Production

Safari Chillers are handmade products, most of which are moulded with fibreglass and a high density polyurethane core giving it excellent insulating qualities. The moulds are polished repeatedly by hand before a releasing agent is applied. They are then gel coated before laminating.

Once the lamination is complete and allowed to cure, the moulds are then bolted together. Thereafter, the foam is poured in. The foam expands rapidly causing a very high density filling. The box is then left to cure in the mould for a period of time before it is removed. Once removed it is checked and trimmed of any flashing on the edges. It is then sealed and each box is individually polished before stickers, handles, hinges and latches are fitted. Each lid is adjusted and trimmed to fit the box before a final inspection is done, and then they are packed.

The same process applies to the making of the fibreglass lids. The Fisherman Lids are cut from HDPE plastic on a jig, and then fitted with the appropriate EVA foam which creates the seal between the box and the lid.

The Light Chiller range is made of a high density foam, along with a waterproof membrane for anti-slip and sealing purposes. They have stainless steel handles with EVA foam grips, and make use of our nylon lids.

Safari Chillers range from 1.5L to 85L.
