What are the advantages of having a modular cold storage solution?
With increased food production happening worldwide, prefabricated modular cold storage rooms are the need of the hour. They are an efficient storage solution for the food industry as well as sensitive pharmaceutical inventory. Therefore It is good to invest in a prefab cold storage room, no matter how small maybe the size of your business.
Below are some of the advantages of prefabricated modular cold rooms that are worth a special mention.
Modular cold rooms can be installed quickly
It is the speed of construction that has helped prefabricated cold rooms garner popularity. Once the structural components are manufactured in the factory, it takes very little time to assemble them on site. On the other hand, traditional buildings take much longer to be constructed. Favorable weather conditions, availability of labor are factors that determine project completion in traditional construction. Whereas in prefabrication, construction happens offsite so it is unaffected by these factors.
Modular cold rooms are easy to relocate
Prefabricated cold rooms are inherently modular in construction. So if you have to dismantle, carry to a different location, and re-build, it is easy. Similarly, expansion of your existing cold room can happen too. This factor offers immense benefit to modular cold storage rooms especially if products need to be kept at different places throughout the year. Unlike what happens in brick and mortar cold rooms, prefab cold rooms have modules that are assembled and installed on-site. So they are easy to disassemble for reuse.
They offer design flexibility
Modular cold storage solutions are meant to be constructed as per the client’s requirement. Being modular, expansion comes in without much effort. One has to only add more columns, panels, mezzanine floors, etc as needed. Ease of expansion is one of the biggest advantages of modular structures.
Panel thickness variation is a possibility
Another basic yet nifty advantage of prefab cold rooms is that panel thickness can be changed as per requirements. It is important that one should be able to identify the right panel size to ensure effective cooling of the inventory. Better the insulation, more you save on electricity cost. Thus, panel size is implicitly connected to cost savings in prefab cold rooms.
Comes equipped with temperature control features
It is a popular belief that prefab cold rooms do not last long or do not provide temperature control adequately since they are cheap and quick to build. That’s a myth, whatsoever! Contrarily, prefab cold storage rooms come equipped with the latest temperature control features so that your goods stay at the temperature they need to be in. Some modular cold rooms also come with a remote temperature control feature so that you can set temperatures while you are away without having to worry about unnecessary fluctuations.
