Snap Disc Thermostats for Food Warming Systems
Snap disc thermostats are compact, automatic-reset switches that regulate temperature by opening and closing an electrical circuit at preset actuation points. In food warming systems, they cycle the heating element to maintain a consistent internal temperature. This control helps prevent food from cooling too quickly or overheating, supporting safe and ready-to-serve conditions.
Senasys offers a full line of snap disc thermostats with multiple temperature ranges, mounting styles, and electrical configurations. Whether installed in heated holding cabinets, drawer warmers, countertop displays, or buffet stations, these thermostats provide fast thermal response and dependable performance.
Key advantages:
-
Mechanical operation reduces potential failure points
-
Compact size allows easy installation near the heating element
-
Multiple actuation temperatures and reset types available
-
Suitable for both control and limit applications
Snap disc thermostats provide consistent temperature regulation across a wide variety of food warming equipment.

Capillary Thermostats for Remote & High-Limit Temperature Control
Capillary thermostats are mechanical temperature switches that use a liquid-filled bulb and capillary tube to sense temperature away from the control housing. In food warming applications, they function as either adjustable temperature regulators or fixed high-limit cutoffs.
Common applications include:
-
Commercial ovens and ranges that use capillary thermostats to maintain cook temperatures or prevent overheating
-
Steam tables and bain maries where they manage the water bath and protect against thermal faults
-
Heated holding cabinets that use capillary thermostats to maintain a warm environment or shut down the heater during a failure
-
Hot holding drawers that require consistent heat for ready-to-serve food
Product benefits:
-
Accurate sensing supports stable temperature control
-
Flexible sensor placement improves design options
-
Durable mechanical construction resists heat and humidity
-
Available in adjustable and fixed configurations
Capillary thermostats meet the temperature control needs of complex or high-power foodservice systems.
