ARCTICart™ – Thermally Insulated In-Flight Cart Innovative Solution for chiller-free Galleys and multi-segment Catering ARCTICart™ by Bucher is an ATLAS in-flight cart developed for the storage and transport of chilled meals which achieves: Full compatibility With internal and external dimensions of ATLAS standard (i.e. drawers / trays and galley garage). Self-contained thermal insulation No need of external support like air chillers or dry-ice as coolant. Maximum payload Internal usable space is not reduced by cooling cassettes or extra insulation material. How does ARCTICart™ work? Equipped with a high performing thermal insulation ARCTICart™ is able to keep its content chilled for an extended period of time. Passive thermal shields combined with an optimized structural design keeps the initial temperature of food and drinks stable and low. Its autarkic refrigeration concept relies on minimizing heat leakage between cart interior and external environment. ∆T of less than 4 °C (39 °F) over 20 hours without dry ice! Pre-conditioned chilled payload warms-up very slowly Aircraft Inter

Benefits ARCTICart™ is available in ATLAS half-size and full-size. ARCTICart™ enables a fully-mechanical, passive, safe and dry food preservation method. Return or multi-segment catering strategy with ARCTICart™ enables yearly cost savings per flight route between $50,000 and $100,000. Optimized volumetric capacity: up to 7 standard drawers can be stored in one half-size ARCTICart™ Optional ice-shelf stretches the thermal preservation capacity if needed (extra-long TAT between flights, longer routes) Hard exoskeleton out of aluminum for maximum resistance at lighter weight Door system and...
