HEATED HOLDING TROLLEYS WITH HUMIDITY CONTROL
Heated holding trolleys with humidity control keep prepared food at selected temperature and humidity level until service. Forced-air circulation distributes heat throughout cabinet and helps preserve moisture, texture and food quality. Diamond models with capacities from 10 to 40 × GN 2/1 are suitable for catering, hotels, canteens, central kitchens and serving lines.
When to choose heated holding trolley with humidity control
Diamond CTH heated holding trolleys combine temperature control from 30 to 90 °C, forced-air circulation and controlled humidification with 4 adjustable relative humidity levels. Humidity can be adapted to type of stored food, and humidification system can be switched on or off independently.
Forced-air circulation distributes heat throughout cabinet and limits temperature differences between individual levels. Controlled humidification helps prevent food from drying out while waiting for service. Trolleys are suitable for meat, fish, vegetables, side dishes, pasta, casseroles and other prepared food.
