Used Star Holman T710 Commercial Conveyor Toaster — High-Volume 300 Slices/Hour
The Star Holman T710 Commercial Conveyor Toaster delivers consistent, high-output toasting performance engineered for the demanding pace of commercial foodservice operations. Capable of toasting up to 300 slices of bread or bagel halves per hour, the T710 accommodates two slices side-by-side on its 10-inch wide stainless steel conveyor belt, making it an ideal solution for restaurants, diners, hotel breakfast stations, cafeterias, and institutional kitchens where speed and consistency are essential. Built by Star Manufacturing International — the maker of the trusted Holman brand — this countertop conveyor toaster combines robust construction with intuitive operator controls, including independent infinite-heat top and bottom switches, a fully adjustable conveyor speed dial, and an energy-conserving Power Saver switch that keeps the unit warm during slow periods while dramatically reducing electricity consumption. Compact and counter-friendly, the T710 operates on standard 120-volt power at 1,750 watts and requires no specialized installation, allowing fast deployment in virtually any commercial kitchen environment. From bread slices and hamburger buns to English muffins and bagels, the Star Holman T710 provides reliable, repeatable toasting results every service period.
High-Volume Throughput
The T710 is rated to toast up to 300 slices of bread or bagel halves per hour, supporting a continuous, uninterrupted flow of product during peak service periods. The 10-inch wide stainless steel conveyor belt accepts two standard bread slices side-by-side, doubling effective output per conveyor pass and ensuring operators can keep up with even the busiest breakfast or lunch rushes.
Independent Top and Bottom Heat Controls
Separate infinite-heat switches for the top and bottom heating elements give operators precise, independent control over the toasting profile. This dual-zone heat system allows customization of browning intensity on each side of the product — essential when toasting bun halves cut-side up, or when balancing heat for dense or delicate bread varieties. Each control dial adjusts continuously from Off to Hi with no preset stops, providing unlimited fine-tuning flexibility.
Fully Adjustable Conveyor Speed
A dedicated conveyor speed control dial allows operators to precisely set belt travel time, directly determining toasting darkness and intensity. Slowing the belt deepens the toast; increasing belt speed lightens the result. This stepless speed adjustment accommodates a wide range of bread products, thicknesses, and desired browning levels without requiring heat control changes, providing consistent results across every menu item.
Power Saver Switch — Energy Efficiency Built In
The T710 is equipped with a rotary Power Saver switch featuring three operating positions: Full Power, Standby, and Off. The Standby position reduces the unit's power draw to just one-quarter of its full operating level — delivering 75% energy savings during slow service periods or between meal rushes. When demand returns, a single switch rotation to Full Power restores operating temperature in approximately 20 to 30 seconds, eliminating the need for a lengthy full preheat cycle and minimizing product wait times.
Automatic Heat Limit Protection
A built-in automatic Heat Limit Switch monitors internal control box temperature and interrupts heater tube power if the ambient temperature inside the control box exceeds 190°F (88°C). This protects critical internal components from heat damage caused by blocked airflow or an improperly positioned crumb tray. The switch can be manually reset via the red button on the front of the control box once the underlying cause has been corrected, allowing operators to return the unit to service quickly without requiring a service call for a simple overtemperature event.
Removable Crumb Tray
A slide-out crumb tray positioned beneath the conveyor belt catches food debris and crumbs during operation, preventing buildup inside the unit and reducing fire risk. The crumb tray doubles as a heat reflector, contributing to efficient, even cooking within the toasting cavity. It must remain in place during operation and should be removed and cleaned regularly as part of daily maintenance to ensure optimal performance and unit longevity.
Front Load-Up Tray and Toast Chute
The T710 includes a front-mounted load-up tray that acts as a product guide, helping operators feed bread slices, bun halves, and muffins safely and squarely onto the moving belt without risk of catching fingers or misaligning product. A toast chute at the discharge end directs finished product cleanly away from the unit, reducing mess at the serving station and keeping the countertop organized during high-volume service.
Compact Countertop Design with Adjustable Legs
The T710's compact footprint — 14 inches wide, 18 inches deep, and 14 inches tall — makes it well-suited for crowded kitchen counters where space is at a premium. Four 4-inch adjustable plastic legs elevate the unit off the countertop to promote airflow through the bottom air intake and allow for easy cleaning beneath the unit. Legs can be leveled independently to accommodate uneven counter surfaces.

Why Choose the Star Holman T710 for Your Commercial Kitchen?
In a busy commercial kitchen, toasting equipment needs to be fast, reliable, and easy for any staff member to operate. The Star Holman T710 checks every one of those boxes. Its set-and-forget conveyor operation eliminates the need for constant monitoring — simply load product onto the belt and it emerges perfectly toasted at the discharge end, freeing kitchen staff to focus on other tasks. Unlike pop-up toasters that require individual attention for every batch, the T710's continuous conveyor design keeps product moving without interruption, sustaining the 300-slices-per-hour throughput your busiest service periods demand.
The independent top and bottom heat controls give trained operators the ability to dial in a precise toasting profile for every product type on the menu, from lightly warmed brioche buns to deeply browned sourdough slices. Because each heat zone is adjustable independently, achieving the right browning balance for any bread or bun variety is a matter of simple experimentation — not guesswork. Once the right settings are found, the knob positions can be noted for repeatable, consistent results across every shift and every operator.
Energy efficiency is built into the T710's design through the Power Saver switch, which allows operations to keep the unit warm and ready between service periods without paying full operating wattage during downtime. For a piece of 1,750-watt equipment that may run eight or more hours per day, the ability to drop to 25% power consumption during slow periods translates directly into lower utility bills over the course of a month or year. The fast 20-to-30-second recovery time means there is never a meaningful delay when business picks up again.
Maintenance and cleaning are straightforward by design. The slide-out crumb tray can be removed, emptied, and wiped clean in seconds, and the conveyor belt surface is easy to wipe down with a damp cloth during operation at high belt speed. There are no complex disassembly procedures required for routine daily cleaning, allowing even new kitchen staff to keep the unit in proper operating condition. The automatic heat limit protection provides an additional layer of reliability, safeguarding internal components against overtemperature damage and giving operators and managers confidence that the unit will perform consistently day after day.
The Star Holman T710 Commercial Conveyor Toaster is the dependable, high-output, energy-conscious toasting solution that professional foodservice operations trust to keep service running smoothly, shift after shift.
