Expert Review and Insights
In healthcare catering, it’s the small details that make a huge difference to patient satisfaction and safety.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A large residential care facility in Bristol was struggling with inconsistent meal temperatures, leading to food waste and resident complaints. They decided to overhaul their service by investing in the complete Cambro Camtherm system, including the FE724 underliners.
"The difference was immediate. Our staff can handle the trays with confidence, and the feedback from residents about the food being properly hot has been wonderful. It’s a simple change that has had a huge impact on our daily service and morale."
Michael Davies – Facilities Manager
The facility reported a 25% decrease in food waste attributed to temperature issues within the first two months of implementation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, run the underliners through a full wash cycle to ensure they are sanitised.
- Ensure they are completely dry before stacking to prevent them from sticking together.
- Pair with the correct size Cambro Camtherm plate and base for a secure, effective fit.
- Integrate them into your tray assembly line for a smooth, efficient workflow.
Keeping It Going
- Load into commercial dishwashers securely, avoiding overcrowding for a thorough clean.
- Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh chemicals which can damage the polypropylene surface.
- Regularly inspect for any deep scratches or cracks, and replace if the integrity is compromised.
- Stack neatly after cleaning to save space and prevent accidental damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this underliner insulated by itself?
A: No, it is designed to be one part of the multi-component Cambro Camtherm insulated meal delivery system. Its real power is unlocked when used with the correct base and lid.
Q: Is the Cambro FE724 tray microwave safe?
A: While polypropylene can often be microwaved, these are designed for transport, not reheating. We advise against using them in commercial microwaves to preserve their lifespan and integrity.
Q: Can I use this with any dinner plate?
A: For optimal performance and a secure fit, it is strongly recommended to use it with the compatible 23cm Cambro plates designed for the Camtherm system.
Q: Is the polypropylene material BPA-free?
A: Yes, Cambro products intended for food service are made from high-quality, BPA-free materials, ensuring food safety.
Q: What is the main purpose of an underliner in a tray system?
A: It provides a stable base for the dinner plate and, crucially, adds another layer of insulation from below, helping to prevent heat loss through the bottom of the tray.
Q: Is it also effective for keeping cold food chilled?
A: Absolutely. Insulation works both ways. When used with a chilled base, it helps maintain the temperature of salads, desserts, and other cold items just as effectively.
Q: How resistant is it to staining from foods like curries or tomato sauces?
A: The high-quality polypropylene used by Cambro is highly resistant to staining, especially when washed promptly after use.
Q: Can these be used without a trolley?
A: Yes, the trays are designed to be easily carried by hand, making them versatile for smaller-scale services or for final delivery from a trolley to a room.
The Cambro Commitment: Reliability in Healthcare Catering
Choosing Cambro is about more than just buying a tray; it's an investment in operational peace of mind. For decades, Cambro has been a cornerstone of demanding food service environments, particularly in healthcare where there is no room for error. The true value of the Cambro Camtherm FE724 tray and its system isn't just in its technical specs, but in its long-term reliability. This is equipment designed to endure the relentless cycle of daily service, from rattling trolleys and industrial dishwashers to accidental drops. This durability translates directly into lower replacement costs and less operational disruption over time. More importantly, it empowers catering teams to consistently deliver on their core promise: providing safe, dignified, and enjoyable meals that support patient and resident wellbeing.

Ever wondered why this underliner is so effective? It's because it’s not working alone. Think of the insulated food transport tray system like a personal thermal flask for a plated meal. The heated plate goes on the base, the underliner adds another layer of insulation from below, and a domed lid clicks on top. This creates a pocket of air that is trapped and kept warm by the heat radiating from the food and the pre-heated base. The FE724 underliner is the floor of this 'hot box', preventing heat from escaping downwards. It’s this complete, 360-degree insulation that makes a system like Camtherm far superior to just a plate with a standard metal cloche, ensuring meals arrive at the perfect temperature.
