Benchstar Strip Warmer Heater 914mm - HSW900

The Benchstar HSW900 is a 914 mm overhead strip warmer for holding plated food at serving temperature on the pass. Heavy-duty stainless steel construction, a single toggle switch for operation, and mounting brackets with support chains supplied for installation. At 850 W it runs from a standard 10 A outlet and weighs 3.5 kg, so it mounts over an existing pass without structural work.

Why operators choose the HSW900

• 914 mm heated length — covers a full plating run rather than a single plate position
• Mounting brackets and support chains supplied — everything needed to hang it is in the box, rather than a separate hardware purchase
• 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 at safe serving temperature — keeps dishes hot between plating and pickup without continuing to cook them
• Maintains temperature without drying food out — designed for holding rather than blasting, so plated food does not dry at the edges
• Runs from a standard 10 A outlet — 850 W through a normal single-phase socket, so no electrical work is needed
• 3.5 kg at 914 mm — light enough to mount above an existing pass on the supplied brackets and chains

Specifications

Venue suitability

The HSW900 suits cafes, restaurants, pubs, clubs, banquet halls and buffet lines holding plated dishes between the kitchen and the pass. At 914 mm it covers a longer run than the 609 mm HSW600, which suits a wider service window.

Installation & delivery

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. It is designed to be suspended above the pass on the supplied brackets and support chains — confirm the mounting surface above will carry it and that the 914 mm length clears the service window at both ends. Site it high enough for staff to work under comfortably. 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 HSW900? A: 914mm, which covers a full plating run rather than a single plate position.

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 850W through a standard 10A outlet, so no dedicated circuit or electrician is required.

Q: Will it dry out plated food? A: It is designed to hold plated food at a safe serving temperature without drying it out, rather than to continue cooking it. Holding times should still follow your venue's food-safety practice.

Q: How does it compare with the HSW600? A: The HSW900 covers a 914mm run. The HSW600 is the shorter 609mm version of the same strip warmer, for a narrower service window.

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.
