German MECOTEC Group delivers 8 containers for deep-freeze storage of Covid-Vaccines

Bitterfeld-Wolfen, November 2nd, 2021 - With the ramp-up of vaccine production the demand for ultra-low temperature solutions to safely store and transport the vaccines continues to rise.

"We are pleased that - after delivering the world's first deep-freeze container solution to Asia in spring this year - we can once more demonstrate our leading competence in deep-freeze cooling solutions for pharmaceutical products - said Enrico Klauer, CEO of MECOTEC. - With our certified products we cover an important part within the logistic chain, in this case for Covid-vaccines", continues Klauer.

The ISO standard 40ft. container has been developed for the storage, transport and easy removal of deeply refrigerated goods that require permanent cooling at temperatures between -20°C and -80°C (-4°F and -112°F). The cold is generated purely electrically with two independent and redundant cold generator that achieve an availability of at least 98%. Storage capacity is over half a million vials. All containers have been qualified by an independent institute for refrigeration technology. Delivery to the customers has already started and will be completed in November. 

The set-up of the MECOTEC container is threefold: The machine room is located at one end of the container, while access to the work area is from the other side of the container.
