Fan Guard for Refrigerator
14/03/2024
This happened in a small refrigerator in a mobile pizza sales truck. The protective cover for the fan circulating air is broken. The metal blades threaten hands when accessing it.

The appliance is old; spare parts are unavailable. The refrigerator is built into the truck. Changing the refrigerator means changing the truck…
There are 3 holes in the refrigerator’s inner ceiling around the fan.

Numerunique created a new cover with custom-designed pegs. The cover is laser-cut polycarbonate, and pegs are 3D-printed with flexible material.

The transparent polycarbonate nut has dual use: adds to cover height and allows screwing fixings by blocking the peg.
The cover consists of horizontal structures glued with vertical uprights designed for sequential assembly:

The hardware is stainless steel, of course.
Attention to detail is a numerunique hallmark.
