  IntroductionTop of Page

A fibreglass ice box is a portable insulated box with glass smooth inner and outer skins that will hold anything (food, drink, medicines or any other items) "on ice" for periods of between 5 and 15 days without the use of any external power source.

Just place your product in the EvaKool ice box and top up with ice.

Sizes range from 47 litres to 185 litres.

The EvaKool ice box is considered to be the best and most efficient unit of its class in the world.

Around the world, ice boxes are also known as;

  Coolers - in the USA, Canada and Europe
Chilly Bins - in New Zealand
Vet Boxes - in South Africa
Insulated Coolers  - in Asia
    and last, but not least.....
Eskys - in Australia and New Zealand

EvaKool Ice Boxes are designed and manufactured to withstand and operate in the harsh Australian conditions.  The most advanced materials and the latest manufacturing techniques have been used to bring to you the best moulded fibreglass Ice Box in its class available on the market.

The method of construction creates a super strong, well insulated and smooth Ice Box which will keep items cold longer.  The moulded inner and outer skins are glass smooth, which makes them easy to clean and will not absorb any smell or taste.

Insulation used is the best available (high density polyurethane refrigeration foam - POLYAL.ISO.GP) injected under pressure, between the inner and outer moulded fibreglass skins creating a perfect lamination and bond.

  FeaturesTop of Page

CONSTRUCTION
The inner and outer skins are one piece moulded fibreglass with no joins or projections. They are bonded together by rigid insulation foam with a thickness of approximately 40mm.

INSULATION
The insulation used is the BEST available for this purpose and is injected under controlled temperature and pressure, creating perfect lamination and bond of both inner and outer skins. This insulation has been formulated for our exclusive use and tested under extreme Australian conditions.

LID
The lid is 40mm thick, filled with insulation and capable of being used as a seat. The lid will rest in an open position 5 degrees past the vertical without straps. Thus giving a total smooth clean interior surface without any attachments or projections.

HANDLES
Moulded in Nylon these give comfortable carrying without crushing the fingers.

HINGES
Moulded in Nylon our unique system allows the lid to be detached for easy of loading and cleaning. The Hinges will also detach automatically if someone forces the lid back - preventing damage to the box.

LATCHES
Rubber latches maintain constant pressure on the lid producing a perfect seal. Locks can be used where security is an issue.

CORNERS
The feet are moulded in nylon and give protection to the corners and the sides of the ice box.

BUNG
The bung is moulded and does not leak. The bungs are threaded on the outside, giving clean through drainage using a moulded tube on the inside.

SEALING FOAM
The sealing foam (24mm wide) used on the lid is approved for food handling. (USA FDA and Australian Public Health Authorities)

HYGIENE
The inside and outside fibreglass skins are moulded, glass smooth and do not absorb tastes or smells. This makes cleaning efficient and easy. There are no screws, joints or attachments - giving a one peice moulded interior surface.

  Ice ManagementTop of Page

  • Ice quality is extremely important in the life of ice in your icebox. Well "cured" ice, which has been kept at low temperatures in a freezer, should always be used.
  • Block ice lasts longer than broken/crushed ice.
  • You can create your own block ice by freezing tap water in plastic bottles.
    • This frozen water becomes a valuable source of ice cold fresh drinking water.
  • Always ensure the bung is correctly screwed back on after draining water from your icebox.
  • The recommended ratio of ice to product in an EvaKool icebox is approximately 1/3 ice to 2/3 product by volume.
  • Dry Ice can be used to increase the life of regular ice. 
  • The larger quantity of ice , the longer it will last.

  Technical ReportTop of Page

Test carried out using 65ltr ice box;

  Date: 4th-11th January 
  Unit Used: 65ltr EvaKool Ice Box - E65 
  Method: Ice box filled with 36kg of standard party ice, as purchased from a service station
  Ambient Temp.: 26.4°C 

Date Times Opened Melted Ice
4th Jan - 11th Jan  26  18.3 litres 
Weight of ice left in box at 10am on 11th Jan = 17.8kg 

  Comments:
Melted ice-water was drawn from the box.  Ice will melt less quickly if melted ice-water is left in the ice box.  The 65 litre EvaKool on which this test was made had 50% of ice left in it after one week.  Performance on larger ice boxes will improve when using block ice in conjunction with regular ice box management.

 

  Factory SecondsTop of Page

As a result of Evakool's stringent quality control and following the identification of certain visible imperfections, certain iceboxes have been graded as "Fishing Team " products (factory seconds). These imperfections are purely aesthetic in nature (e.g. superficial hairline cracks or gelcoat discolouring) and DO NOT affect the insulation properties or performance of the icebox , qualities for which Evakool is world renowned.

Limited quantities of Factory seconds can be viewed and purchased from the factory. Prices of factory seconds are dependant on the individual unit.
