Heating, energy, refrigeration, ventilation and air conditioning (HERVAC) systems play an important role in pharmaceutical manufacturing, especially related to ensuring product quality and safety and industry regulatory compliance. This is Part 1 of a two-part series.
FRIGAIR 2025 runs June 4-6. Supplied by Specialised Exhibitions
The South African Institute of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (SAIRAC) will host FRIGAIR 2025 during 4-6 June 2025 at Gallagher Convention Centre, Midrand. The event will profile approximately 150 leading companies within the HERVAC sector and showcase the latest products, technologies and developments in environmental control systems for the pharmaceutical industry.
One of the most important components of pharmaceutical manufacturing is environmental control to ensure product quality. Many pharmaceutical products are sensitive to temperature, humidity and airborne contaminants. Pharmaceutical ingredients and biologicals can degrade when exposed to unsuitable conditions, while other processes are temperature and humidity dependent, making HERVAC systems vital in managing and controlling environmental factors to ensure process stability. Proper environmental controls also enable process reproducibility across manufacturing sites with the same product outcomes.
Daikin South Africa, a global leader in climate control solutions, plans to leverage the FRIGAIR platform to demonstrate its evolution beyond air conditioning and establish itself as a comprehensive HVAC supplier that delivers complete solutions across various industries. The company will exhibit solutions such as the Daikin DX Air Handling Unit for optimal air quality and energy efficiency, and the Daikin LMS Monoblock fully functional plug-and-play cold room system. Industry professionals and stakeholders will have the opportunity to explore solutions which ensure optimal indoor air quality, precise climate control, high-performance cooling solutions and industrial applications supporting factories and large-scale facilities.
Maxiflex, a leader in industrial entrance solutions, will showcase its specialised solutions for cold storage and refrigeration applications. Visitors to the Maxiflex stand can expect to see a range of cold room innovations designed to optimise insulation, energy savings, and traffic flow in temperature-controlled environments. Highlights include the refrigeration-grade strip curtain material, engineered for durability and superior thermal insulation, ideal for use in walk-in freezers, cold rooms, and food processing facilities. Specialised door for freezer applications, including models built to handle extreme temperature differences while maintaining high-performance sealing and minimal energy loss.
HERVAC systems play an important role in contamination control in pharmaceutical manufacturing by maintaining cleanroom standards and controlling particulates, microbial loads and air pressure as well as preventing cross-contamination between products.
