Hot Display BIN are professional heat-retaining retail display cases designed to maintain ready-to-eat baked goods, hot meals, roasted chicken pieces, fried potatoes (fries), sausages and other hot food products at the optimal serving temperature and for display in fast-casual dining outlets, grocery store hot-food sections, convenience stores at fuel stations and ready-meal retail locations. BIN-type hot display cases ensure heat retention (60–85°C) using special lamps or heating elements, and the BIN design (from the English word bin — container) is intended for products served by the piece from an open display tray — the customer or staff take the products with tongs from the hot bin. BHS offers Hot Display BIN along with a wide range of Hot Display Cases.
BHS specialists help you choose the most suitable BIN display case model. Also see BREMAR G2 display cases and GRENADA H display cases.
Hot Display BIN are a particularly effective solution for displaying and maintaining the temperature of baked and roasted products in fast-casual retail. The BIN format with open display and heat retention system ensures product accessibility and optimal temperature from early morning until the end of the trading day. A properly selected BIN display case reduces product loss and improves service speed during high demand.
