Refrigerated and Deep Freezer Containers for Pharmaceutical Cold Chains
The Standard range of refrigerated and deep-freezer containers manufactured by GABLER offers a dependable, efficient, and flexible solution for expanding cold storage capacity in pharmaceutical and chemical applications. Designed to deliver stable temperatures from +30 °C down to -30 °C, these containers ensure sensitive products remain protected throughout storage, processing, and logistics. Whether used for raw material staging, intermediate product storage, or packaging workflows, they provide a robust cold chain infrastructure that can be deployed quickly and seamlessly. From compact 10-foot modules to high-capacity 35-foot Plus units, these containers offer an advanced turnkey solution for maintaining temperature-sensitive goods.
With high-performance cooling systems, thick insulation, and load-bearing floors of up to 1,000 kg/m², these containers combine durability with precision temperature control. Their modular design and versatile installation options make them suitable for a wide range of operating environments, from stand-alone outdoor setups to integration within existing production facilities.
Refrigerated & Deep-Freezer Containers for Pharmaceuticals
In the pharmaceutical and chemical sectors, temperature stability is non-negotiable. Medicines, vaccines, active pharmaceutical ingredients (API’s), and chemical compounds can lose efficacy or stability if exposed to even slight fluctuations. Standard GABLER refrigerated and deep-freezer containers safeguard these products with semi-hermetic, performance-regulated compressors and air-cooled condensers capable of handling ambient conditions up to +37 °C.
Regulatory compliance and safety are also at the core of the container design. Built in line with HACCP standards and equipped with SUVA-compliant safety features, these containers provide reassurance for regulatory audits while ensuring operator protection. Internal stainless steel bases with a TRI-sheet mounting system facilitate hygienic cleaning and durability, while insulation thicknesses of 140 to 220 mm reduce energy consumption and maintain consistent cooling performance.
For pharmaceutical manufacturers and chemical companies, these containers represent more than just cold storage — they are a scalable, cost-effective extension of controlled environments.
Advanced Features for Flexible and Reliable Pharmaceutical Cold Storage
The Standard range is engineered to deliver quiet, reliable, and adaptable cooling performance. An internal cooling system with low noise emissions ensures minimal disruption in sensitive working environments. Remote access functionality allows operators to monitor and adjust temperature settings, initiate thawing cycles, or correct fluctuations without being physically present. This not only reduces operating costs but also supports continuous quality control.
Positioning is highly versatile: containers can be placed directly on the ground, mounted on ramps, or installed with direct access into a building. They can also be relocated when empty, giving facilities the freedom to reconfigure storage as demand changes. Power connections are made simple with a 5-pin Euro plug, and capacity can be tailored to specific workflows thanks to sizes ranging from 10 feet to 35 feet.
