Stainless Steel Triple Compartment Cold Room for Food & Drink Manufacturing
Stainless Steel Cold Room Installation
When a specialist consultancy in resource efficiency need someone to supply and install a controlled contamination room – they contact cold room solution specialists MTCSS.
Our customer required a solution to suit an environment with high risk processes for a manufacturer of food flavourings and extracts.
They required two triple compartment clean rooms, with forklift access and sliding curtains in a high risk environment. As part of the brief, MTCSS needed a solution to fit a 40kg mixer motor to the wall whilst adhering to the health and safety standards of a controlled environment. Not only that – but we were also tasked with building a compartment to allow forklift access to a chemical tank at a height of 4 metres.
Alongside these challenges, we were required to complete the project from site survey to project completion and hand over in just 4 weeks.
Clean rooms require a controlled level of contamination and low level of environmental pollutants, such as dust and airborne microbes, so MTCSS’ build needed to adhere to all regulations.
Before the commencement of the build, the complications of the mixer motor and the access required to the tank needed to be considered. To mount the motor the MTCSS team fixed stainless steel L brackets into the block work wall – this needed to be complete prior to building the rooms in order to cut and fit the panels around the brackets (image top right.)
The team built the non-temperature controlled triple compartment rooms with stainless steel panels – using stainless steel instead of the standard white food safe laminate to avoid stains from the chemicals used in production. The Kingspan panels used were also all 30 minute fire rated.
The customer required one of the clean room compartments to have forklift access to move chemicals at a height of 4 metres – MTCSS’ solution was to build a higher section in the structure to allow the tank to fit underneath, with space above the tank for the forklift to gain access (image bottom right).
The raised area was supported by the existing steel work of the building using top hat steel support and steel drop rods, creating the floating raised ceiling.
Sliding curtains were fitted making all compartments easily accessible and to accommodate forklifts. For the raised section a triple sliding curtain was needed for entry to both sections of the compartment.
MTCSS worked closely with the client to achieve a solution to their needs – resulting in two triple compartment clean rooms, successfully delivered within the tight four week time schedule.

Bert De Mooij, Bespoke Chiller Cold Room for Q Flowers Ltd 2021
From coming into contact with MTCSS to the finished product, has been a great and easy process.
The members of the team listened to our wishes and offered us exactly what we needed. From picking the type of cooler machines, the doors, the lights - everything was exactly adjusted to our wishes.
Even though through the COVID period where availability of materials were challenging, the cold room was finished on the date as was planned when signing for the order.
Very professional company from start to finish.
Catherine Hester Fenwick, Ambient storage at Brabourne Wines 2021
‘Brabourne Wine is a small, family run vineyard in Kent. In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a Conservation Area and with listed buildings, we needed to find a solution to store our wine without building afresh or making any material differences to the current buildings. MTCSS were amazingly flexible. They worked with us to develop a solution that fitted inside one of our outbuildings. Given the limitations on space and the requirement to have racking suitable for pallets, virtually everything about the project had to be bespoke but Darren never lost patience with the endless queries in the planning phase. Once on site, the team was professional, friendly, flexible and quick. They have delivered a solution which is perfect for our needs and exceeds our expectations. We are at the smaller end of their usual customer base, but we were never made to feel as though we were any less important than a major supermarket chain. We would certainly recommend them to anybody needing a controlled climate for storage (or any other reason)’

Dual Compartment Cold Room Installation, London
From the beginning I found Gem’s customer service fantastic, out of all of the companies we spoke to for quotes she was the most responsive and attentive. Even when we were still finalising and it wasn’t confirmed if we were proceeding with MTCSS yet, she was always great with keeping in contact to see if we needed anything, and very responsive with emails, and also phone calls.
Andy and Nathan, have been great throughout the entire process. Both have been on hand for any queries we have had and very responsive again to all forms of communication. Everything has been handled promptly and efficiently both before, during and after the build. Any questions we have had they have always gotten back to us with an answer very quickly.
The gentlemen who completed the install here on site, where very friendly and mindful of business operations while completing work. Each day they would check in with who was here in the morning to explain what they would be doing, what access they required, and asked if and how this might affect our operations or customers. Again, they were very clear and open with communication and was happy to help find solutions when we had issues with the shelving.
Overall our experience with you has been very good and we have been left a happy customer. I would also just like to say a thank you to yourself Gem, Nathan and Andy as you have all been very great throughout our customer journey!
