Rota Design and Rota Design and a project for Hubbard Transport Refrigeration Solutions.



Based in Suffolk, East Anglia, UK, Hubbard Transport Refrigeration Solutions prepared a design brief to re-engineer the cover for the Alpha 390 range of refrigeration units. The unit is specifically designed for panel vans and box bodies to transport chilled and frozen produce. The cover had to be aesthetically pleasing to match the contours of a typical transit van whilst retaining the ability to house the internal components with due regard for maintenance requirements.

Following exhaustive investigation, rotational moulding in polyethylene provided a cost effective solution in comparison to traditional manufacturing methods and with a variety of benefits. Hubbard provided the 3D CAD data for the internal components to enable Rota Design to accurately determine the most effective use of the available space and shape using advanced surfacing and solid modeling techniques.
