

Why operators choose the HSW1800

• 1820 mm heated length — covers a full pass or buffet run in one unit instead of two shorter warmers
• 1,750 W output — the highest output in this strip warmer range, matched to the length it has to cover
• Minimum 40 mm top clearance — a stated safety requirement — plan the mounting height around it rather than discovering it on site
• Mounting brackets and support chains supplied — everything needed to hang it is in the box
• Single toggle switch — one control any staff member can operate correctly, with nothing to mis-set mid-service
• Heavy-duty stainless steel — stands up to the heat and steam directly above a pass, and cleans down easily
• Holds plated food without drying it — designed for holding rather than continuing to cook
• 9 kg over 1820 mm — light enough to suspend on the supplied brackets and chains

Specifications

Venue suitability

The HSW1800 suits cafeterias, banquet halls, buffet lines, pubs, clubs and large restaurants with a long service window. Where a 609 mm or 914 mm warmer covers a plating position, this covers the whole run.

Installation & delivery

It is suspended above the pass on the supplied brackets and support chains, and Benchstar specifies a minimum 40 mm gap above the unit for safety and performance — check the mounting position allows it before installing. It runs on a standard 240 V supply through a normal 10 A power outlet, so no dedicated circuit and no hard-wiring are needed. Confirm the structure above will carry the unit and that the 1820 mm length clears the service window at both ends. Dispatched from our Sydney HQ with partner warehouses in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth for faster delivery Australia-wide. Backed by a 12-month return-to-base warranty — the unit is returned for service rather than attended on site. See our warranty information page for full terms.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How long is the heated area on the HSW1800? A: 1820mm, the longest in this Benchstar strip warmer range.

Q: Is there an installation clearance requirement? A: Yes. Benchstar specifies a minimum 40mm gap above the unit for safety and optimal performance, so factor that into the mounting height.

Q: What is supplied for mounting it? A: Mounting brackets and support chains are included, so the unit can be suspended above the pass without a separate hardware purchase.

Q: Does it need special wiring? A: No. It runs at 1,750W through a standard 10A outlet, so no dedicated circuit or electrician is required.

Q: How does it compare with the HSW900 and HSW600? A: The HSW1800 covers 1820mm at 1,750W. The HSW900 covers 914mm at 850W and the HSW600 covers 609mm — same design, matched to shorter service windows.

Q: What warranty applies? A: Twelve months, return to base. The unit is returned for service rather than a technician attending on site — reasonable on a benchtop appliance you can transport, but worth factoring into downtime planning.
