Features

Applications

The Allwin ARP 50 IBVL insulated ice box is exceptionally well-suited for demanding outdoor activities and situations requiring substantial and extended cold storage, including:

• Large Group Picnics and Gatherings: Keeping a significant amount of food and drinks chilled for extended periods with added security.
• Multi-Day Camping and Overlanding: Preserving a large quantity of perishable supplies for longer off-grid adventures, offering secure storage.
• Extended Fishing and Hunting Trips: Providing ample and secure cold storage for provisions and catches during prolonged excursions.
• Catering and Event Support: Suitable for transporting and maintaining the temperature of a large volume of chilled goods for events.
• Emergency Preparedness: Providing a reliable, non-powered cold storage solution during power outages.

Usage

1. Preparation: To maximize the 40-hour insulation, pre-chill the ice box with a significant amount of ice packs or ice for several hours, ideally overnight, before loading.
2. Loading: Pack cold items efficiently, utilizing a generous amount of ice or high-quality ice packs to fill any remaining space. Given the large capacity, consider layering items for optimal cooling. Ensure the lid closes securely and the lock engages.
3. Closure and Locking: Ensure the lid is firmly closed and the single lock mechanism is properly engaged to maintain the internal temperature and secure the contents for the extended insulation period. Minimize unnecessary opening and closing.
4. Placement: When in use, position the ice box in the shadiest possible area to minimize external heat exposure and maximize the 40-hour insulation effectiveness, especially in warmer climates like Delhi.

Maintenance:

1. Cleaning: After each use, empty the ice box and thoroughly wash the interior and exterior with a mild soap and warm water solution due to its large size. Clean the lock mechanism gently.
2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue, ensuring no water enters the lock mechanism.
3. Drying: Allow the ice box to air dry completely with the lid open to prevent moisture buildup and odor formation. Ensure the lock mechanism is also dry before storing.
4. Storage: Store the clean, dry ice box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Storing it with the lid slightly ajar can improve air circulation.

Precautionary Guidance:

• Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the stated capacity, as this can strain the structure and compromise insulation and the locking mechanism. Be mindful of the significant weight when fully loaded.
• Secure Lid and Lock During Transport: Always ensure the lid is properly latched and the single lock is engaged before and during transport to prevent accidental opening and loss of cold contents, as well as to ensure the security of the contents, especially given the large volume.
• Minimize Exposure to Extreme Heat: While offering extended insulation, prolonged exposure to intense heat will still impact performance. Keep in the shade as much as possible to maximize the 40-hour benefit, particularly in warmer climates like Delhi.
• Use Sufficient Ice: To approach the full 40-hour insulation, use a substantial amount of ice or high-quality ice packs, ideally filling a significant portion of the empty space.
• Use Caution with Dry Ice: If using dry ice for enhanced cooling, ensure adequate ventilation to prevent the accumulation of carbon dioxide gas. Follow established safety guidelines for dry ice handling. Be mindful of potential pressure buildup that could affect the lid and lock.
• Handle with Care: While robust, avoid dropping the ice box or subjecting it to significant impacts that could cause damage to the structure or the locking mechanism. Be extra cautious due to the larger size and potential weight when full. Consider having two people lift it when fully loaded.
• Use for Cold Items Only: This ice box is designed for maintaining the temperature of cold items. Introducing hot items can damage the insulation and the plastic material.  
• Maintain the Lock: Avoid forcing the lock and ensure it is free of debris for smooth operation. If the lock becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant may be used.
