How MRE Heaters work

The secret of MRE heaters’ magic lies in the internal chemical reaction.

When water is poured into the bags, the internal magnisium-based metal powder quickly comes into contact with the water. With water and metal compounds, it can generate a large amount of heat in a very short time, heating your food to the point where it is ready to enjoy.

Step of Using a MRE Heater

Step 1 Open the Heater Pouch

Tear open the top of the heater pouch along the designated area.

Step 2 Insert the MRE

Place your sealed MRE food inside the heater pouch, ensuring it fits perfectly.

Step 3 Add Water

Carefully pour water into the heater pouch up to the fill line marked on the inside. Don’t overfill. The correct amount of water is crucial for the reaction to proceed effectively.

Step 4 Activate and Wait

Stand the pouch upright, using  a stable surface. The reaction will begin immediately, producing heat and steam. Wait a few minutes for your MRE to heat through. The actual time may vary based on factors like temperature and the density of the food.

Step 5 Enjoy Your Meal

Carefully remove the heated MRE from the pouch and enjoy.

The Future of MRE Heaters

With the development of science and technology, MRE heaters are still developing and evolving. The futere of MRE heaters may be more innovative. For example products that do not need to take additional water. By using these product, it can automatically start heating food by simply pulling down the rope or other small device inside.

FAQS

Q: Are MRE heaters reusable?

A: No, they are disposable because they are designed for only one-time use. And the internal chemical reaction is irreversible once you add water into them.

Q: How to deal with used products?

A: Confirm that they are completely cooled and take away the waste of the heating packs then operate according to the processing procedure standards.

Q:How long do MRE heaters take to heat the food?

A:During the heating process, the generated heat can bring the food to a suitable eating temperature (usually above 60℃) in a short time (typically 5-15 minutes) according to the food weight.
