FWE – Rethermalization & Holding Cabinets – RH-RB-26-HO

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.
