Product Description
Overview
The Carter-Hoffmann CW1 Bulk Nacho Chip Warmer is a purpose-built solution for busy concession stands, quick-serve restaurants, and any new restaurant focused on speed to service. Designed to hold approximately 20 gallons of chips in a top-loading, gravity-feed bin, the CW1 uses a forced-air heating system and inconel-sheathed heating element to maintain chip temperature and crispness without drying or burning. As part of your kitchen buildout, the CW1 is a compact, dependable unit that helps you reduce food waste and speed service — critical advantages when you're racing to open and start earning revenue.
Key Features
- 20-Gallon Capacity: Bulk holding for high-volume service, reducing refill frequency and labor during peak hours.
- Forced-Air Heating System: Even, gentle warming that preserves chip texture and flavor for consistent menu quality.
- Inconel-Sheathed Heating Element: Durable, long-lasting element engineered for heavy use and reliable performance.
- Gravity Feed & First-In First-Out: Top-loading design with gravity-fed dispense ensures older product is used first, cutting waste and simplifying rotation.
- Stainless Steel Construction: Easy to clean, corrosion resistant, and built for the rigors of a commercial kitchen.
- Bottom-Hinged Service Door & 4" Legs: Service-friendly access for maintenance and raised legs for sanitation and ease of floor cleaning.
- UL EPH Certified & RapidShip: Meets electrical safety expectations and available for fast delivery to keep your timeline on track.
- Compact Footprint: Fits into constrained kitchen layouts while delivering large capacity—ideal for tight back-of-house plans during a kitchen buildout.
Built for Commercial Success
The CW1 is engineered with commercial kitchens in mind. Its heavy-duty components and stainless steel exterior stand up to daily use, while the inconel-sheathed heating element resists burnout and extends service life. For new restaurant owners, this means fewer equipment headaches and lower total cost of ownership. Concept Services inspects every CW1 before delivery and coordinates professional installation so your equipment arrives clean, tested, and ready to integrate with your workflow — maximizing uptime and protecting your investment.
