Frequently Asked Questions

A camlock cold room is a modular cold storage system built with insulated panels joined by cam-lock fasteners, offering efficient temperature control for storing perishable goods.

The term “camlock” refers to the special locking mechanism—called a cam-lock—that tightly secures each panel to the next, ensuring a strong seal and stable insulation.

Panel thickness can vary, usually ranging from 80 mm (3.15 inches) to 150 mm (5.9 inches), depending on the required insulation level.

Our camlock panels contain polyurethane foam for insulation, with metal skins (galvanized or stainless steel) on the outside.

Yes. Because the panels create a tight seal, less energy is lost, making them more cost-efficient over time.

Yes. With the right refrigeration unit and appropriate panel thickness, they can maintain anything from chilled temperatures down to freezing or below.

Yes. One of the biggest advantages of camlock systems is that you can disassemble and reassemble them in a new location with minimal hassle.

Emergency release handles on doors, interior lighting, and possibly an alarm system are standard safety features.

Smaller units with monoblocks can often be assembled by a well-informed individual, but for larger or more complex systems, professional help may be needed.

Basic tools (like wrenches or Allen keys) are usually enough. The cam-lock fastening system simplifies installation compared to other types of cold rooms. A wrench is always included in the package.

A flat, level surface (often concrete) is crucial for proper panel alignment and stability.

Installation time can range from a few hours to a couple of days, depending on size and complexity.

A light cleaning weekly or bi-weekly is common, with a thorough sanitizing at least once a month or more frequently if needed.

Mild, non-abrasive cleaners and disinfectants are recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals that might damage the panel surfaces or seals.

Inspect panel surfaces for dents, gaps, or loose seals. Look for condensation or mold as a sign of compromised insulation.

Clean condenser coils and ensure the fans are functioning properly at least once a quarter.

Yes. An annual or semi-annual check by a qualified technician helps catch potential issues early.

Inspect and clean the room, check the refrigeration unit, and verify the door seals. If the issue persists, consult our technicians.
