Mobile dispensary made from Multiplex

What is Multiplex?

Multiplex is an extremely durable material. We have been developing our installations over 20 years and have been able to assure practitioners of the quality of our workmanship. Multiplex can be easily manipulated and offers:

• protection from heat
• protection from cold
• resitance to humidity, common alkaline solutions, acids and medication
• hygiene by means of non-abrasive, smooth surfaces.

Multiplex is not a timber but a special board made from pressed, homogenous layers of veneer.

Six main points in favour of the Multiplex dispensary:

Weight

The general perception that mobile dispensaries made from aluminium are much lighter is incorrect. This has been confirmed through independent weight measurements. An installation using Multiplex and on the same scale as one using aluminium differs only around five percent from the latter. A note of caution, when looking at weight one should ensure to compare "apples with apples".

Hygiene

Mobile dispensaries manufactured from aluminium tend to become black and hence, prescription medication will also take on a black appearance, whereas the Multiplex mobile dispensary remains neutral, clean and leaves your client with a professional impression of you.

No rattles

If there is rattling during a car journey, this tends to be annoying. Our Multiplex dispensaries are equipped with heavy duty drawer slides which are tolerance-free, incorporate ball bearings and are designed for loads of 30kg per drawer (or up to 60kg with drawer lengths of between 125cm to 150cm). The drawers can be opened completely and are removable (significant in the event of removing the mobile dispensary).

Locking mechanism

During your car journey you suddenly remember that you have forgotten to close a drawer. No problem, you simply step onto your brake for a moment and after a soft "click" your drawer is shut again. Practical heavy duty locks, equipped with high quality t-handles, which guarantee a long lifespan.

Insulation

Compared to metal, "Multiplex" is a poor thermal conductor. Due to the "thermos flask effect" there is additional insulation in the form of air layers trapped between the drawer and the external wall (cavity).

Fabrication method/Stability

All joints of the basic box are fixed with screws, tongue & grooved and glued. Therefore, we are able to guarantee many years of stability. Another advantage is that forces, which normally affect the structure during a journey are absorbed, whereas rigid metal construction may result in material fatigue and tearing of the metal.
