About Penguin Thermokrou

Penguin ass eng Thermokrou an der Form vun engem Polarpinguin. De ronne Kierper an d'geneigte Form ginn der Krou en waarmt a frëndlecht Ausgesinn. De Grëff ass senkrecht zum Schwéierpunkt gesat, sou datt d'Krou no vir kippt wa se gehale gëtt an einfach vu Kanner an eeleren Leit benotzt ka ginn. De Front vum Deckel ass wéi e Schniewel erop gezunn, fir de Stëbs vun der Ausgëssöffnung ewechzehalen. Deen erop gezunnen hënneschten Deel vum Deckel mécht et einfach de Deckel opzeschrauwen. D'Schuel ass aus Polypropylen gemaach, an de koppervergëllten dubbele Glasbehälter hält d'Waasser sechs Stonne laang op 80 Grad Celsius.

The front end of lid is raised like a penguin beak to prevent dust from falling into the spout. The back end of lid is raised to help users to screw the lid easily.The glass copper-plated inner tank can keep water 80°C after 6 hours,hot enough for tea or coffee

Production Technology: The shell is made of PP and with a round shape, it can protect the inner glass tank well. The water tank is made of copper-plated double layer glass and its mouth is very small, so it has very good insulation performance.
Design Challenge: The most difficult part is to find a way to make people feel warm from a ordinary materail.
Research: According to our research,warmth is not only a feeling of touching, but also a feeling in mind,that means a product can look warm sometimes. So when we designed this jug,we paid more attention to people's feeling about warmth. Holding this jug is like touching a penguin in Antarctica.
Inspiration: In the winter,we need to hold the cold handle to get hot water from thermos.We would like to provide people a thermo jug,which can not only keep inside warm,but also look warm from outside. A penguin comes out to our mind,it lives in the extremely cold South pole,but its chubby and lovely body is still warm.We hope this jug can bring warmth to you in the deep mind.
Project Duration: It started in November 2018 in Hangzhou China and finished in July 2019.It has been sold more than 45000 pieces online during the past half year.
Operation Flow: Its handle is set perpendicular to the center of gravity, and when people hold it, it naturally tilts forward and can be easily used by both the elderly and children. The button on the top can control flow of water.
