Aladdin Temp-Rite’s Insul-Max^™ is a pellet base system consisting of a plastic pellet base that is heated in a specially designed convected air base heater. When the base is heated for two hours and used in conjunction with a heated dish and insulated dome, hot food temperatures will be maintained for over an hour.

Insul-Max's advanced heat-retention capability results from using a temperature storage material which can be heated to a high temperature with a gradual release of heat over an extended time period.

In addition to increased hot food holding time, Insul-Max’s design also provides several other key benefits. Unlike stainless steel bases, no underliner is required, which reduces the number of parts to wash, handle and store. Insul-Max bases are much lighter than stainless steel pellet bases, will work with most 9" domes, and come in an assortment of colors. Insul-Max is also safer than steel, with less risk of burns to patients.
