Coldway Technologies' revolutionary system called Coldway Inside offers an ecological and responsible solution for transporting food within the cold chain.
The Sofrigam Group and its subsidiary Coldway Technologies presented a major advance in autonomous cooling at CES in Las Vegas. This revolutionary system called Coldway Inside offers an ecological and responsible solution for the transport of food and pharmaceutical products along the cold chain.
Coldway Technologies excels in the design, testing and manufacturing of self-contained refrigeration units designed to be mounted on insulated containers. Once assembled, these containers can be installed on various vehicles such as bicycles, tricycles, cars or trucks, facilitating last-mile delivery in urban areas.
The Coldway Inside system has many advantages, such as its autonomy, its mobility, its solid discretion, its durability and above all its CO2-freedom, thus responding to growing environmental concerns. It represents a promising alternative to future refrigerant regulations that anticipates the impending ban on HFCs.
Coldway Inside's solid-gas sorption technology is based on a chemical reaction between ammonia, a natural refrigerant, and a mixture of salts and graphite in a hermetic circuit. This method of cold generation stores energy indefinitely, generating cold and heat instantly without generating noise or vibration, and is infinitely rechargeable, with more than 3,000 charging cycles observed without loss of power.
This innovation is the result of a fruitful collaboration with the CNRS and has successfully established itself in demanding markets such as the food industry and healthcare. The company recently received a Consumer Electronics Show (CES) Trophy in Las Vegas and won awards in the “Best Greentech Innovation in the France Pavilion” and “Best French Innovation in the France Pavilion” categories. This dual award underscores Coldway Technologies' commitment to green innovation and underscores its leadership in developing environmentally friendly solutions to modern cooling and energy challenges.
