      Our Commercial Urn Range

      We carry a strong range of hot water and soup urns, as well as commercial water boilers from brands that food service operations across Australia rely on.

      • Hot water urns: The Birko and Robatherm hot water urn ranges are two of the most trusted options in Australian commercial kitchens. Both deliver instant boiling water on demand and are well suited to cafés, staff kitchens and commercial property applications where consistent output is needed across a full shift.
      • Soup urns: Where a hot water urn holds a single high temperature, a soup urn uses a thermostat to maintain a precise serving temperature without overcooking. The right call for canteens, food courts and event catering where soup needs to hold for hours, not minutes.
      • Stainless steel commercial urns: Feature a double walled polished stainless steel body that retains heat well between fills and handles the demands of a busy service environment. Easy to clean, durable and professional on a service counter.

      Commercial Urn Capacity Guide

      Capacity is the first decision to make. The right size is the one that handles your peak service demand, not your average.

      How to Choose the Right Commercial Urn

      There's no one-size-fits-all answer. The right urn depends on what you're serving, how busy your service gets and where the unit will live.

      • Capacity: Think about your busiest 30 minutes, not your average hour. A 10 litre unit suits a staff room or small café. For a busy canteen or event setup, stepping up to 30ltr or 40ltr means you're not refilling mid-service. A rough guide: allow around 80-100 cups per 20L of capacity.
      • Temperature control: For hot beverage service, a fixed-temp element does the job. If you're serving soup, look for a variable thermostat. It gives you real control over hold temperature so your soup stays at the right serving temp throughout service rather than sitting at a rolling boil.
      • Element type: If there's one spec worth paying close attention to, it's the element. A concealed element protects against scale buildup and is far easier to clean than an exposed one. For kitchens running instant boiling water across back-to-back service periods, it will also last considerably longer.
      • Safety features: Confirm the model includes heat-resistant knobs, a non-drip tap, boils dry protection and indicator lights. Standard on most commercial urns, but worth checking on any budget model before you commit.
      • Body construction: A double walled polished stainless steel body retains heat between thermostat cycles, keeps the exterior cooler to the touch and holds serving temperature more consistently across a long service.
      • Power requirements: Most benchtop urns in this range run on standard 10 amp power, which keeps installation simple. If you're setting up in a commercial property or a temporary event space, confirm the amp rating before ordering.

      FAQs

      What size commercial urn do I need?

      Think about your peak demand, not your average. A 10 litre urn handles a small café or staff room comfortably. For canteens or event catering where stopping to refill mid-service isn't an option, 30ltr or 40ltr is the smarter call. Allow around 80-100 cups per 20L as a starting guide.

      What is the difference between a hot water urn and a soup urn?

      A hot water urn boils and holds water at or near 100°C for tea, coffee and hot beverage service. A soup urn uses a thermostat to hold food at a safe serving temperature, typically between 60°C and 85°C. They're not interchangeable. Using a hot water urn for soup risks overheating and inconsistent results across service.

      Are commercial urns easy to clean?

      Generally, yes. Models with a concealed element and a stainless steel commercial urn interior are the easiest to maintain. The smooth cavity descales and wipes down without much effort. If hygiene and quick turnaround matter in your kitchen, a polished stainless steel body and concealed element is the combination to look for.

      Do commercial urns have boil-dry protection?

      Most do. Boils dry protection cuts the element automatically when the water level drops too low, protecting the unit and the team. It's standard on most models in our range, but worth confirming on the product page before you order.

      What temperature do commercial urns reach?

      Hot water urns bring water to boiling point (100°C) and hold it near boiling for service. Soup urns with variable temperature control sit lower, typically between 60°C and 85°C, depending on the dish and the food safety requirements you're working to.

      Are commercial urns suitable for outdoor or event use?

      Yes, and they're a practical choice for it. Most benchtop urns in this range run on standard 10 amp power, making them easy to set up in marquees and temporary venues without additional electrical work. They're a reliable commercial property water boiler option for delivering instant boiling water away from a fixed kitchen.

      How long will water stay hot in a commercial urn?

      A well-built stainless steel commercial urn with a double walled body holds water at temperature for several hours after boiling, with the thermostat cycling to maintain it. Running costs stay low compared to boiling a kettle repeatedly through a shift, which is a large part of why they're the standard choice for commercial use.

      Can I use a commercial urn for instant boiling water?

      Yes. Commercial hot water urns with a quick recovery element deliver near-instant boiling water on demand and handle continuous service well. For most café and catering settings, the recovery time is short enough that service flow isn't interrupted.
