Rapidcool “V-tex” is capable of cooling a single can from room temperature to 4 degree in under 50s, beating other known technologies Has already been adapted to simultaneously cool small batches of drinks, thus achieving even faster vend times, and meeting higher demand. Just been told I shouldn't use a prep machine for bottle feeding (having some tummy issues and difficulty settling after a feed) Use with tap water: There is no need to use bottled or filtered water, our filter features a filtration membrane designed to remove bacteria, impurities and contaminants To make the night feed, mix the formula with some hot water, give it a shake and then add the cold water. This safely kills bacteria in the formula while bringing the milk to drinking temperature straight away. It does the same thing as the Perfect Prep machine but this way you know you're using hot enough water (which is the issue with the Prep machine).

Agreements are already in place to set-up future production of the system, and a family of related products has already begun to form targeting domestic use in addition to commercial/ retail use. The developments have already resulted in 2 granted patents with a further 2 pending. These have been filed throughout the world based on the broad global appeal of the technology. RapidCool™ makes one feed at a time as it needs cleaning and sterilising between uses. We have designed the RapidCool™ so that you have the flexibility of feed sizes between 90ml-240ml (3oz-8oz) as your baby grows. There are seven measurement markers located inside the flask between 60ml and 240ml.Two separate control systems were developed. Initially the development of a control regime led to the development of a control algorithm which would “intelligently” implement the optimum cooling regime based on a number of parameters such as temperature, materials, volumes etc... As a result of this work a patent was filled based on the controlled cooling process. The first control system was based on a single can system, and a further “multi-can “control system was developed with additional features. For example this would not only operate automatically during normal, consumer use, but would enter into an alternative operating state during low periods of demand. We recommend that the feed is used immediately (as soon as the Nuby light turns green and indicates the feed has cooled sufficiently), as per the NHS guidelines. Is able to cool a single can from room temperature to 4 degree in under 50s – beating other known technologies. This is novel, efficient, easy to maintain, safe, hygienic and cost effective to produce. The system is capable of coping with the loads of the system, and can be easily adapted to suit different capacity machines. This has not only been demonstrated within the project, but further development outside of the project has already begun to produce a more compact system for domestic use. Also to demonstrate that the technology is scalable without incurring problems e.g. multiple cooling chambers would increase cost and bulk of equipment and multiple vortices may cause interference between cans. Different mechanics Capable of cooling four cans simultaneously with no more than 33% increase in cooling time per can, guaranteeing shorter waiting times under high demand.

RapidCool™ is the innovative new way to prepare a bottle feed that conforms to NHS guidelines, so you can be assured it is safe for you and your little one. We’ve put all of our energy and know-how into a game-changing formula feeding solution that rapidly cools down a feed in only 2 minutes*, so you’re always ready to serve, wherever you are.

WARNING:Adult use only. Inspect before each use and throw away at signs of damage or weakness. When making up a feed, follow the formula milk manufacturer's instructions. Do not use in microwave. Always allow RapidCool™ to reset before use and handling. Handle RapidCool™ carefully as the bottle base will heat up when in use. Moving forward under the “V-Tex” trademark, the technology has already obtained considerable interest from some world leading, multinational cooperation’s. The Rapidcool project has already demonstrated that “V-Tex”: Utilising water as a cooling medium, the project was able to cool consistent and Rapidly. The optimum results vary depending on the type of product and container used. However for a typical 330ml can of soft drink the Rapidcool prototype consistently cooled in under 50s. The concept of achieving this is based on the generation and disruption of a vortex through spinning the beverage at high speeds. However the ultimate attainment of such a fast cooling rate was based on careful optimisation; the development resulted in a number of inventive steps which have now been patented. In short the developments resulted in an optimised process which combines, water submersion, spinning at optimised speeds, supplementary motions and cycle interruption. The exploitation partners have established close working relationships with some global (multi-billion Euro) beverage suppliers. A formal relationship has been formed with one company which itself has demanding energy reduction targets, exceeding regulatory requirements imposed by the EC. They are very interested in adopting the Rapidcool technology as one of their steps to achieving these. The strategy is for these beverage distributors to procure the large numbers of the commercial system and to provide these to select retail outlets. This could see very effective market penetration, and the widespread adoption would lead to significant energy savings. This approach is a major focus of the exploitation strategy and should lead to broad dissemination to the general public

Can operate autonomously with existing controls showing that this is simple and fast to use, controlling the cooling profile and incorporating some key safety features: Designed for 90ml-240ml (3oz-8oz) feed sizes, you have the flexibility to increase feed sizes as your baby grows. RapidCool is compact, stylish, and portable, perfect for transporting around or storing discretely. It’s also super easy to clean, making it the best all round solution for busy parents. Can I mix formula with the boiled water immediately or do I have to wait for the water to cool down to 70°C? Can operate autonomously with existing controls showing that this is simple and fast to use, controlling the cooling profile and incorporating some key safety features.Multi-Can - Simultaneously cooling of small batches to achieve even faster vend times, and satisfy higher demand: The Rapidcool project overcame some fundamental research and development barriers and ultimately produced a range of demonstrable prototypes boasting major benefits and meets or exceeded its objectives. No, you don’t have to wait! The freshly boiled water can and should be used immediately for the safest feed. The NHS guidelines state that the water should be no less than 70°C, but this does not mean that you must wait for it to reach this temperature first before mixing with formula. Mixing formula with freshly boiled water is the safest way to feed, as it ensures any harmful bacteria are eliminated! Highly recommend the following method. This is what I do and I have the night feed made up in less than a minute. Is currently able to meet a large number of “End User” requirements, and offers even greater potential:

Sleep friendly: With a clear digital display, adjustable volume control and soft-glow lights, preparing a bottle in the dark has never been easier Additional steps have been outlined and some are in motion to further development towards a market ready system. The journey towards “family of V-Tex” products is already underway having used the successes of the project as justification for further investment outside of the project. This has started with the development of a domestic unit which is well underway and the concept is also to develop an “in fridge” system. These should hit the market sooner than the finished commercial system and importantly will deliver benefits direct to the general public. The marketing material and growing supply chain should help to increase market awareness of the “V-Tex” technology and it is anticipated that revenue from sales of the domestic units will help to fund further development and improvements of the system.

Energy savings of over 80% compared with typical refrigeration systems could lead to significant savings if widely adopted. These will not only benefit the wider community, but offer distinct advantages to users who face increasing targets for energy reduction. In addition the energy reduction can provide cost savings for retailers and consumers alike. This was one of the primary justifications for the project, and based on both the technical progress and the dissemination work within the project, some major industrial partners/ customers have been already been attracted based on this appeal. Validate of energy usage of prototype. To achieve an overall energy saving equivalent to >60-80% of vending machine energy consumption (for refrigeration)
