“Pluris”, the operational arm of the historic company DESMON from Irpinia, manufacturer of refrigeration systems for the world of healthcare, scientific research and the Horeca sector, announces that ultra-compact freezers capable of preserving pharmaceuticals in perfect condition are at an advanced stage of study. and vaccines like Pfizer’s, at temperatures between -60 and -86 degrees.

Pluris has already initiated a series of contacts in order to make available the new ultra-freezers, designed to be able to store up to 5,000 doses of vaccine, not only for pharmaceutical companies but also for institutional and private consumers (hospitals, health companies, research institutes , Pharmacies).

At “Desmon”, which has been part of the American group, The Middleby Corp. for 5 years, we have been working for over a month on the project that will lead to the placing on the market of refrigeration systems which, due to their characteristics and dimensions, will be perfectly compatible with the needs related to the anti Sars-Cov-2 vaccine currently in an advanced phase of experimentation by Pfizer.

The study and development of ultra-freezers compatible with anti Sars-Cov-2 vaccines was launched following continuous discussions with international scientific laboratories that work precisely to combat this serious disease.

The technical laboratory of the Nusco company, in concert with the most important American health bodies, has completed the preparatory work and is awaiting the necessary certifications.

The know-how that “Pluris” and “Desmon” gained over the years of the Irpinia group, headed by the De Santis family, one of the most important international players for what concerns the production of instruments capable of guaranteeing excellent performance in the cold.

Which, in this case, means ensuring constant temperatures capable of generating even unplugged cold, capable of maintaining the temperature within the range of + \ – 1 ° over 72 hours.

«Our products are present, through Mepa and Consip tenders in public health facilities throughout Italy – explains Luigi De Santis, CEO of “ Pluris ”-. Even in recent months, in full Covid emergency, our large freezers have been delivered to the laboratories of hospitals in Campania, Puglia and Calabria. Now, we are working to be able to make ultra-freezers of various sizes available to the market, which can also be used for storing vaccine doses in hospitals, health agencies, research institutes, pharmacies ».

In addition to the freezers for the protection of vaccines, “Pluris” announces that it is ready to make available to the Ministry of Defense also one of its previous projects, internationally awarded, the product in question, a freezer compartment with passive refrigeration system, has in fact received the SMART LABEL recognition for the proposed design and technology, developed in collaboration with the CNR, to ensure the maintenance of the controlled temperature, with a delta on arrival of 0.1 degrees compared to departure during transport.

Desmon SpA was founded by the De Santis family in 1994 as a company for the production of professional equipment for the food-service and medical sectors.

In a few years Desmon has become a European reference point in the production of refrigerated equipment for the two sectors in which it operates. In 2015, it joined the NASDAQ-listed Middleby Corporation Company headquartered in Elgin, Illinois.

100% of the refrigerated equipment produced by Desmon is made in the two factories of approximately 25,000 square meters, entirely covered, located in Nusco in the province of Avellino.
