Site and Utility Checklist

These are the nine categories that decide whether a freeze drying and quick freezing line fits your building. Settle them with your facilities engineer before you ask anyone for a price, because every unanswered line here turns into a variation order later.

Where our scope ends and yours begins

  • We supply the equipment, layout and pipe-routing guidance, mechanical and electrical installation support, interlocked process commissioning, freeze drying curve optimisation and operator training.
  • Building services up to our terminal points — power, water, air, drainage and the floor itself — remain on your scope.
  • The boundary is written into the technical annex so that neither side discovers it during commissioning.
