Giles GBF-BIB (71709 / 71712 / 71708) — 16-1/4" Electric Water-Bath Rethermalizer
The Giles GBF-BIB is a compact, floor-standing electric water-bath rethermalizer that thaws and heats sealed pouches of frozen, pre-cooked foods quickly and efficiently. Built on the footprint of Giles' GBF fryer series, it is only 16-1/4 inches wide, so it fits into tight spaces on a cook line. The 14-inch vat holds 6 gallons of water and up to five 5-lb pouches, and 9 kW of power gives fast recovery after frozen product is loaded. A simple digital thermostat holds the bath anywhere from 70°F to 200°F. The stainless steel unit rides on heavy-duty swivel casters with locking front brakes and is made in Montgomery, Alabama, as item 71709 (208V), 71712 (240V), or 71708 (480V), all single-phase.
Key Features of the GBF-BIB
A small-footprint water bath that heats bagged foods to serving temperature without taking a fryer-width slot on the line.
6-Gallon Water Bath
The 14" vat holds 6 gallons (22.7 L) of water and up to five 5-lb pouches of frozen pre-cooked product.
9 kW Heating
9,000 W of cooking power brings the bath back to temperature quickly for high productivity.
Digital Thermostat
An easy-to-use digital control sets the water from 70°F to a 200°F maximum.
16-1/4" Footprint
Takes only 4-1/8 sq ft of floor space, so it fits beside fryers where a full-size unit will not.
Swivel Casters
Heavy-duty swivel casters move the unit for cleaning; locking front brakes keep it stable in place.
Stainless Steel
Durable stainless construction, shipped with a vat screen, pot brush, drain clean-out brush, and long L-bend brush.
Water only: The GBF-BIB vat is for water only; it is not a fryer. Single-phase service draws 43.3 A at 208V (item 71709), 37.5 A at 240V (71712), or 18.8 A at 480V (71708). The service cord is not provided. Allow 50-1/2" of depth with the door open.
Ideal Applications
Kitchens that serve a few bagged sides or sauces at a time get a dedicated water bath in a 16-1/4" slot.
