Prefabricated cold storage solutions – Is it a must-have?
Prefabricated modular cold storage solutions are becoming more and more accessible these days. Post pandemic, the medical infrastructure needs beefing up. While it is may not be financially feasible to set up permanent cold storage in semi-rural areas, modular prefab cold rooms can do the job equally well. Prefab cold rooms can be set up within a week. Once the usage is over, it can be easily dismantled and carried to another location for renting out or other needs. With modular construction, comes this flexibility of reuse which in turn adds to cost-saving. Other than finding usage in the pharma industry, cold rooms also find wide usage in the food processing industry. Therefore it is wise to invest in prefab cold rooms, irrespective of the size of your business or turnover.
Below are five advantages of prefab cold rooms that are worth mentioning.
- Prefab cold rooms can be installed in no time!
Speed of construction is a big reason why modular prefab cold rooms are becoming more popular. Once the structural elements are prepared in the factory, it takes very little time to assemble them at the site. Traditional buildings on the other hand have a much longer construction time, which depends on ideal weather conditions, labour availability, etc. Whereas in prefab construction, most of it happens offsite, so completion time remains undeterred by these factors.
- Modular Prefab cold rooms can be easily transported
Prefab construction is essentially modular in nature, so if you have to build and re-build over and again when there is a need for expansion, it can be done quite easily. This renders a huge benefit to modular cold storage rooms especially if your business has distributed inventory across different locations. In a stark difference with permanent cold rooms, prefab cold rooms have modules that can be assembled/disassembled and installed on site. So they are easy to dismantle and reuse.
- Offers commendable flexibility
Modular cold rooms are made in order to meet your changing requirements as and when your business grows. Being modular, expansion becomes easy. Just add extra columns, panels, floors, etc as needed. Ease of expansion is one of the major advantages of modular structures.
- Panel thickness alteration is possible
One of the simple yet very useful advantages of prefab cold rooms is that panel thickness can be altered as per requirements. It is of utmost importance to obtain a panel of the right size to ensure optimum cooling of your inventory. Higher the insulation, the more the savings on electricity. Thus, panel size is indirectly linked with cost savings in your business.
- Prefab cold rooms are equipped with temperature control features
It is a popular belief that prefab cold rooms are not long-lasting or does not provide enough temperature control as they are cheap and fast to construct. This is however a myth! In fact, modular cold storage rooms come with the latest temperature control features so that your inventory stays at the temperature they need to be. Some cold rooms are also equipped with remote temperature control features so that you can set the temperature remotely without having to worry about unnecessary fluctuations.
