Description

3-Silo Convection Plate / Base Heater

Carter-Hoffmann (Middleby) • Model BH3S-208

Designed for demanding banquet, healthcare and institutional service lines, the Carter-Hoffmann 3-Silo Convection Heater safely holds up to 225 plates or 180 wax bases at precise serving temperatures. Factory-configured for plates and field-convertible for bases, it delivers the flexibility you need today—and tomorrow.

Why You’ll Love It

  • True dual-mode heating – toggle between “PLATE” (≈230 °F) and “BASE” (≈325 °F) at the flip of a switch.
  • High-velocity convection moves hot air evenly across all silos for fast, consistent results.
  • Self-leveling elevators keep stacks at the ideal dispensing height and adjust without tools.
  • Rugged all-stainless construction with fully welded, turned-in seams for maximum sanitation and durability.
  • Removable, gasket-free silo lids hang on built-in hooks—no more misplaced covers.
  • Easy mobility on 5 in. all-swivel casters (two locking) and a full-width tubular push handle.
  • 10 ft cord & NEMA 6-20P plug—just roll in, plug in and go.
  • cULus & UL EPH Classified for electrical safety and sanitation.
