DESCRIPTION

FWE PHTT-1826 Series Clymate IQ® Precise Humidity Temperature Cabinets

The FWE PHTT-1826 Series Clymate IQ® Cabinets are designed to hold food at precise temperature and humidity levels while preserving product texture, quality, and appearance. Engineered for healthcare, schools, restaurants, commissaries, convenience stores, and institutional foodservice operations, this advanced holding cabinet combines intelligent climate control with high-capacity tray storage in a slim footprint.

Product Overview

Built around FWE's patented Clymate IQ® Precise Humidity Temperature Technology, the PHTT-1826 Series independently controls both temperature and humidity to help operators maintain ideal food holding conditions. The cabinet's narrow profile makes it easy to install in tight spaces while still providing substantial tray capacity and exceptional holding performance.

Key Features & Benefits

Clymate IQ® Technology - Provides precise, independent control of temperature and humidity for superior food quality and holding consistency.
Fast Heat-Up Performance - Reaches programmed temperature and humidity settings up to 25% faster than many competing holding cabinets.
Precise Humidity Control - Adjustable humidity settings from 0% to 90% RH allow operators to hold foods from crisp to moist conditions.
Wide Temperature Range - Adjustable temperature settings from 90°F to 200°F (32°C to 93°C).
No-Tip Tray Slides - Stainless steel tray slides securely support trays, even when partially extended, allowing easier access to products.
Fast Recovery System - Quickly restores cabinet temperature and humidity after door openings during busy service periods.
Push-Pull Air Distribution - Maintains uniform temperature and humidity throughout every rack position within the cabinet.
User-Friendly Controls - Color-coded controls simplify setup and operation while providing precise climate management.
Low Water & Temperature Alerts - Built-in indicators with optional audible alarm help maintain food safety and holding performance.
Space-Saving Design - Slim cabinet profile fits through tight kitchen spaces and narrow service corridors without sacrificing capacity.
Tri-Directional Cord System - Provides flexible installation and power cord routing options.

FEATURES

Agency Approvals
CUL - C-UL mark indicates a product meets the CSA testing standards for Canada.
C-UL-US mark indicates a product meets the UL and CSA testing standards for both the United States and Canada.
NSF - NSF International (formerly known as the National Sanitation Foundation) is an independent, non-profit organization that certifies food service equipment and ensures it is designed and constructed in a way that promotes food safety. FWE products that meet these standards bear the NSF mark.
You may also see a designation that a product meets NSF/ANSI, which adds rules from the American National Standards Institute to the testing. ANSI works closely with NSF to develop its food safety standards and complete testing to those.
UL - The UL mark, which now serves customers in more than 100 countries, has become the authority on product safety. Its engineers test for things like soundness of design, safety of electrical components, and structural integrity of products for which UL listing is sought.
If you think of NSF International classification as protection for your customers, then the mark of Underwriters Laboratories (UL) indicates safety for those who work in your commercial kitchen. The Illinois-based testing agency assures that the equipment that gets its stamp operates safely. There is also a sanitation classification that offers similar assurances about food safety as the NSF mark. Products are indicated as "Classified UL-EPH."
Bumpers
No Bumper - No bumper
Caster
3.5" Casters - 3.5" Heavy-duty casters - polyurethane casters are long lasting and used for easy maneuverability, even when fully loaded
Mobile
All Swivel Casters - All swivel casters allow for greater maneuverability. Great for tight turns or severe corners (such as on and off trucks or narrow hallways).
A drawback to the all swivel configuration is that it is harder to control the direction of the equipment when rolled in a straight line.
Construction
Stainless Steel / Insulated - Constructed of stainless steel, with welded base frame for added strength and durability - fully insulated cabinet and door provide energy efficient heating and longer holding times
Control Panel
PHTT Controls - Simple to use - user-friendly, easy to read, easy to set, color-coded controls allow you to set the unit from 0% - 90% relative humidity and 90F - 200F. Equipped with low water and temperature alarms
Electronic Controls - Electronic controls featuring easy to read digital display of cabinet temperature (with recall capacity of temperature set point and actual cabinet temperature), equipped with a programmable low temperature alarm, master ON/OFF switch with power indicator light.
Door Hinge
Edgemount Hinges - Heavy-duty edge mount die cast hinges
Door Latch
Magnetic Work Flow Door Handle - Magnetic work flow door handles ergonomically accommodates kitchen staff and servers of varying heights
Doors

OPTIONS & ACCESSORIES

Bumpers
Full Bumper - Heavy duty full perimeter bumper extends beyond doors and handles for added protection. The bumper is mounted to the base frame for added durability - the bumper is not used as the base frame. In this way, the bumper absorbs all the shock in transport, protecting the integrity of the construction.
Top Corner Bumpers - Top corner bumpers are a good option for those customers not needing the protection of a full bumper, but still require protection for walls and surrounding equipment.
Caster
Adjustable Legs - FWE offers a wide variety of adjustable legs for when casters are not an option. 4" and 6" adjustable legs are available on almost all of FWE's equipment.
All adjustable legs are provided with sealed precision bearing with a black anti-rust coating.
Larger & Upgraded Casters - Larger Casters
EZ Roll Heavy Duty Poly Caster - The EZ Roll Casters are standard on FWE cabinets and provide moderate floor protection with a high weight capacity.
EZ roll casters are shock absorbing and roll easier under heavy loads.
