Benchstar Insulated Top Loading Food Carrier CPWK020-11

The Benchstar CPWK020-11 is a 20-litre insulated top-loading food carrier for transporting hot or cold food without powered assistance. Its double-thickness food-grade polyethylene shell is filled with polyurethane foam, with door gaskets to minimise heat and cold loss and a pressure relief valve that makes the lid easy to open after a temperature change. It is rated for use from -40 to 80C, is alkaline and shock resistant, and leaves no taste or odour in food.

Why operators choose the CPWK020-11

• 20 litre capacity, top loading — a practical single-person load for catering runs, with straightforward access from above
• Double-thickness PE filled with polyurethane foam — the insulation that actually holds temperature over a transport leg, rather than a thin-walled box
• Pressure relief valve — releases the vacuum that forms as contents cool, so the lid opens easily instead of fighting you
• Door gaskets — seal the lid to minimise heat and cold loss in transit
• Rated -40 to 80C — handles frozen product and hot food in the same unit
• Food-grade polyethylene, no taste or odour transfer — food comes out tasting the way it went in, run after run
• Alkaline and shock resistant — survives commercial cleaning chemicals and being knocked about in a vehicle
• Unpowered — nothing to plug in — no cord, no circuit and no electrical requirement, so it works anywhere

Specifications

Venue suitability

The CPWK020-11 suits caterers, function venues, meal-delivery operations, aged-care and school kitchens moving prepared food between a production kitchen and a service point. Because it is unpowered it works in a vehicle, a marquee or anywhere without a socket.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What are the internal dimensions of the CPWK020-11? A: 510 x 310 x 110mm, within an exterior of 650 x 450 x 210mm. Check your pans against the internal figure, since that is what determines what fits.

Q: Does it need power? A: No. It is an unpowered insulated carrier — there is nothing to plug in, which is what makes it usable in a vehicle or at an off-site function.

Q: What is the pressure relief valve for? A: As hot contents cool, a vacuum forms inside the sealed carrier and makes the lid difficult to lift. The valve releases that pressure so the lid opens easily.

Q: What temperature range is it rated for? A: -40 to 80C, so it handles frozen product as well as hot food.

Q: Will it hold flavours or odours between uses? A: No. It is made from food-grade polyethylene, which Benchstar specifies as leaving no taste or odour in foods.

Q: What warranty applies? A: Twelve months parts only. Labour is not covered under this warranty, which is worth noting when budgeting for service.
