Vollrath warranty by product line

Vollrath's standard warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for 12 months parts and labor from Vollrath's sale to the end user, or 18 months from its sale to the dealer, whichever comes first. Many lines have longer or shorter terms:

• The warranty covers the original commercial end user and is not transferable without Vollrath's written consent. Residential use, home kitchens and rental use are excluded.
• Not covered: acrylic safety guards, glass parts (breath guards, display cases, oven doors, induction glass), cutting board surfaces, knives, light bulbs, door seals, normal wear and damage from improper installation or maintenance.
• Warranty work must be authorized by Vollrath in advance. Call Vollrath Technical Service at 800-628-0832 with the item and serial numbers, the purchase date and the proof of purchase.

How to read a Vollrath item number

Vollrath uses numeric item numbers for smallwares and coded model numbers for equipment. Give us the number from the data plate when you order parts.

• Steam table pans (5 digits): 30 is Super Pan V and 90 is Super Pan 3 (gastronorm). The third digit is the size: 0 full, 2 half, 3 third, 4 fourth, 5 half long, 6 sixth, 9 ninth. The fourth is the depth: 0 = 3/4", 1 = 1-1/4", 2 = 2-1/2", 4 = 4", 6 = 6", 8 = 8". The last digit is 2 for a solid 22 gauge pan, 3 for perforated and 0 for the 20 gauge Super Pan. So 30262 is a half-size, 6" deep solid pan.
• Low profile heat strips: FC-4SH-36208-CO-SW = a 36" strip for 208V; 120 in that spot means 120V. The two letters after it are the housing finish and the last code is the control option.
• Countertop equipment: CT2 and CT4 are conveyor toasters (CT4-2081000 = 208V, about 1,000 slices an hour), PO4 conveyor ovens give the voltage (208, 220 or 240) and belt width (PO4-22018R-L = 220V, 18" belt, right to left), CF2 and CF4 are countertop fryers, GG and CB are gas griddles and charbroilers with the width at the end (GGHDM-36 = 36").
• Serving lines: some 2-Series item numbers end in the width (3873060 = 60", 3872746 = 46"); a T prefix marks sealed-well Deluxe hot stations and R refrigerated cold stations. 6-Series Velocity breath guards start with FC-6BG or SS-6BG.

Who makes Vollrath and where is it made?

The Vollrath Company, LLC makes Vollrath foodservice products. Vollrath traces its start to Jacob Vollrath in 1874, and the company says the Vollrath family has guided it through generations. Its headquarters is at 1236 N. 18th Street, Sheboygan, Wisconsin 53081.

Vollrath lists manufacturing sites in Sheboygan, Kewaunee, Kiel and Dane, Wisconsin, in Maize, Kansas, and in Santa Coloma de Farners, Spain (Pujadas), plus warehouses in Mexico and offices and a warehouse in Shanghai, China. Vollrath does not say which products come from which plant, so check the country of origin on the spec sheet when it matters to you. Its family of brands includes Stoelting Foodservice (frozen treat equipment, since 1905), Pujadas (since 1921), Polar Ware and Vollrath Manufacturing Services.

NSF, electrical listings and ENERGY STAR

• NSF and UL/ETL: listings vary by product. Each product page here shows the listings in its spec table and spec sheet; check them against your health inspector's requirements.
• Voltage: Vollrath builds many units in more than one voltage (heat strips in 120V and 208V, toasters and conveyor ovens in 120V to 240V). Check the voltage and plug on the spec sheet before you order.
• ENERGY STAR: when we checked the ENERGY STAR open data on October 27, 2026, no Vollrath models were listed in the commercial refrigeration, griddle, fryer, combi oven or hot food holding cabinet datasets.

Choosing Vollrath serving and cooking equipment

• Steam tables: count the pans you serve at once (each well holds one full-size 12" x 20" pan), then pick open-well or sealed-well. Sealed wells heat with or without water; open wells use water and a drain. Decide on a storage base, a cutting board shelf and a sneeze guard at the same time.
• Drop-in wells: measure the counter cutout and check whether the well needs a drain and which voltage your counter has. Hot wells, cold wells and hot/cold wells come in 1 to 6 pan sizes.
• Heat lamps: match the strip length to the pass or shelf it covers, and choose single or dual strips for deeper shelves. Infrared strips hold plated food for minutes, not hours.
• Induction: countertop units at 120V suit buffets and sauté stations; 208–240V units give more power for cooking. Induction needs magnetic cookware, so check that your pans work with it.

Is Vollrath a good brand?

Vollrath has made foodservice products for more than 150 years and has its own plants in Wisconsin, Kansas and Spain. The range is wide enough to equip a whole serving line from one brand: tables, wells, heat lamps, sneeze guards, pans and utensils that fit together. Lifetime warranties on its main cookware lines, Super Pan V pans and one-piece utensils back up the smallwares.

The trade-offs: the standard equipment warranty is 12 months, shorter than some cooking equipment makers offer, and glass, acrylic guards and light bulbs are not covered. Induction ranges are replaced rather than repaired under warranty, and Vollrath does not state the country of origin by product line.
