Check out the recap to learn more about our booth and relive FWE’s unforgettable NAFEM 2025 experience!
Get Hands-On with FWE
We brought more than just equipment to NAFEM 2025, we created an interactive, hands-on experience. Our booth was specifically designed so attendees could get up close with many of our most popular units, explore brand-new models, and discover how our customizable options can be tailored to fit their operation’s unique needs.
Visitors had plenty of opportunities to see our equipment in action, with live demonstrations conducted throughout each day. Between demonstrations, our knowledgeable team was on hand, answering questions, discussing practical solutions, and helping attendees select equipment perfectly suited to their specific requirements.
Throughout the event, expert guidance, engaging demonstrations, and a wide range of equipment were available for all who visited, making our booth a true highlight of NAFEM 2025.
Spotlight on Innovation: Two Must-See FWE Units
FWE is proud to showcase two of our most innovative new units—the UHST-8-MERC and the PHTT-12-CV-HE. Both units have been recognized in the show’s “What’s Hot, What’s New” section, highlighting them as standout products in the food service industry. Here’s a closer look at why these units are turning heads:
UHST-8-MERC: The Future of Self-Service Vending
The UHST-8-MERC is redefining the self-service vending experience with its frictionless technology and advanced automation, making it a game-changer for grab-and-go food operations. Customers can simply swipe or tap their payment to unlock the door, select their items, and close the door to complete the purchase, all in under 30 seconds.
The unit’s calibrated load cells detect which items are removed, ensuring precise inventory tracking and reducing shrinkage. An 11-inch interactive touchscreen provides real-time product information, including item descriptions, pricing, and nutritional details, while also offering cloud-based order tracking for streamlined inventory management.
The cabinet features automated door locking between transactions to prevent unauthorized access and minimize food loss. Additionally, its powerful top-mounted heating system ensures even heat distribution, eliminating hot and cold spots to maintain food at optimal temperatures. To further enhance food safety, the UHST-8-MERC includes a programmable temperature lockout, restricting access if internal temperatures fall outside safe holding ranges.
PHTT-12-CV-HE: Energy-Efficient Holding Meets High Performance
The PHTT-12-CV-HE represents the next generation of the PHTT series, combining high-efficiency performance with the reliability FWE is known for. This Energy Star-certified unit reduces energy consumption without compromising on heat and humidity control. Its advanced Clymate IQ® system automatically releases excess humidity through a chimney vent, maintaining consistent performance and optimal food quality.
Designed to thrive in busy kitchen environments, the PHTT-12-CV-HE boasts rapid preheat and recovery times, ensuring it can keep up with high-volume service demands. The interior is equipped with adjustable, removable stainless steel tray slides that accommodate a variety of pans, including 18″ x 26″ sheet pans, 12″ x 20″ hotel pans, and GN pans, offering maximum flexibility.
