Pharmaceutical & Medical
Do you work in the pharmaceutical and medical industry?
If so, you’ll understand the vital importance of medical cold storage at the correct temperatures – for both regulatory and legislative compliance but for patient safety, too.
Choose MTCSS pharmaceutical cold rooms, and you guarantee that the patient is protected, the ‘cold chain’ is maintained, and that you have ample storage space for easy stock takes and rotations.
Whether you are a pharmaceutical manufacturer, a hospital, a medical establishment, or a pharmacy, given our industry expertise and vast experience, we can find you exactly what you are looking for.
Who Needs Cold Storage for Pharmaceuticals?
If your site manufactures, stores, or dispenses medications, bespoke pharmaceutical cold storage makes day-to-day business requirements simple and easy.
Suitable locations, businesses, and healthcare types include:
- Hospices and hospitals
- Large care facilities like nursing homes or care homes
- Pharmacies
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing
- Pharmaceutical distribution
- Research centres
Bespoke Pharma Cold Storage for the Pharmaceutical & Medical Industry
Pharmaceutical and medical products require a specific temperature range to ensure they aren’t damaged or spoiled, which could result in costly losses.
Depending on your pharmaceutical product or application, different temperature-controlled environments may be required. Our solutions can be designed for ambient, chilled, or frozen storage, with operating temperatures and tolerances tailored to the specific requirements of the product.
Our range can accommodate a wide range of conditions, from ambient and chilled temperatures from 0°C to +5°C, through to deep-freeze applications down to -40°C.
Where particularly strict temperature tolerances are required, we can provide bespoke temperature control, monitoring and alarm systems designed around the individual application.
Likewise, for critical pharmaceutical applications where temperature continuity is essential, redundant refrigeration systems can also be incorporated, providing 100% refrigeration back-up in the event of a primary system failure – helping to protect valuable products and maintain controlled conditions.
How are Pharmaceutical Cold Room Temperatures Protected?
The required temperature and environmental conditions are achieved through a combination of:
- High-performance insulated panels
- Specialist refrigeration systems
- Temperature controls
- Cold room floors and doors
- Appropriate room construction
Panel thickness is selected according to the operating temperature, room size, ambient conditions, and specific requirements of the application.
For chilled pharmaceutical storage, insulated panels can be configured to provide the required thermal performance, while lower-temperature and freezer applications typically require increased insulation thickness to minimise heat transfer and maintain stable internal conditions.
Freezer and low-temperature storage environments also require carefully specified insulated cold room flooring, thresholds, doors and associated components to maintain thermal efficiency and minimise air leakage.
Our insulated anti-slip flooring systems and specialist cold room doors can be designed as part of the complete solution, helping to maintain the required temperature and provide a durable, safe and hygienic environment.
The correct door specification also helps maintain temperature stability and minimise heat transfer and air leakage, while providing safe and efficient access for personnel, pallets, roll cages, and handling equipment.
We offer a range of insulated hinged, sliding and high-speed doors, with the specification selected according to the application, operating temperature, frequency of use, and access requirements.
Our hinged and sliding doors are suitable for pharmaceutical cold rooms, freezers, and controlled environments requiring pedestrian, pallet or roll-cage access. Door configurations can include:
• Insulated hinged doors
• Double-leaf hinged doors
• Sliding doors
• Vertical sliding doors
• Hygienic and easy-clean door solutions
• Specialist doors for chilled and frozen environments
• Fire-rated options where required and subject to the relevant specification
Door construction, seals, thresholds, and hardware can all be selected to suit the temperature-controlled environment and the operational requirements of the facility.
Where there are high levels of traffic or frequent access by forklifts and other handling equipment, high-speed and rapid-rise doors can help minimise the time the temperature-controlled environment is exposed to ambient conditions.
Our range includes insulated high-speed doors for chilled and frozen applications, together with specialist laboratory and cleanable door solutions designed with enhanced sealing and hygiene in mind.
For pharmaceutical applications, door selection can be incorporated into the overall room design to ensure the door, insulation, refrigeration, and temperature-control systems work together to maintain the required environmental conditions.
Benefits of Choosing MTCSS Pharmaceutical and Medical Cold Rooms
At MTCSS, we ensure your products are protected by taking into consideration every aspect of your pharmaceutical cooling systems and cold storage needs.
This benefits you by:
Offering precision temperatures and bespoke cold storage design
No matter how awkward your site, your budget, or your regulatory requirements, our innovative temperature-controlled specialists will design refrigeration and air conditioning that meet all of your specific requirements.
Considering all aspects of design
Often overlooked elements, like lighting, may not be given enough thought when it comes to cold storage design. Lights can emit heat, which can affect internal temperatures, which is why MTCSS select the highest quality LED lighting made specifically for temperature-controlled environments.
Giving peace of mind with back-up refrigeration
100% back up ensures that in the case of a refrigeration/air-con unit failure, a second back-up unit will kick in, ensuring there is no downtime or changes in internal temperature – and absolutely no spoilage or lost stock.
Allowing for remote monitoring
Specifying for remote monitoring allows you to check the cold room’s temperature and its status at all times, before altering it remotely if required.
MTCSS work with you to understand how best to protect your products and your people by providing innovative solutions, the highest quality products and ongoing service.
