Meal Delivery

Series STHR carts are available in three different capacities: 16, 20 or 24 meals.

Each model consists of two heated compartments and one refrigerated compartment which is divided into two sections by a stainless steel cold wall type accumulator. The two heated compartments are fitted with thermo-contact type heater shelves, each of which accommodates the hot food portion of one patient meal. The meals can be plated on any commercially available china dishes or on high-temperature plastic containers. The refrigerated compartment is sized for 12-13/16" x 20-7/8" trays.

The heated compartments employ a proven thermo-contact technology which guarantees top quality results by ensuring a direct heat transfer to the food. Each thermo-contact shelf consists of a heating element embedded in the cast aluminum shelf and are controlled by a programmable electronic control system. This design maximizes the quality of the finished product, without overcooking or drying out the food. In addition, the aluminum shelves help to retain the heat for several hours after the heating cycle is completed.

The control system gives the operator superior control of the process, is designed for ease and flexibility of use and includes password protection. Programmable settings include adjustment of time settings; selection of program mode (manual or automatic start); reheating time parameters; and daytime and night-time refrigeration settings. The programming also provides a variety of diagnostic tests to verify proper operation of the system. As an option the unit can also be equipped with a printer to record the shelf temperature, the cold air temperature, the date and the time.

The refrigerated compartment is designed to maintain previously chilled food at safe temperatures, even if the unit is unplugged for a short period of time (as during transportation). The accumulator is mounted in the center of the compartment and is filled with a non-toxic liquid ice substitute cooled by copper refrigeration tubing. The system is driven by a 1/3 H.P. condensing unit mounted on the base at the side of the unit. The cold cavity temperature is displayed by the controller.

Specifications

The cabinet's base is constructed of reinforced 14-gauge type 304 stainless steel. The balance of the cabinet's exterior, the interior of the heated compartments and the accumulator are constructed of 18-gauge type 304 stainless steel. The base is fitted with a full non-marking rubber bumper and is mounted on six stainless steel casters with 8" diameter wheels made of non-marking vulcanized polyamide material for rolling ease and durability. The four end casters are all swivel type, two of which (at the control panel end) are equipped with brakes. The two center casters are rigid. Two vertical pull handles are also mounted at the control panel end. The cold compartment is fitted with a bottom drain for ease of cleaning.
