DESCRIPTION

FWE PTST-1109 Series Dual-Temp Satellite Transport Cabinets

The FWE PTST-1109 Series Dual-Temp Satellite Transport Cabinets are designed to securely transport, hold, and serve compartment meal trays in correctional, institutional, and satellite meal service environments. Engineered with specialized security features and available in heated/refrigerated, heated/ambient, and fully heated configurations, these cabinets help operators efficiently distribute meals while maintaining proper food temperatures and quality.

Product Overview

Built for demanding correctional and institutional foodservice operations, the PTST-1109 Series provides secure transport of both hot and cold meals from a central kitchen to remote serving locations. The dual-temperature design allows operators to simultaneously maintain hot and cold food items in separate compartments, improving food quality and service efficiency during meal delivery operations.

Key Features & Benefits

Why FWE?

FWE has built a reputation for manufacturing durable, transport-ready foodservice equipment for challenging institutional environments. The PTST-1109 Series combines dual-temperature performance, correctional-grade security features, and robust construction to deliver reliable meal transport and service while maintaining food quality and operational efficiency.

FWE Heated / Ambient Prisoner Tray Servers allow you to serve hot and cold foods from the same two-section cabinet, separated by a thermal insulated wall assuring even temperatures in both sections. Our heat system keeps pre-trayed foods hot and moist in one compartment, while cold plates keep trays of cold foods chilled and ready to serve in the ambient section. The addition of guard rails and beverage urn angles to the top of unit make beverage service fast and easy. Inmate populations are served quickly, efficiently, and at less cost. The heat system is built into the cabinet to prevent tampering and reduce maintenance and cleaning costs. Clean up is effortless. The controls in the PTST-1109-78HA are tamper resistant and feature a full range thermostat adjustable to actual temperature (90°F -190°F) so they are easy to see and operate.

We don't just add a "security package" to a catalog item - the Heated / Ambient correctional cart series is specifically designed to withstand the correctional environment. With correctional foodservice equipment in mind, our cabinets are built tough with an 18-gauge stainless steel exterior, welded construction and our exclusive tubular stainless steel base frame. The Heated / Ambient Series includes abuse resistant features such as tamper resistant screws, locking security latches and protected controls. From minimum to maximum security, a wide range of other prison accessory packages are available to tailor each unit to your institutions' special needs.

Of course, as with all FWE heated holding cabinets, standard models can be modified to accommodate other tray sizes and spacings for your corrections environment.

FEATURES

Agency Approvals
UL EPH - UL EPH recognizes products certified to meet environmental and public health standards. The UL EPH logo shows the word "Classified" above the UL mark, which indicates that the product complies with ANSI/NSF standards, in addition to other applicable codes.
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.
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
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
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.
6 Caster Configuration - 6 caster configuration increases the cabinets maneuverability, ideal for larger cabinets
6" Casters - 6" Heavy-duty casters - polyurethane casters are long lasting and used for easy maneuverability, even when fully loaded

OPTIONS & ACCESSORIES

Caster
Larger & Upgraded Casters - Larger Casters
Master Caster - The Master caster is the best all-around caster for FWE products. Having the highest load bearing weight the Master Caster can handle any piece of FWE product. With easy maneuverability and silent rolling, the Master Caster will not stop when there is a small obstruction or uneven terrain. The Master Caster is also resistant to corrosion from chemicals, water, and steam.
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.
Door Latch
Key Locking Door Latch - Heavy duty door latch with key locking capabilities
Electrical
220-240 Volt - 220-240 Volt
Upgraded Element - Upgraded Element
208 Volt
Hinging
Alternate Door Swing Configurations - Alternate door swing configurations are available for multi door cabinets
