Frequently Asked Questions

Cold rooms and freezer rooms are built inside warehouses, factories, shops, containers and houses. You’ll need at least a level concrete floor to install on and a canopy over the entire unit to keep it from direct sun and elements and sufficient electricity.

A Cold room (+1°C to 101°C ) or Freezer ( -15°C to -30°C) room is an insulated and refrigerated space that is temperature controlled to aid in the preserving products that require cold temperatures. Specialized cold rooms and freezer rooms for specific products require specific temperatures to preserve the product better, Like for instance vegetables require 5°C and blast freezer -25 to -35°C.

This depends on the size of the cold or freezer room and accessories involved. (As example a simple 9m x 9m room can easily be completed in +-3 weeks)

Each room is custom designed to suit the application of the specific customer. The following aspects are considered when designing the room: 1) What size room do you need? (length x width x height) (dependant on space you have available and volume of product you would like to store.) 2) What product is stored in the cold or freezer room? 3) Volume of product entering daily? (In Kg) 4) Total volume to be stored? (In Kg) 5) Temperature at which product will be entering? (degrees Celsius) 6) Temperature required? (std +1 °C for cold rooms and -20°C for freezer rooms) 7) Time required to get product down to required temperature? (Pull down time of product, standard is 24hrs 8) Door size required? (Std hinge- 900 x 2000mm. Std slide- 2400 x 2400)(any other size required) 9) Location of installation. (State and city).

On the small range: 2.4mx 2.4m or 3.6m x 2.4m or 3.6m x 3.6m or 4.8m x 3.6m or 4.8m x 4.8m On the larger range: These can be custom built to any size required.

The condensing unit is placed outside, connected to the internal evaporator blower coil with copper tubing and wiring.

This will depend on the size of the compressor or condensing unit.

All rooms are pre manufactured and flat packed in our factory to allow ease of installation on site with a minimum cutting and modification needed on site. Installations are clean and quick.

Our teams will start with the construction of the insulated structure first. Once the main structure is standing, they will start installing the refrigeration equipment, finally the team continues with trimmings and finishing of the insulated structure until full commissioning of system.

The cold room will be delivered as a flat packed modular system that will be moved into the required space as pre-manufactured pieces and assembled inside the required area.

Yes, we can design the cold and freezer room to operate at your required temperature

Refrigeration units require 1Phase 220V or 3Phase 380V systems. Typical domestic units will run off a 1Phase supply. Any system larger than a 2HP will need a 3Phase 380V supply. We will specify the amp required for each system.

This can be customized and designed to suit your requirement and application. We will consider the product heat load, quantity, weight and required cool down time when calculating the cooling capacity requirement of the cold room or freezer room.

Certainly not if the cold room is designed correctly. Our units are designed to operate in the harshest African ambient and will on hot days continue to cool and preserve your product!
