Featuring revolutionary dual-flow technology, the CircuFlame sealed burner’s dual-flow valve feeds two burner chambers, a main and a simmer, to achieve maximum turndown ratio. The CircuFlame can produce power as high as 30,000 BTU/hour for searing and broiling and as low as 1,500 BTU/hour for simmering, an impressive 20:1 ratio.

“The CircuFlame is just one example of our passion for product innovation, design and engineering, as well as the value we place on the input received from some of the country’s leading chefs,” said Eric Deng, president of Hestan Commercial Corporation. “From a product design and development standpoint, chef input drives every decision we make. Their desire for a more efficient and functional sealed burner was the catalyst for the CircuFlame’s creation.”

Mr. Deng said Hestan Commercial will also launch three new product lines at the NRA Show: Split Top Rangetops, Step Up Rangetops and Sauté Stations in a variety of models and sizes. These will be available for purchase in Q3 of 2016.

Hestan will welcome chef Thomas Keller, a Hestan brand ambassador since the company’s launch in February 2015 to its booth May 22 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Hestan Commercial’s lineup includes freestanding ranges, island suites, countertop equipment, convection ovens, griddles, charbroilers, French tops, hot tops, planchas, salamanders, cheese melters, fryers, pasta cookers and refrigerated bases.
