Abstract

Equipment for holding or staging a bicompartmented sandwich package is disclosed. The equipment comprises supporting structure for supporting several packages, and heating elements for applying heat to only a part of the package. The support includes an uninterrupted floor supporting the warmed or hot compartment of the package, and shelving structure for supporting the unwarmed or cool package compartment. Heaters are disposed above and below the hot compartment. The support structure is arranged to retain the heat around the warmed or hot compartment. One embodiment, the floor structure is inclined so as to urge packages in the structure to slide downwardly to a pre-determined pick-up point.
