How Customer Input Turned Arctic Fox Into the Cadillac of Micro Bulks

Written by Greg Richardson | Aug 30, 2024 1:55:06 PM

Ratermann has built a strong reputation of being the reliable solutions provider for a wide range of cryogenic and compressed gas applications, and a lot of those solutions are driven directly by input from our customers. 

The Arctic Fox micro bulks are an excellent case study. We’re now on our third generation of Arctic Fox tanks, which have proven to be the most reliable and durable micro bulks for the last several years. To get here, we sent National Sales Manager Craig Pagano out on the road about eight years ago to visit distributors and find out about their biggest pain points on the existing micro bulk tanks they were working with. He also asked them what features they would incorporate if they could design an ideal micro bulk. 

That wish list was presented to the engineering team, who created the generation of Arctic Fox micro bulks that we still sell today. And the fact that we’re still selling the same models means that not only was our research good, the components we incorporated were timeless. 

Why Arctic Fox is the Cadillac of Micro Bulks

There are a handful of features that make our Arctic Fox micro bulks a superior option in the marketplace:

  • Stainless steel, mirror finish not only stands out, but is an ideal background for your company branding. Easily apply a large sticker with your logo for strong brand recognition.
  • DV6R vacuum probe is standard on all tanks, making it easy and fast to check the vacuum.
  • Telemetry-ready design with mounting plate already installed.
  • Herose diverter valves on every tank, with redundant ½-inch ASME relief with pipeaway and burst disc.
  • Generant BLD pressure builders and Swagelock standard on every tank, for longevity and compatibility with every aspect of the industry.
  • Top and bottom fill capabilities for faster fills, enabling more deliveries and decreasing labor hours.
  • Galvanized pallet tank base with built-in forking slots, access holes for bolting.
  • 1,500, 2,000, 3,000, 6,000, 7,500, and 8,100 liter sizes ready for quick shipping.
