Food service area lamp ROCAM 034CRHEL2/1FLP1

A carving station that keeps plated food warm with radiant heat from two adjustable infrared lamps. The lamps emit focused infrared energy, which travels in straight lines and warms only the surfaces it strikes, so the food stays at serving temperature without drying out or overcooking. Because the heat is radiant, not convected, there is no fan to stir dust or disturb delicate garnishes. The lamps are mounted on flexible tubes, letting the operator direct the heat precisely where it is needed—over the carving board, the plated dishes, or the hot-holding area.

The sequence begins by positioning the unit on a worktop or counter. The two lamps are switched on independently, so one can be used for carving while the other keeps plated food warm. A mechanical thermostat on the warming plate sets the base temperature between +30 °C and +90 °C, and an indicator light confirms the plate is active. The acrylic glass sneezeguard shields the workspace from accidental contact without blocking the radiant heat. When service ends, the lamps are switched off and the plate allowed to cool before cleaning.

The frame is built from AISI 304 stainless steel, chosen for corrosion resistance and ease of sanitation. The lampshades are chromed metal, and the warming plate can be ordered in stainless steel, lava-effect porcelain stoneware, or oxide-effect porcelain stoneware, each in GN 1/1 size. The lamps themselves are available in white or red infrared versions.

Each control has a single purpose: the thermostat sets the plate temperature, the indicator light shows when the plate is heating, and the two switches turn the lamps on or off. The 230 V, 50 Hz supply plugs into a standard single-phase circuit, and the 1.25 kW load is light enough for most kitchen ring mains. The 22 kg weight allows the unit to be moved by one person, while the 660 mm width fits a standard GN 2/1 tray or carving board.

Cleaning follows from the materials: the stainless-steel frame and chromed lampshades wipe down with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The porcelain stoneware plate is removed and washed separately, and the acrylic sneezeguard unclips for cleaning. The infrared lamps are dusted with a dry cloth to avoid scratching the glass.

Optional accessories include a porcelain stoneware cover in either lava or oxide finish, and a red infrared lamp for alternative heat output. The unit is classified as a heating plate in the ROCAM professional catering range.
