Vaccine Fridges, Medical Fridges

ENLAKE sells Australia's biggest range of vaccine fridges and vaccine fridge accessories. As we have so many makes and models of vaccine fridges to choose from, we encourage you to contact ENLAKE to discuss which medical fridge will best meet your needs. We will help you select the vaccine fridge best suited to your cold chain needs considering your budget, usage, operating environment and required volume.

ENLAKE's collection of vaccine refrigerators (otherwise known as medical refrigerators or drug fridges) are all specially made for use in hospitals, pharmacies, medical centres and veterinary practices. Purpose-built medical fridges are designed for vaccine storage and the storage of temperature sensitive medicines. They are designed to maintain the refrigerator contents between 2°C and 8°C. These medical refrigerators have features to help protect your products. Such features include:

• Fans to circulate the air. This is to keep the temperature even everywhere in the fridge
• Alarms to tell you if the temperature has gone below 2°C or above 8°C
• Digital displays that show the minimum and maximum recorded temperature within the fridge
• Auto-defrost cycles that prevent the build up of ice without affecting the product temperature

The best vaccine fridges add more features to keep your vaccines and medicines safe and save you money. Examples of these features include:

• Lower power consumption and hence lower power bills
• Quieter operation
• Tighter temperature control
• Door open alarms that remind you to close the door
• Remote alert system
• Higher climate ratings. This allows a fridge to better handle hot and/or humid conditions found in many parts of Australia

ENLAKE has every imaginable size of vaccine fridge for sale. We are sure to meet your needs, with products ranging from small vaccine fridges that will sit on the top of a bench to large vaccine refrigerators with one, two or three doors.

ENLAKE offers a wide selection of medical refrigerators from respected manufacturers. These include; Avem Quirks, Bromic Refrigeration, Exquisite Medical Australia, ICS Pacific, LIEBHERR, Nuline Refrigeration, Thermoline Scientific and Vacc-Safe.

Before you buy your next medical fridge, we encourage you to contact us so that you can tap into our wealth of knowledge and choose the best vaccine fridge for you.
