BOOSTER WATER HEATERS

natural gas fryers
Properly cleaned and sanitized dishes and utensils are critical for any food service operation to meet customers’ safety expectations and protect a business’s valued name. A natural gas booster water heater provides the hot water needed for superior sanitizing results. Natural gas booster water heaters “boost” the temperature of 110-140°F hot water to 180°F for the final rinse, killing bacteria and destroying grease.
