Hatco TQ-400BA Toast-Qwik Conveyor Toaster for Bagels and Buns, One-Side Toasting, 2" Opening, 120/208/240V
Description
A countertop conveyor toaster that toasts the cut side of bagels and buns, with conveyor speed setting the color.
The Hatco TQ-400BA is a second-generation Toast-Qwik horizontal conveyor toaster built for bagels and buns. It toasts one side only, for sliced bagels and buns placed cut side up, in as little as 45 seconds. The 2" high opening takes products up to 1-3/4" thick and 9-5/8" wide. Toast color is set by conveyor speed, not temperature, and the ColorGuard sensing system keeps it even through busy periods.

Plan a dedicated circuit with the matching receptacle within reach of the 6 ft. cord at the back right corner.
One-side bagel toasting
Toasts only the cut side of sliced bagels and buns, placed cut side up, in as little as 45 seconds.
Speed sets the color
Conveyor speed, not temperature, sets toast color, so you can change the setting instantly when the product changes.
ColorGuard sensing
Hatco's patented ColorGuard system monitors the chamber and adjusts conveyor speed during heavy use for even color.
Power Save mode
Power Save runs the toaster at 50% power in slow periods, with a flashing indicator light. Full power returns within 10 minutes.
Front or rear discharge
Set it up to send toast to the operator side or to the server side, whichever fits your line.
Cool, insulated cabinet
Insulation and an interior fan keep outside surfaces cooler, and the toast storage area keeps bread warm and dry.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the carton for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Place it on a level, sturdy counter with the clearances above. Pick front or rear discharge first, then install the discharge chute and toast collector pan for that side.
- Plug it into a properly grounded receptacle of the right voltage and plug type, on its own circuit. If the plug and receptacle do not match, have an electrician install the right receptacle.
- Do not toast coated or buttered products such as garlic bread, cheese sandwiches or sweet rolls; Hatco says residue hurts performance and voids the warranty.
