The Flex-Box Patented SUPER VENTILATOR
- The design of the traditional standard container ventilator is over thirty years old and rather antiquated. Now however Flex-Box have developed and patented a new high airflow ventilator.
- This super ventilator can be installed at the factory in China and still be shipped as cargo whilst meeting ISO standards. The benefit of this is that there is no need to retrofit ventilators at the box’s destination.
- In order to facilitate a natural airflow that ranges from warm days to cold nights, we recommend installing four ventilators - two positioned low at the door and two high at the front. However we can custom install as many ventilators as required.
- Each ventilator costs USD 5.00, so USD 20.00 for a container with four. This price includes installation.
- In order to highlight this feature within the box the ventilators can be customised in any contrast colour of your choice.
Patent Number ZL 2019203322611.
