The Cambro Story Started in a garage in the 1956 Cambro started with a new product, the fiberglass tray Cambro started with the military in the late 50’s Cambro had a yearly contract with GSA and sold 50,000 trays per year. Cambro then sold pan carriers and beverage carriers which we still do today.
UPCS180 This item has been the standard item for 10 years!
New Design There became a need to improve the container for functional reason. A new design was developed between NATICK, CORANET, CAMBRO, and the design firm TIAX. Criteria: -Reduce storage area by 25% -Reduce the weight by 10% -Maintain the military specs for Hot and Cold food holding times and temperatures -Hold 5 Tray Packs -Hold 3 6” deep metal food pans -No cost increase
Insulated Hot Food Container Program Project Overview Goals Develop an insulated hot food container with reduced volume and weight while still maintaining the desired characteristics. • Thermal performance: a full container maintains food temperature, starting from 180oF, above 140oF for at least 4 hours in a -20oF ambient temperature • The in-use cube volume will be significantly less than the 4400 in3 of the current IFC but hold one more tray pack and still hold three 1/3 size GN pans Cambro Manufacturing Co. Ultra Pan Carrier S-series
Design direction Insulated Hot Food Container Program Project Overview Lid and Container Design Based on Phase I reviews with Natick, we have pursued the development of field-able prototypes of the ‘lid and container’ design. Lid and Container Design • For tray packs and steamtable pans “One-Piece” Designs – 4” & 6” deep • Primarily for polymeric tray packs
Assembled View Opened View with Tray Packs Insulated Hot Food Container Program Project Overview “One-Piece” Design During Phase II, the Natick team redirected to further develop the “one-piece” conceptual prototype and to develop concepts for a heatable, insulated beverage container. “Works-like”PrototypeEngineeringModel – “Works-like,Looks-like”
Insulated Hot Food Container Program IFC Prototype Design Reduced Storage Volume Nesting design cuts container stowage in half.
Insulated Hot Food Container Program IFC Prototype Design Reduced Storage Volume Container and lid together stow in 25% less volume.
Insulated Hot Food Container Program IFC Prototype Design Reduced Storage Volume Lids nest together separate from their containers.
Insulated Hot Food Container Program IFC Prototype Design Specifications Additional foam for more margin on tray pack hold time and small increases in dimensions have reduced volume savings to 19.5%.
UPCSS160 (A-A-52193F) Item is now approved and ready for shipments. If you have a need for more storage space in a warehouse, and extra return space on the truck, order the Cambro (A-A-52193F)
