A greater variety of appetizing and nutritious foods helps to meet new nutritional requirements of various food programs and reduces the waste of unwanted and discarded food.

With a variety of models to choose from with a wide range of capacities, our selection caters to a minimal footprint to get the most out of your limited kitchen space.

Heated

UHS-12

Universal Humidified Heated Holding Cabinet for Various Size Trays, Pans and Gastro-Norm

Running a school food service program is challenging enough. Kids can be picky eaters and food that has simply been held hot can be dry, hard, and tasteless if not held in the right cabinet. FWE provides the ideal blend of heat and humidity to hold all types of school menu items.

FWE’s humidifying heat system, HUMI-TEMP, pre-conditions the cabinet environment by gently circulating moist air throughout the interior. Food is kept hot and fresh for hours.

Precision Moisture

PHTT-12

Universal Precision Humidity Temperature Technology for Various Size Trays, Pans and Gastro-Norm

PHTT-12, Clymate IQ® cabinet, introduces FWE’s intuitive climate control. This technology allows the PHTT-12 to reach the set humidity and temperature in just 30 minutes versus 75 minutes for the competition. User-friendly, easy-to-read, easy-to-set, color-coded controls allow the operator to set the unit from 10% to 90% relative humidity and 90°F (32°C) to 200°F (93°C) take the guesswork out of holding.

The PHTT-12 is built with standard features to ensure the set temperature and humidity is not only reached quickly but stays at its set levels. Operators don’t have to worry about losing heat and humidity. Self-closing hinges are used to pull the door shut after it has been opened and released. This helps prevent loss of heat and humidity even during peak service times. The PHTT-12 is provided with an extra large water reservoir eliminating the need for constant re-filling. The water pan is removable to facilitate easy cleaning.

The PHTT-12 is provided with universal slides. Universal tray slides offer high capacity of two (2) pans per set of slides and they hold various size trays.

Rethermalization

Rethermilization (Retherm) Ovens are the workhorse of any school foodservice kitchen.

Far from being just a food warming cabinet, the Retherm Oven is an appliance that is an essential part of any foodservice program. Retherm ovens are heavily used in schools and institutions that require fast, efficient methods of heating chilled (or frozen) bulk foods on a regular basis. The rethermalization solution mitigates the frenzied peaks & valleys of heavy service that occur when production is planned around the mealtime rush.

The use of retherm ovens in K-12 schools and school districts saves in labor costs, requiring basic skills and training. Lower overall costs in bulk commodity food purchases also result when entrées can be prepared in bulk, for several meals, many days in advance. Unlike conventional systems, the bulk retherm process is often the perfect low cost-effective system that can meet the unique challenges of many school district foodservice operations.

Rethermilization ovens are specifically designed to heat hundreds of pre-cooked and prepared foods from a “slacked” chilled/frozen stage to fully cooked within the HACCP food safety guidelines. Keeping school entrées consistently hot for long periods, after reaching set temperature, is also a key feature of the retherm process. Something conventional convection or combi ovens cannot offer.

Trays, Pans & GN

RH-18

Retherm Oven for Various Size Trays, Pans and Gastro-Norm

The RH-18 is a rethermalization oven for high volume heating and finishing of pre-cooked or prepared foods. Retherm ovens are typically found in large institutions such as schools, universities, colleges and campus dining.

The RH-18 allows users to go from cold to hot to hold with the press of a button. No need for constant monitoring. Simply dial-in retherm oven temperatures up to 350°F (180°C) and heated holding temperatures up to 190°F (90°C). Oven will automatically switch from retherm mode to holding mode. Operators can program up to 12 preset menu selections.

Because retherm ovens such as the FWE RH-18, top out at a maximum temperature of 350°F, in most states these ovens are not required to be under expensive ventilation hoods. (local codes prevail)

The RH-18 is provided with universal slides that fit ever-changing needs. Universal tray slides offer high capacity of two (2) pans per set of slides and they hold various size trays.

Baskets

RH-B-32

Retherm Oven for Baskets

The RH-B series is specifically for those using wire baskets. Models accommodate up to (32) 13.5” x 26” wire baskets. 320 meals in one load! Prepare hundreds of pre-portioned school lunches quickly using disposable, re-heatable, sealed containers. RH-B series is perfect for users who transport food from a central or commissary kitchen, or prepared earlier in their own kitchen.

FWE rethermalization ovens have simplified many food service operations by storing and locking 12 preset menu selections. With easy-to-use electronic controls and the perfect balance between heat and gentle airflow, rethermalizing a wide variety of foods had never been easier!

It is so simple and efficient that meal preparation can now be done virtually in minutes. Once the cabinet is preheated, simply load the food, set the time and temperatures and walk away.

The oven switches from the higher retherm temperature mode into the lower temperature holding mode automatically after the cycle has been completed.

Transfer System

RH-RB-26

Retherm Transfer System

“FWE’s Retherm Transfer Sytem” begins with prepared, cooked, food. Food is either panned, for bulk service, or pre-portioned into sealed containers, for individual service. Pans are then be loaded into FWE’s RR-1220-22 roll in rack. Sealed containers would be placed in baskets and full baskets would be loaded into FWE’s RRB-26.

The loaded rack is then blast chilled or frozen until delivery time at individual cafeterias. Once delivered and food has been slacked (defrosted to 41°, to refrigerated state) the roll in rack goes directly in FWE’s RH-RB-26, Retherm Oven.

During the retherm process food is quickly and safely brought back up to serving temperature. Once the set temperature has been reached the retherm with automatically switch to hold mode, keeping product hot and ready until serving time. However, if multiple loads are required, FWE offers the HHC-RH-26, heated holding cabinet, to serve as a holding cabinet for the roll in rack, freeing up the retherm oven for additional batches.

Some benefits of the transfer system include: retaining nutritional value, saving initial quality and flavor of food, reducing the cost of production and labor while simplifying the transportation process.
