TEMPORARY & EVENT COLD STORAGE
Cold Rooms & Freezer Rooms for Events
Events, catering operations and temporary facilities often require reliable refrigerated storage without the need for a permanent cold-storage building.
Africhill manufactures cold rooms and freezer rooms that can be configured for temporary, relocatable and project-based applications throughout South Africa and Africa.

TEMPORARY REFRIGERATION
Reliable Cold Storage Where You Need It
Temporary does not mean refrigeration performance should be compromised. Food, beverages and other temperature-sensitive products still require reliable temperature control regardless of whether the facility is permanent or required for a limited period.
Africhill can manufacture modular cold and freezer rooms around the required storage capacity, operating temperature, location and duration of the application.
Depending on the project, systems can be designed for professional installation or simplified installation using DIY room configurations and Monoblock refrigeration.

SYSTEM DESIGN
Designed Around the Application
Temporary cold storage still needs to be correctly sized. Africhill considers more than just the physical dimensions of the room when specifying the refrigeration system.

Product & Temperature
What needs to be kept cold or frozen, and what temperature needs to be maintained? These are the starting points when specifying the room and refrigeration system.
Product Load & Room Size
Africhill considers how much product enters and leaves the room each day together with the storage capacity required.
Location & Power
The project’s location, local ambient temperature and available electrical supply can influence the refrigeration configuration.
Duration & Future Relocation
Africhill should know whether the system is needed for a single event, recurring seasonal use or a longer project, and whether future relocation is important.
These requirements determine the room configuration and refrigeration capacity required for reliable operation.
MODULAR CONSTRUCTION
Modular Cold Storage
Africhill’s insulated-panel construction makes cold and freezer rooms suitable for modular applications.
Rooms are manufactured from interlocking insulated panels and associated components, allowing suitable systems to be assembled on site and, depending on the configuration, dismantled and relocated when required.
This can provide a practical solution where a permanent masonry cold-storage building is unnecessary.
PLUG-AND-PLAY REFRIGERATION
Plug-and-Play Monoblock Refrigeration
For suitable temporary and remote applications, Africhill Monoblock refrigeration can significantly simplify installation.
The refrigeration unit is supplied as an integrated, pre-assembled and pre-charged system, reducing the requirement for extensive refrigeration pipework and on-site refrigerant charging.

REMOTE & CUSTOMER INSTALLATION
DIY Cold Rooms for Remote or Temporary Sites
Where professional installation is impractical or the project is located far from Africhill’s installation teams, a DIY cold-room system can provide an alternative.
Africhill can manufacture and supply the insulated panels, trimmings, doors and refrigeration equipment required for the room, configured for straightforward assembly
at the destination.
A Monoblock refrigeration system can further simplify suitable DIY installations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Temporary & Event Cold Storage FAQs
Answers to common questions about temporary cold rooms, relocation, DIY systems, Monoblock refrigeration and event applications.
Can a cold room be used temporarily?
Yes. Africhill’s insulated-panel cold rooms can be configured for temporary and project-based applications. The appropriate construction depends on the room size, location and operating requirements.
Can the cold room be moved after an event?
