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.
