RTS - Ready To Serve

Active Temperature Maintenance to ensure Hot Foods are served Hot and Cold Foods are served Cold!

Burlodge is already known for its Advanced Meal Delivery Systems for Rethermalization of trayed meals. Now, that technology has been applied to enable traditional hot line system users to give their patients the best possible food temperatures at the point of service- all on a single, attractive tray, with the dishware you choose to use.

Meal trays are loaded into the pre-heated and pre-chilled Ready To Serve Cart. The fixed divider wall separates the hot and cold foods on the trays. Once the cart is loaded with the trays needed for that patient unit, the cart is plugged in to a 208 volt, single-phase outlet, for a heat boosting cycle. Meanwhile, the cold items are kept under refrigeration. This additional cycle may take place in the kitchen or on the patient unit. The heating and cooling continues while individual trays are taken out and served, thus maintaining the temperatures of all the remaining trays.

The system is ideal for units where a majority of patients or residents require assistance with feeding, and the total mealtime becomes extended as a result. If you want to improve the appearance of your tray presentation while serving “hot line meals” to your clients at the proper temperatures, this is the system for you.
