FAQ
What is a mortuary refrigerator?
A mortuary refrigerator is a refrigerated stainless steel cabinet that holds the deceased at a controlled temperature until release or further examination. The MLM-01E is a one-cell version in 304 stainless steel, sized for clinics and small facilities that need this equipment in a limited floor area.
What temperature is a mortuary fridge?
Preservus mortuary refrigerators, including the MLM-01E, hold +2 to +8°C for standard chilling. The same cabinet can instead be ordered as a freezer, running at −10 to −20°C, for facilities that need longer-term storage rather than short-term chilling before release.
How many bodies does the MLM-01E hold?
The MLM-01E holds one body in a single internal cell measuring 550 × 700 mm, which can be customised to order. It suits clinics and small facilities that need a hospital-grade mortuary refrigerator without the floor space for a multi-cell cabinet. The standard load per cell or tray is 200 kg, with a bariatric option available for heavier cases.
What power supply does the MLM-01E need, and what ambient temperature is it rated for?
The MLM-01E runs on a 0.50 HP cooling unit on a 50–60 Hz power supply, with 3-phase 380 V / 50 Hz available 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 happens to the bodies inside the MLM-01E if the power goes out?
Standard Preservus units restart automatically once power returns. For the MLM-01E, a UPS-backed alarm is available to keep the temperature alarm active during an outage, alongside an emergency cooling option for sites where power cuts are frequent. Confirm which options you need when you place your order.
How much does a mortuary fridge cost?
Price depends on the number of cells, whether a freezer configuration is chosen, added options such as a UPS alarm, deodoriser or emergency cooling, the delivery city, and the warranty and installation terms. Share these details with Medica-Lab for a written quotation covering the MLM-01E.
What warranty and lead time apply to this refrigerator?
It carries a 5-year warranty, and standard configurations ship within 6 to 10 weeks of a confirmed order. After-sales support is handled by our own local engineers in Saudi Arabia and Egypt, with a 48-hour response time and spare parts held for at least 10 years after the model is discontinued.
