Food Tek Insulated Drink Dispenser CPWK020-5

The Food Tek CPWK020-5 is a 20 litre insulated drink dispenser with a spigot. It is insulated, not refrigerated — there is no compressor and no power supply; it holds the temperature you put in. Construction is double-thickness food-grade polyethylene filled with polyurethane foam, with a safe use range of -40 to 80 °C, gasketed lid and a pressure relief valve for easy opening.

Why operators choose the CPWK020-5

• Insulated, not refrigerated — there is no compressor and nothing to plug in. It holds cold drinks cold and hot drinks hot for a service - it will not chill anything down, so fill it from product already at temperature
• Safe use range -40 to 80 degrees C — one vessel for iced drinks and for hot ones, and it will take frozen product without the shell failing
• Double-thickness PE filled with polyurethane foam — the foam core is where the insulation performance comes from - a single-skin drum will not hold temperature through a function
• 20 litre capacity with a spigot — self-service dispensing rather than pouring, which is what makes it work on a buffet or at an event
• Food-grade polyethylene — and it leaves no taste or odour in the contents, which matters for water and juice as much as for stock
• Alkaline and shock resistant — it survives both the cleaning chemicals and the loading dock
• Gasketed lid — minimises heat and cold loss over a long service
• Pressure relief valve — the lid opens easily instead of sealing itself shut as the contents change temperature
• Needs no power point — it goes wherever the service is - outdoors, in a marquee, on a truck

Specifications

Venue suitability

The CPWK020-5 suits caterers, function venues, sporting clubs, schools and food trucks serving drinks away from a power point. Because it is passive it also works as a transport vessel — fill at base, serve on site. If you need product actively chilled, this is not the right unit.

Installation & delivery

This unit needs no electrical supply. There is nothing to install, plumb or plug in. Fill it with product already at the temperature you want to serve, because the insulation holds temperature rather than changing it. At 6.5 kg empty it is a one-person carry; full of 20 litres it is roughly 27 kg, so plan where it is going to sit before you fill it.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does the CPWK020-5 refrigerate the drink?

No. It is an insulated vessel, not a refrigerated one - there is no compressor and no power connection. It holds the temperature of what you put in it, so fill it from product already chilled or already hot.

Q: How hot or cold can the contents be?

The safe use range is -40 to 80 degrees C, so it takes both iced and hot product, and frozen contents will not damage the shell.

Q: What is it made from?

Food-grade polyethylene, in a double-thickness structure filled with polyurethane foam. It is alkaline resistant and shock resistant, and leaves no taste or odour in the contents.

Q: What is the pressure relief valve for?

As the contents change temperature the air inside expands or contracts, which can make a gasketed lid difficult to remove. The valve equalises it so the lid opens easily.

Q: How heavy is it when full?

It weighs 6.5 kg empty. Twenty litres of liquid adds roughly 20 kg, so about 27 kg in service - worth positioning before filling rather than after.

Q: What warranty does the CPWK020-5 come with?

Covered for 1 year, parts only — labour is not included. On a machine of this value that is worth budgeting for, because a service call is on you from day one. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
