Thermos with tap Stalgast 053200

A thermos of this type keeps liquids at serving temperature without external heat or refrigeration. The double walls create an insulating air gap that slows the transfer of heat. Hot liquids stay warm longer, and cold liquids remain chilled, allowing bulk transport from the kitchen to the service point without reheating or re-cooling. The air gap is sealed within the walls, so the unit does not rely on a vacuum but on the low conductivity of still air to maintain temperature over several hours.

To use the thermos, the operator fills it through the top opening, then closes the lid to seal the insulation. The non-drip tap at the base allows controlled dispensing without spills or drips, even when the container is tilted. The tap is operated by a lever that opens the valve inside the body, letting the liquid flow only while the lever is held. When the lever is released, the valve closes and the flow stops immediately, preventing waste or mess on the worktop.

The body is moulded in one piece from low-density polyethylene approved for food contact. This material is lightweight, impact-resistant and recyclable, making it suitable for daily use in a busy kitchen. The double walls are fused together in a monobloc design, eliminating seams that could weaken or trap food residue. The exterior surface is smooth and easy to wipe clean, while the interior is non-porous and does not absorb flavours or odours.

The 20 litre volume allows bulk storage of soups, sauces, hot beverages or chilled drinks, reducing the number of trips between the kitchen and the service area. The footprint of 295 by 420 millimetres fits on most worktops or trolleys, while the height of 675 millimetres keeps the tap at a comfortable dispensing level without requiring the operator to bend.

Cleaning is limited to the surfaces the entry names. The interior and exterior can be washed with warm water and detergent, then rinsed and dried. The tap should be flushed through after each use to prevent residue from drying inside the valve. The lid must be removed for thorough cleaning, and the seal around the rim checked for food particles that could break the insulation seal.

The thermos is supplied as a single unit with no variants or accessories named in the entry.
