Pharmacy Coldrooms

Pharmacy coldrooms are specialised refrigerated spaces designed to provide precise temperature control for the safe storage of medicines, vaccines, blood products and other temperature-sensitive products.

In clinical settings, where products stored are sensitive, vital and often highly valuable, refrigeration has to be 100% reliable. British manufacturer Williams has over four decades of experience in designing and manufacturing coldrooms. The company’s Medi+ range of coldrooms is specifically designed for applications in hospitals, laboratories, care homes, surgeries, vets and other similarly critical sites, particularly for pharmaceutical applications.

From precise temperature controls to bespoke racking and vibration free test rooms, Medi+ incorporates the technologies and features to ensure products, however sensitive, are stored safely.

Flexible Pharmacy Coldroom Configurations

Williams pharmacy coldrooms are designed around the individual requirements of each site. Modular construction allows the coldroom to be precisely configured to suit the available space while maximising storage capacity.

Temperature settings can be controlled with a high level of accuracy, helping to maintain the conditions required for the safe storage of medicines, vaccines, blood products and other temperature-sensitive products.

A wide range of options are available including different types of doors and floors as well as  accessories such as viewing panels, bumper rails and shelving. This flexibility allows each pharmacy coldroom to be specified according to the application, available space and storage requirements.

Reliable Temperature Control

Williams’ Medi+ pharmacy coldrooms feature high performance insulation to help maintain a consistent internal temperature. The floor, walls and roof panels have tongue and groove joints that are camlocked together to form a robust structure and a tight thermal envelope, helping to minimise heat loss, energy consumption and running costs.

For additional protection, the coldrooms can be specified with either 100% backup or two 60% refrigeration systems operating in tandem. With 100% backup, two separate systems run alternately, while the 60% configuration provides additional refrigeration capacity should one system require attention.

The control panel features visual and audible high and low temperature alarms and can be connected to remote monitoring systems that can send alerts, to ensure any issue is quickly dealt with.

Complete Project Support

Designing and installing coldrooms is a complex business, which is why Williams offers a complete project service. This includes free surveys across all UK mainland sites and, if required, on-site training. Support is available throughout the process, from design to formal specification, through to installation. A comprehensive aftercare package includes 24/7 emergency service support and planned maintenance, ensuring peace of mind that the critical equipment will work at peak efficiency, with downtime reduced to a bare minimum.

Given the value and critical nature of the products being stored, all Medi+ coldrooms are fitted with lockable doors.

Trusted across the UK

The reliability and flexibility of Williams Medi+ coldrooms is underlined by their use in sites across the UK, including Borders General Hospital, where they are used for vaccine and medicine storage, Beatson Research Institute, Darlington Hospital, for medicine storage, and Leeds General Infirmary, for blood sample analysis.
