Description
Bigmouth Funnels™ are manufactured in 2 sizes from 0.6mm Australian made Promeg polypropylene sheets of various colours. The flat cutouts can then be folded into a funnel that is held in shape using a specially designed integrated clip. The funnels are then used to transfer food and other products from one container to another.
Key Features
and/or Benefits
The first words people use to describe the funnels are: "What a simple design!". Richard Branson once described complexity "as your enemy. Anyone can make something complicated. It is hard to make something simple". Some of the benefits of the design has been that the funnels are relatively easy and inexpensive to manufacture.
Available in 2 sizes: Anyone who has tried to refill a pepper grinder will immediately identify with this product. What was once a messy task has now been made easy . The larger of the 2 funnels was design to make the task of bottling jams etc. much more simple. The funnel's large mouth is designed to allow for the easy through flow of foodstuffs such as pepper corns, salt, rice, oats, jams etc - unlike conventional funnel spouts which have been designed to cater for liquids. The funnels also can be adjusted to suite different sized containers.
The funnels pack flat - a surprising feature considering their function. In today's world where space is at a premium such a feature is desired by consumers - both commercial and domestic. Their bright colours means the funnels can be easily seen in the bottom of a drawer when needed. Because of their small size and easy storage capability they can be taken on camping trips, kept in the car etc.
Made from food grade Australian manufactured Promeg Polypropylene, one of the strongest plastics available, the funnels will give years of use. Promeg Polypropylene also has the following features: contains no plasticizers, no leachable components; no lead, no heavy metals and no toxins are given off when burnt. Promeg does not propagate bacterial growth, is impervious to common contaminants eg: coffee, tea or orange juice and is not affected by cleaning agents. Promeg is dishwasher safe and can withstand temperatures up to 160 degrees C.
Their simple design, their bright colours and the magical way they transform from a simple 2 D object into classical 3 D cone means that Bigmouth Funnels™ are fun.
