The Hatco GRA Series Glo-Ray® Aluminum Infrared Strip Heaters are designed to safely maintain hot food products at optimum serving temperatures without drying out or overcooking.

Constructed with durable continuous extruded aluminum housings, the GRA series is engineered to resist sagging while providing dependable long-term holding performance in demanding commercial environments. The tubular metal sheathed heating element, protective wire guards, and insulated reflector system help maintain efficient operation and consistent warming results throughout service periods.
