China cold storage solution provider
In the pharmaceutical and biotech industry, proper vaccine storage is critical. Temperature stability directly affects vaccine potency and safety, which is why many companies choose to build a dedicated walk-in vaccine cold room that complies with international standards. But how much does such a cold room actually cost—and how much product can it hold?
The overall cost depends mainly on the cold room size, temperature requirements, and system configuration. Below are common examples based on real project estimates:
1. 100 m² Vaccine Cold Room
- Typical Cost: USD 20,000–24,000
- Configuration:
- Dual refrigeration system (duty + standby)
- Two ceiling-mounted evaporators
- Two Emerson Copeland condensing units
- Backup generator for power protection
- Modular insulated panel structure
- Compliance: Designed to meet GDP/GSP regulatory requirements
- Storage Capacity:
Approximately 80–100 m³ of usable storage volume, which can hold:- 40–60 pallets of vaccines, or
- Up to 20–30 tons depending on packaging density
2. 1,000 m² Vaccine Cold Room
- Typical Cost: USD 160,000–200,000
- Features:
- Large-scale dual-system refrigeration
- Multiple fan coil units for uniform temperature
- 24/7 monitoring and alarm system
- Storage Capacity:
Up to 900–1,000 m³ of usable space, capable of storing:- 400–600 pallets of vaccines
- 200–300 tons of biological products
