Different courses in one container

Decades of user-experience is the basis for design of this container. The container can be used for transporting food or beverages, either hot or cold. The beverages can be poured without opening the lid to avoid change in temperature. Light plastic INSERTS give a choice of carrying a split meal in one container.

Hygiene

High standards of design and construction make the container extremely hygienic. All surfaces are smooth to facilitate easy cleaning. The lid and container can be cleaned separately, and the small components in the lid can easily be stripped for cleaning.

Construction

It consists of two major parts: CONTAINER with handle, and LID with locking bar, tap, vacuum valve and lid gasket. Container and the lid each consists of an outer and inner part, welded together and enclosing the INSULATION. Valves and handle are by design protected against impact. A LADLE fits into the inner lid. Containers can be stored on top of each other. No maintenance, except cleaning, is required. Will float on water, even when filled. Owner's special markings may be moulded on the front.

Insulation Properties

Repeated tests show the following averages for insulation properties against cooling and heating. Container was filled with 13 litres of water, initial temperature 95°C, respectively 7 kg of crushed ice.

Water: container filled with 13 litres of water at 95°C
1
Container preheated, ambient temperature +21°C
2 Container not preheated, ambient temperature +21°C
3 Container not preheated, ambient temperature -21°C
Crushed Ice: container filled with 7kg of crushed ice
4 Ambient temperature +39°C. After 24 hours there remained 2.4 kg ice
5 Ambient temperature +21°C. After 24 hours there remained 4.4 kg ice
