Industrial chiller for a sterilization production facility in Slovenia with delivery in 7 days

About the client

SANKOM d.o.o. is a family-owned company based in Ljubljana, Slovenia, founded in 1991. For more than three decades, the company has been successfully operating in the medical and industrial solutions segment, where every operation requires precision and a controlled environment is a key condition for full compliance with strict European standards:

— Comprehensive service and integration of sterilisation, packaging and processing procedures; 

— Production and supply of medical and non-medical products for clinics, hospitals and universities across Europe;

— An export model for working with international contracts, where chillers are integrated with local HVAC systems, ensuring predictable temperature conditions 24/7;

— In-house engineering R&D centre, where solutions are developed for precise temperature and process water control using HVAC equipment, including 10–100 kW chillers;

— Internal validation and quality control procedures, including measurements of 8 key HVAC parameters, with full process traceability and documentation of each cycle;

— Service support and monitoring of cooling systems, including filling glycol circuits, checking ΔT and chiller capacity, ensuring minimal downtime and stable operation.

Understanding the needs of a medical company in selecting a cooling system

For SANKOM d.o.o., the cooling system is a critical element of the technological infrastructure. Any temperature deviations can lead to defects, reprocessing, and non-compliance with ISO 13485, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 standards.

Key aspects of the system’s operation in sterilisation production:

— Operating modes — the systems operate in shifts or 24/7, withstanding seasonal peaks of up to 35°C in summer and low temperatures in winter;

— Cooling of process water — water and glycol flow rate of 7–12 m³/h, ΔT 4–6 K, ensures precise compliance with technological parameters during sterilisation;

— Air conditioning of facilities and premises — maintenance of a stable microclimate in areas with sensitive equipment, temperature ±1 °C, humidity 45–55%;

— Temperature ranges: Outlet water/glycol 7–12 °C, stable ΔT 4–6 K, maintaining precise temperature at loads up to 10–12 kW per individual refrigeration circuit.

SANKOM d.o.o. requires rapid commissioning of equipment, stability under variable loads and minimisation of downtime. The HVAC infrastructure protects all processes, preventing losses and ensuring the continuity of factory cycles.

Key factors in choosing a chiller

For the customer, the HVAC cooling system is an engineering option and part of the critical technological infrastructure, where temperature stability and operational reliability directly affect the correctness of sterilisation and technological cycles. The chiller had to withstand peak loads of up to 10 kW, maintain ΔT 4–6 K at the water/glycol outlet of 7–12 m³/h, operate 24/7 and simultaneously serve several technological circuits without the risk of downtime and overheating of technological equipment.

Key points when choosing a chiller from EVROPROM:

— Warranty and reliability — extended commitments for 12–60 months, full coverage of the compressor unit, condensers and heat exchanger;

— Integration into the existing system — minimal downtime during connection, quick start-up of the SANKOM d.o.o. hydraulic module;

— Speed of transaction approval — only 2 calendar days from request to payment; proforma invoice approved in 1 day, payment and preparation for shipment on the next day;

— Unit condition — new chiller with 0 operating hours, fully tested, filled with glycol circuit and all 8 key HVAC parameters checked;

— Load operation — resistance to seasonal peaks of 35°C, ability to operate in shift and continuous modes, support for up to 3–5 process circuits simultaneously;

— Cost-effectiveness — the use of warehouse and OUTLET equipment reduces CAPEX by 50–80% and saves up to €20,000 on the project compared to an autonomous order from the manufacturer.

This chiller provided the company with instant access to a full-fledged cooling system, allowed for quick integration into technological lines without downtime, guaranteed process stability with high precision, and minimised financial and operational risks. The speed of delivery, reliability of the equipment and extended warranties made this solution optimal for a B2B customer, where every delay and deviation from the norm directly affects product quality and compliance with production regulations from Slovenia.
