Insulated Tubs & Ice Boxes in UAE
An insulated tub is a commercial ice box: a rigid plastic container with insulated walls that keeps fish, seafood, poultry and other perishables cold on ice while they are stored, moved or displayed. Commercial tubs are made for daily use in markets, processing areas, kitchens and catering operations, which is a different job from the picnic coolers sold for camping and the beach. Alfa Plastic supplies the AFT 100 insulated tub and ice box in the UAE, with external dimensions of 812 x 533 x 430 mm and an internal space of 743 x 464 x 330 mm.

Commercial Ice Box or Consumer Cooler?
Retail coolers in the UAE typically hold 25 to 60 litres and are designed for occasional trips. A commercial insulated tub is sized for bulk product and ice and for repeated filling, emptying and washing through the working day. If you need a cool box for a family outing, a retail cooler will do. If you are moving fish from a boat to a market or holding ice for a banquet every day, a commercial tub is the right tool.
Where Insulated Tubs Are Used
Fish and seafood trading and processing, poultry and dairy farms, food production, hotel and catering kitchens, and beverage service at events, where tubs hold ice in bulk.
Working with Crates, Pallets and Handling Equipment
Insulated tubs are usually one part of a cold handling chain. Product is graded into plastic crates, stored on hygiene pallets rated from -20°C to +30°C, and full tubs are moved with a platform trolley or hand pallet truck rather than carried.
