AIRFROSTER® as a shock freezer for industry & production
In industrial manufacturing processes, the conditioning of media to defined target temperatures – for activation, stabilization, or further processing – requires fully documented and reproducible processes in accordance with GMP requirements. The AIRFROSTER® conditions cooling packs and media precisely to the defined target temperature – validated and fully documented.
Production and shipping in one system
GMP-compliant process reliability
Over 95 years of cooling expertise
Precise cooling as part of your production process
The precise cooling of media to defined target temperatures is a quality-critical step in industrial manufacturing processes – whether for activation, preservation, or further processing. Temperature deviations compromise product quality and batch integrity.
GMP guidelines require complete documentation and reproducibility of all production-relevant processes. The AIRFROSTER® conditions cooling packs and media in a validated and reproducible manner to defined target temperatures – ensuring GMP-compliant process reliability in both production and subsequent shipping.
The challenge
Why precise cooling is critical in production
In regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and biotechnology, temperature control – as the most sensitive parameter in the manufacturing process – is subject to the strictest process requirements.
Product quality starts with temperature
Raw materials, active substances, and intermediates react sensitively to temperature deviations – with direct impact on batch quality. The AIRFROSTER® conditions to defined target temperatures and ensures identical conditions in every cooling cycle.
Key risks in production
-
Reproducibility as a GMP requirement
GMP requires consistent process results – regardless of shift, location, or operating personnel. The programmable control of the AIRFROSTER® ensures defined cooling durations, fixed intensity, and consistent target temperatures in every cycle.
-
Complete documentation for your QM system
GMP audits and internal quality checks require proof of compliant process parameters. The AIRFROSTER® continuously generates device data and provides full process documentation – from process qualification prior to commissioning to ongoing operation. Requirements for traceability and verification are met without additional manual effort.
The solution
AIRFROSTER®: Two cooling chambers, precise temperature control, GMP-compliant production
The AIRFROSTER® meets the high requirements of regulated production environments. With its two independently controllable cooling chambers, cooling packs and media can be conditioned in parallel to different target temperatures – validated, reproducible, and with complete temperature documentation up to the point of pack removal.
This ensures reliable passive cooling for the last mile and guarantees that recorded temperature values are accurate and dependable. As a sustainable alternative to dry ice, the AIRFROSTER® reduces CO₂ emissions by around 90% while ensuring process-reliable cooling in both production and shipping.
Two independent cooling chambers
Parallel conditioning of media and cooling packs to different target temperatures – enabling varying temperature requirements in production and shipping within a single system.
Precise temperature control
Adjustable target temperature range from −35 °C to +15 °C covers a wide range of industrial requirements. Uniform temperature at removal ensures consistent process conditions for subsequent processing steps.
GMP-compliant documentation
Includes documented process qualification for the QM system – carried out as a real-world test using the customer’s own cooling packs prior to commissioning. Continuous monitoring, programmable control with time stamps, and complete documentation ensure full traceability in accordance with GMP requirements.
Sustainable alternative to dry ice
Reusable cooling packs fully replace dry ice – reducing CO₂ emissions by up to 90% in comparison. Precise conditioning to target temperature eliminates energy-intensive overcooling.
Ergonomic & user-safe
Magnetically locking pack basket trolley enables low-effort loading and unloading – even in multi-shift operations. A 4.3-inch LCD touchscreen with intuitive controls minimizes user errors.
Plug-and-play system
Integrated solution consisting of shock freezer, pack basket, and transport trolley. Operates on 230 V – no installation required, ready for immediate use.
Remote maintenance & full service
Ongoing device data available online, with remote troubleshooting in case of issues. Optional full-service contracts ensure continuous operational readiness.
GMP-compliant cooling for reliable manufacturing processes
Manufacturing companies in regulated industries are subject to GMP requirements for temperature control, documentation, and process reliability – both in production and in the shipping of temperature-sensitive products. The AIRFROSTER® meets both requirements.
The AIRFROSTER® ensures process-reliable conditioning of media and cooling packs for GMP-compliant production and shipping processes.
