Hendi Water Heaters

SIA La RONDE’s water heaters are designed for preparing hot water and mulled wine in foodservice settings. The range includes a stainless-steel model and a white version, both with a tap for dispensing. For cafés, pubs and catering teams, the choice can be guided by the serving task, available counter space and the time needed to prepare a batch.

Equipment and tasks

Batch preparation can reduce repeated filling during a busy service, while a tap lets staff dispense directly into cups or containers. The stainless-steel vessel is durable and corrosion-resistant, properties suited to regular kitchen use and routine cleaning. Its insulated polypropylene handles reduce heat transfer to the grip, and the non-drip tap helps control serving at the counter.

The white version also has insulated handles and a non-drip tap, supporting controlled dispensing in a beverage station. Both heaters are intended for hot water and mulled wine. They are not suited to hot chocolate, so choose them for menus that include the drinks they are designed to prepare. Keeping beverage preparation at a dedicated station can help staff organise service tasks.

Parameters in use

The model with article 240700 takes approximately 75 minutes to bring its contents to the boil. Build this warm-up into pre-service preparation so the batch is ready when demand begins. Its thermostat adjusts up to a maximum of 110°C, supporting the temperature range needed for hot-water and mulled-wine preparation. This gives the team control over heating for the intended beverage tasks.

The white model measures 435 × 441 × 500mm, dimensions that help assess its worktop footprint and access to the tap. The other model measures 442 × 426 × 491mm, so compare its size with the intended counter position before placing it. Both heaters use 2.5kW at 230V; these ratings help operators assess the electrical load and supply required for operation.

Choosing a product

Consider the actual counter position and serving route when comparing the models. The white version has different overall dimensions, which may affect how it fits the available worktop and how staff reach the tap. Where stainless-steel vessel construction is preferred, the other model is the relevant choice. Position either heater so dispensing does not obstruct nearby preparation work.

Plan the heating schedule around the time required before service, then match the appliance to the drinks being prepared. The tap supports repeated dispensing at the serving point, while the thermostat allows adjustment within the heater’s temperature range. These are practical choices for teams preparing hot water or mulled wine in batches. For hot chocolate preparation, use equipment suited to that task instead.
