Heat Unit
$20.00
FOR TRANSPORTERS AND ALL THERMAL BAGS
Helps maintain food temperatures above 140° for up to FOUR hours.
Keeps food hot without cooking away nutrients, texture or taste.
Our heat & cooling units can add extra hours of temperature control to your program’s meal delivery routes.
✓ Units take up little space but add longer temperature retention per compartment in our Meal Transporters and any thermal bag, especially our High Efficiency Thermal Bags!
✓ Works best standing upright in whatever carrier you use, distributing heat to the air envelope around your meals so less heat is lost from food to the air space.
✓ Weigh less than a pound, and do not displace a meal when standing upright…as they are most effective!
HOW IT WORKS
Unlike microwave packs that are simply water-based silica gels in a vinyl wrapped sponge where the heat falls off as fast as water, or heavy and bulky heat stones that can burn people and equipment, the Heat Unit’s unique internal material radiates heat at a steady temperature. As with ice to water and vice versa at 32F, the Heat Unit’s dynamic material changes state at 154F. So boil it at 212F, take it out of the water with tongs and dry it off….it will radiate 154 for 3-4 hours depending on ambient conditions and so importantly: won’t burn staff or volunteer hands or equipment!
Place any heating device standing upright next to your meals…the heat warms the air space around your meals, slowing temperature loss.

Heat Unit: The Best Heat Packs for Food Temperature Control
For 50 years our Heat Unit, has been a reliable and flexible solution for maintaining food temperatures with as an innovative heat pack for food. Designed for our transporters, ours or any other thermal bags, even hard carriers like Yeti, Igloo or Coleman, this heating pack helps keep food hot for up to FOUR hours. It reintroduces heat to the air envelope as it’s lost over time and with every delivery that opens your carrier. These heat packs support your focus on every meal arriving at the optimal temperature.
Unlike traditional heating methods that can compromise the nutrients, texture, and taste of your meals, our Heat Unit provides a reliable and efficient way to maintain warmth without any degradation of quality. Our heat and cooling units are engineered to enhance your meal delivery programs by providing extra hours of temperature control. One of the standout features of the Heat Unit and Colling unit together is that its design can work in conjunction with our two-compartment meal transporter and other hard sided carriers, allowing you to cool one compartment while heating the other. This versatility makes it an essential tool for anyone needing to transport both hot and cold items in the same carrier.
So, how does this heating pack work? Unlike regular microwave packs made of water-based silica gels that lose heat quickly, our Heat Unit utilizes a unique internal material that radiates heat at a consistent temperature. Energized by a molecular change of state process similar to the transition of ice to water at 32°F, the heat unit material changes state at 154°F. After boiling it at 212°F, simply remove it with tongs, dry it off, and it will radiate a steady 154°F for 3-4 hours, depending on the surrounding conditions—and, unlike heat stones and tiles, without the risk of burns to hands or equipment.
Measuring 6″ x 6-3/4″ x 1″, and weighing less than 1 lb, this reusable heat pack is made from durable plastic and proudly manufactured in the USA. With the Heat Unit, you can confidently keep food hot and delicious, ensuring that your meals are always ready to enjoy.
