DESCRIPTION

FWE RH-RB & HHC-RH Series Retherm Transfer System

The FWE RH-RB & HHC-RH Series Retherm Transfer System is designed to rethermalize and hold pre-prepared meals while helping operators streamline production, improve food quality, and reduce labor. Engineered for high-volume foodservice operations, this system combines a roll-in rack retherm oven with a heated holding cabinet to create an efficient cook-hold-serve workflow that improves consistency and overall performance.

Product Overview

Built for demanding foodservice environments, the Retherm Transfer System allows operators to prepare meals in advance, store them cold, then reheat and hold them for service using a roll-in rack process. This system reduces handling, improves food safety, and maximizes kitchen efficiency. It is ideal for centralized kitchens, commissaries, and large-scale meal production.

System Workflow

Load pre-portioned meals onto roll-in racks using baskets or pans
Store racks in walk-in refrigeration until needed
Transfer rack to RH-RB Retherm Oven for reheating
Move rack directly into HHC-RH Heated Holding Cabinet for service

This streamlined process minimizes food handling while maintaining quality and temperature control throughout the operation.
Key Features & Benefits

High-Capacity Meal Production - Holds up to 156 meals per rack using basket configurations, ideal for large-scale operations.
Complete Retherm System - Combines reheating and heated holding into a seamless workflow to improve efficiency.
Preset Menu Controls - Programmable controls allow storage of up to 8 recipes for consistent, repeatable results.
Automatic Cook-to-Hold Operation - System transitions from reheat cycle to holding mode automatically to maintain food quality.
Even Heat Distribution System - Precision airflow and venting ensure uniform heating during both rethermalization and holding cycles.
Top-Mounted Holding Heat System - Circulates heat evenly in the holding cabinet to eliminate hot and cold spots.
Reduced Labor & Handling - Minimizes manual handling while improving food safety and consistency.

Construction & Durability

Constructed with heliarc welded stainless steel and a heavy-duty tubular base frame, the RH-RB & HHC-RH system is built for long-term durability in high-volume environments. Features such as reinforced stress plates, insulated cabinet walls, and heavy-duty hinges ensure reliable performance and easy cleaning.

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.
Bumpers
No Bumper - No bumper
