Hot, Cold Containers
Espar‘s new Mobile Flex-Cool refrigerated containers are designed for the hygienic transportation of temperature-sensitive goods in food and medical/pharmaceutical applications — but not necessarily in big trucks.
In fact these containers are “ideal” for users who may not be able to justify the expense or don’t need a fully dedicated refrigerated vehicle. Or a large one. Espar says the cost-effectiveness in comparison to a refrigerated vehicle conversion is impressive, as purchased or leased vehicles can be retrofitted to haul temperature-controlled loads, then sold or returned in original condition.
These easy-to-clean containers are made with rotationally molded polyethylene with insulation of expanded, CFC-free polyurethane foam as thick as 5 in.
The Mobile Flex-Cool product lineup ranges in volume from 22 to 915 liters with temperatures from -24 to +40C. They’re available as cooling-only, cool/heat, and cool/freeze.
The containers are equipped with hermetic DC compressors with an integrated AC rectifier, specially developed for vehicle uses. Operating voltage is 12-24V dc and 110 -240V ac, with what’s said to be low amperage draw. This allows flexibility in that users can readily switch the power source from the vehicle directly to the power grid, such as a plug in a wall.
