Food service area lamp ROCAM 03600VU2RED

A warming plate that combines dry-heat under-shelf elements with focused infrared lamps keeps plated dishes at serving temperature without drying or overcooking. The under-shelf elements raise the stainless-steel surface to a gentle, even warmth, while the infrared lamps above concentrate radiant heat on the food itself, preserving moisture and texture. This dual system allows precise control: the base maintains a steady background temperature, and the lamps add intensity only when needed, preventing the surface from becoming too hot for direct contact.

To use the unit, place filled gastronorm trays or plated dishes on the shelf. Set the mechanical thermostat between +30 °C and +90 °C; the indicator light shows when the under-shelf elements are active. Turn the independent switch for the infrared lamps on or off as required. The lamps respond instantly, so they can be used briefly to restore warmth to dishes just before service or left on continuously for items that need sustained heat.

The construction is AISI 304 stainless steel throughout, chosen for corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning. The frame and shelf form a single welded assembly, while the two infrared lamps are mounted on a separate stand that rises above the shelf. A mechanical thermostat with a graduated dial controls the under-shelf elements, and a simple rocker switch operates the lamps.

The 1.25 kW power rating indicates the load on a standard 230 V single-phase circuit, suitable for most professional kitchen ring mains. The temperature range of +30 °C to +90 °C covers holding for hot-holding regulations and gentle reheating without reaching cooking temperatures. The 2 GN 1/1 capacity allows two full-size gastronorm trays to be held side by side, matching the output of most plating stations. The unit weighs 23 kg, light enough for one person to move with a trolley but stable on a worktop. Its footprint of 706 mm by 553 mm fits standard kitchen runs without overhang.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless-steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent after each service. The infrared lamps should be switched off and allowed to cool before cleaning; a soft brush removes dust from the reflectors. The thermostat and switches require no routine maintenance beyond checking that the dial turns smoothly and the indicator light functions.

The VULCANO 2/1 Infra is a single model; no variants are listed.
