DESCRIPTION

P Series - Heated Banquet Transport & Serve Cabinets
FWE's P Series is purpose-built for reliable, high-volume pre-plated meal service in banquet, catering, and institutional foodservice environments. Designed for transport, these units feature durable construction, intuitive controls, and FWE's patented Humi-Temp® system to keep meals hot, fresh, and ready for flawless service.

Key Features:

Patented Humi-Temp® Heat & Humidity System - FWE's gentle, passive system circulates hot, moist air throughout the cabinet to eliminate hot and cold spots. This helps preserve food quality by retaining both temperature and texture without the need for user-controlled humidity settings.
Optimized for Pre-Plated Meals - Fixed, heavy-duty stainless steel "no sag" shelves are perfectly spaced for holding pre-plated meals with or without insulated covers, supporting efficient loading and dependable transport during high-volume service.
Built for Rugged Transport - A stainless steel tubular base frame absorbs shock and vibration during movement, while a full-perimeter bumper, recessed handles, and maintenance-free casters protect both the unit and your facility.
User-Friendly, Reliable Controls - A recessed, easy-to-read control panel offers precise temperature adjustments from 90°F to 190°F (32°C to 88°C). The built-in thermometer remains visible even when the unit is unplugged, allowing at-a-glance cabinet monitoring.
Sanitary & Service-Ready - Triple-plated shelves are removable for thorough cleaning between uses, helping maintain hygiene standards during banquet and catering operations.

P-48 - Heated Banquet Cabinet with 48 Plate Capacity
The P-48 offers durable, efficient performance for transporting and holding up to 48 pre-plated meals. Built with FWE's patented Humi-Temp® heat and humidity system, this unit ensures consistent temperatures and optimal food texture throughout service. Fixed-position stainless steel shelves accommodate covered or uncovered plates up to 11" in diameter, making it a dependable choice for banquets, catering, or institutional settings. Its rugged frame, perimeter bumper, and recessed handles support smooth transport across venues.

FEATURES

Agency Approvals
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."
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.
CE - The CE mark is mandatory for products sold in the European Economic Area. It indicates the product conforms with certain manufacturing and design safety requirements. CE is similar to UL except it's more of a declaration by the manufacturer that the product meets the relevant rules, rather than being the mark of independent testing.
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.
Caster
5" Casters - 5" Heavy-duty casters - polyurethane casters are long lasting and used for easy maneuverability, even when fully loaded
Mobile
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.

Available in 5", 6" and 8" diameters.
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
Humi-Temp Controls - Controls are up-front, easy to read and set, and include a full range F/C thermostat for easy operation. Thermometer continuously reads cabinet temperature - even without power source!
Mechanical Controls - Mechanical controls
