Hangzhou, China - 618m² Pharmaceutical-Grade Cold Storage - 2-8°C Precision Control & GMP - Compliant Solution

Project Basic Information

Located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, this project is a purpose-built pharmaceutical-grade cold storage facility for Pfizer Biopharma (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd., dedicated to low-temperature storage of pharmaceutical raw materials and directly supporting continuous pharmaceutical production. The total construction area of 618 m² is divided into two independent functional zones with clear zoning, scientific layout, and classified storage—fully meeting biomedical storage standards.

Customer Core Requirements

The biopharmaceutical industry demands far more from cold storage systems than ordinary cold chain projects. Temperature precision, operational stability, safety compliance, environmental sustainability, and construction standards are all critical—a failure in any one can lead to raw material degradation, production disruption, and compliance risk. As a globally leading biopharmaceutical enterprise, Pfizer imposed exceptionally high professional requirements.

 Core requirements checklist:

• Temperature precision: Accurate control with minimal fluctuation to ensure material activity and stability

• Continuous operation: 24/7 uninterrupted stable operation; any downtime risks production disruption

• Compliance: Full compliance with pharmaceutical industry standards and GMP-related regulations—no gaps tolerated

• Eco-efficiency: Environmental protection, safety, and low energy consumption aligned with Pfizer’s green production concept

• Schedule constraint: On-schedule delivery without affecting Pfizer’s existing production plans

Targeted Solutions

Leveraging extensive pharmaceutical cold storage experience, proven technical solutions, and a comprehensive project management framework, Shanghai Kendall Refrigeration engineered a customized design in strict accordance with pharmaceutical plant specifications. Each pain point was addressed with a targeted solution:

Refrigeration Host System - Panasonic Compressors

Panasonic compressors were selected as the core power source. Key advantages—stable operation, high energy efficiency ratio, low noise, and extended service life—provide a continuous and reliable cold source, directly meeting the 24/7 uninterrupted operation requirement. Rationale: pharmaceutical cold storage cannot tolerate frequent compressor downtime; Panasonic’s low failure rate and long service life match this need precisely.

Evaporation & Temperature Control - Baird Evaporators

Baird evaporators ensure even air distribution, creating a stable temperature field with no local temperature differences or dead zones. All areas meet set temperature standards, protecting pharmaceutical material quality. Rationale: pharmaceutical raw materials demand extreme temperature-field uniformity; any local difference risks material degradation. Baird’s uniform airflow characteristic solves this challenge.

Construction Quality - Professional Team & Full-Process Control

Construction was executed by a professional pharmaceutical cold storage team in strict accordance with pharmaceutical plant specifications. Key control areas include:

• Airtight panel installation ensuring insulation performance

• Elimination of cold bridges, leaks, and temperature dead zones

• Professional pipeline layout and integrated electrical control system

• Rigorous inspection at every construction stage with full-process standardized management

• Efficient execution and on-schedule delivery with zero disruption to Pfizer’s production plan

Quantified Results

Post-delivery, the system has performed stably across temperature control, operational reliability, compliance certification, and operating cost—meeting all client expectations. All data below is from original project records:

• Cold storage maintained at 2°C–8°C precise control with minimal fluctuation and uniform temperature field, ensuring material activity and stability

• System operates 24/7 uninterrupted with accurate temperature control, providing robust support for standardized, continuous pharmaceutical production

• Meets pharmaceutical GMP-related storage conditions; highly recognized by the client

• Effectively safeguards storage safety and quality stability; reduces material loss, lowers operating costs, improves production efficiency
