Mortuary Cold Rooms, Containers and Cabinets
Refrigerated Mortuary Solutions for Different Capacity and Site Requirements
Mortuary refrigeration needs to provide dependable temperature control while allowing the storage capacity, room configuration and refrigeration system to suit the requirements of the facility.
Africhill manufactures mortuary containers, mortuary cabinets and walk-in mortuary cold rooms for projects in South Africa and across Africa. Solutions are available for +2°C refrigerated holding and, depending on the product configuration, -18°C freezer holding.
From compact 3-tier cabinets to containerised facilities and larger custom walk-in rooms, the appropriate system can be selected around the required capacity, installation environment, power supply and site conditions.
