How Much Do Pharmaceutical Cold Rooms Cost?

Pharmaceutical cold rooms typically cost from around £5,000 to £20,000, depending on size and specifications. Factors such as customisation, temperature range, and installation complexity can influence the final price.

When determining the cost, it is important to consider the insulation materials used, such as polyurethane panels for optimal thermal regulation. The type of cooling system, like a split or central system, also plays a crucial role in pricing.

Compliance with regulatory standards like the MHRA and GDP for medicinal storage is vital, often adding to the overall expense. Small rooms for clinics may fall on the lower end, while large-scale facilities with automated monitoring systems and backup power supplies will likely be more costly.

How Long Does Installation Take?

The installation of a pharmaceutical cold room typically takes between two to four weeks, covering initial design planning and on-site building. This timeframe encompasses several steps, including the selection and configuration of suitable insulation materials like polyurethane foam to ensure optimal thermal performance.

We also integrate essential components such as precise temperature control systems and refrigeration units that meet regulatory standards like MHRA and EU-GMP. Custom specifications or elaborate designs, such as specialised temperature zones for different drugs, may extend the timeframe slightly. Our experienced team coordinates with certified engineers and electricians to maintain precise installation protocols.

We aim to complete the setup as efficiently as possible with minimal disruption, ensuring seamless integration with your existing operations. For further details or to schedule an installation, please get in touch with us.

How Long Do Pharmaceutical Cold Rooms Last?

Our pharmaceutical cold rooms typically last 10 to 15 years, provided they are maintained with regular servicing. To ensure their efficient operation, we recommend routine inspections for insulation integrity and checking for leaks using ultrasonic leak detectors.

Temperature probes should be calibrated regularly to prevent deviations from the set range, which could compromise product safety. Addressing wear and tear is crucial; components such as door seals and compressors may require periodic replacement to maintain optimal functionality.

Using materials like stainless steel for shelving and aluminium panelling helps in resisting corrosion and extending lifecycle. By adhering to Good Distribution Practice (GDP) guidelines, we help keep the cold rooms compliant with industry safety standards.

Having a service contract, which includes preventive maintenance and emergency support, can help extend the lifespan and maintain reliability. Contact us for more details.
