07. The latest versions of AltoShaam Inc.'s HSM Series Heated
Shelf Merchandisers, which
come in regular and countertop
versions, feature pass-through
capability, allowing food to be
loaded from the front or back of
the unit. The merchandisers are
heated by wiring cables, which
hold temperatures longer and
preserve quality by not drying
foods out, as fan-based heating
units can. The units are perfect
for instore prepared food items
including rotisserie chicken, pizza
and sandwiches.
