Bulk Retherm Unit

The new Ready2Dyne bulk retherm unit gives schools, catering, correctional and healthcare facilities the ability to maintain chilled foods, and hold foods at hot serving temperatures in the same unit with no rehandling. The unit refrigerates, rethermalizes, and holds the food without labor intervention.

The unit provides temporary cold storage of food products, acting as a refrigerator, and holding within acceptable HACCP standards. At a preset time, the refrigerated conduction unit changes to a retherm unit. The conduction unit utilizes cold fluid flowing through hollow shelving maintaining foods until the appropriate pre-programmed time. At that point, the fluid is quickly heated and circulated throughout the shelves, warming the food to serving temperature.

A temperature datalogger maintains information for HACCP monitoring. The display shows the current state of the unit including actual temperature, time of day, and time remaining for the unit to complete the existing operation. The password-protected unit can handle up to five different programmable meal events.

The bulk retherm unit complies with all HACCP temperature standards regarding refrigeration, rethermalization and holding. Due to the gentle and precise temperature control, the food retains moisture, resulting in a higher yield. It holds over 100 meals in 10 full size 2.5-inch steam table pans. Food products rethermalize to hot serving temperatures within two hours with no need to monitor progress of food temperature. Once programmed, all functions are performed by a timer.
