Eutectic Vehicle Solutions
We have no doubt you're very comfortable with your blown air systems. The UK has favoured them for many years, but what about eutectics? This largely overlooked technology offers many benefits over a blown air refrigerated system when transporting frozen foods (It's pretty handy when it comes to multi temp environments too)!
- Maintain temperatures of -30°C to -18°C in a multi drop environment.
- Lower fuel costs over a blown air system as the refrigerant “charges” overnight not whilst on the road.
- Less temperature loss when doors are opened as compartments give access to the area needed not the entire body.
- Maintenance is greatly reduced, it's not unknown for systems to operate in excess of 3 years without a service call.
- As the body can be transferred to a new chassis, operators life the body over ten years or more.
- Near silent running while delivering allowing access to low noise areas.
- The vehicle doesn't need to be running when you're on your route, so you can take advantage of stop/start technology.
In the past it has always been challenging to deal with the leaders in this market as being based in Italy, it was feared that support might be an issue.
Fownd has taken the bold step of becoming the sole supplier of Framec eutectic products in the UK.
We are able to supply new bodies for old chassis and complete vehicles ranging in size from a Ford Ranger to 26-ton truck.
Most often seen on a 3.5-ton chassis, these marvels of refrigeration have reliability, price, residual value and green credentials on their side.
We are pleased to have a demonstrator on board and would be happy to offer this for those interested in trying out this well proven concept.
As sole importer for the Framec eutectic systems we are able to offer a complete parts service, from complete evaporator units to door handles and hinges. We can send you an expanded parts catalogue for easy indentification of the items you need.
Further product information is available on the Framec web site at (This takes you away from the Fownd website)
