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 Prisoner Tray Server allow you to serve hot foods from the 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 both compartments. 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 to you. 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-1109-156 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 correctional cart 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 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.
