The nine-cell Preservus mortuary freezer is the freezer version of the MLM-05, the largest unit in the range, a high-capacity modular 3×3 configuration for major hospitals and forensic facilities. It runs at −10 to −20 °C with a preservation set point of −20 °C ±1.5 °C, for long-term cases such as unidentified remains, cases awaiting forensic examination or extended repatriation timelines. It is built in AISI 304 stainless steel inside and out, measures 2800 × 2200 × 2400 mm, is insulated at 40 kg/m³ and takes a recommended 2.75 HP cooling unit.
Each internal cell measures 550 × 700 mm and can be customised, and each cell has a stainless steel body tray with two handles. It is rated for a working (ambient) temperature of 32 °C on a 50–60 Hz supply, with 3-phase 380 V / 50 Hz as an option. Options include multiple cooling units, a UPS alarm, a deodoriser, universal door locking and a backup cooling system that switches on automatically if a failure occurs. The same cabinet is available as a refrigerator at +2 to +8 °C. Made in Saudi Arabia under ISO 13485:2016, it is delivered, connected and temperature-tested on site with a written commissioning record.

FAQ
What temperature does the nine-cell mortuary freezer hold?
It runs at −10 to −20 °C with a preservation set point of −20 °C ±1.5 °C. The same MLM-05 cabinet in its refrigerator version holds +2 to +8 °C, with a set point of +3.5 °C ±1.5 °C, for routine short-term preservation.
When does a facility need a mortuary freezer rather than a refrigerator?
A refrigerator covers routine short-term preservation. A freezer is chosen for long-term cases, such as unidentified remains, cases awaiting forensic examination or extended repatriation timelines. How long a body is kept depends on the facility's procedures and the family's arrangements, not on the equipment.
How many bodies does the nine-cell freezer hold?
It holds nine bodies, one per cell in a modular 3×3 arrangement. Each internal cell measures 550 × 700 mm and can be customised, with a stainless steel body tray with two handles. External dimensions are 2800 × 2200 × 2400 mm (L × W × H).
Is the freezer a separate model from the MLM-05?
No. It is the freezer configuration of the MLM-05 and has no separate model code: the same external dimensions, the same AISI 304 stainless steel construction and the same options. State the freezer version and the cell count when you request a quotation.
What power supply and site conditions does it need?
The recommended power for this size is 2.75 HP. The unit runs on a 50–60 Hz supply, with 3-phase 380 V / 50 Hz as an option, and is rated for a working (ambient) temperature of 32 °C. It is delivered, connected and temperature-tested on site with a written commissioning record.
What determines the price of a mortuary freezer?
Price depends on the number of cells, the options selected (multiple cooling units, a UPS alarm, a deodoriser, universal door locking, backup cooling), any custom cell or door dimensions, the delivery city and the warranty and installation terms.
