What is ColdVector?

Our method for designing and building cold storage rooms tailored to each client, with data-driven engineering.

  1. 1. Survey

    We gather every requirement on the first visit.

  2. 2. Modelling

    Physical-mathematical models and data science.

  3. 3. Optimization

    The best balance of quality, price and reliability.

  4. 4. Execution

    Your crew executes to our specification, or we do it.

Mathematical optimization model

Our model

We define what to install and how. You execute with certainty, or we do it for you.

The result: a cold vault that is safe and highly efficient to run.

Two ways to work with us

Depending on the application, we provide the engineering or deliver the complete system.

Option 1

Engineering

We define what to install and how. Your crew executes.

  • Heat load calculation
  • Equipment selection
  • Drawings, specifications and bill of materials

Contracted as a calculation report, a monthly retainer or a full project engineering package.

Option 2

Turnkey

We design, build and install the complete system, as the application requires.

  • Fabrication of cold rooms, hydrocoolers and conveyors
  • Assembly and installation
  • Start-up and commissioning

Panel with per-room temperature control
Compressor monitoring screen in operation
High and low pressure gauges

Full control of every room

  • Per-room control

    Blast freezers, chillers, anteroom and processing room.

  • Compressor monitoring

    Suction, discharge, oil and capacity in real time.

  • Automatic protection

    The system shuts down before it gets damaged.

Engineering across borders

600+

systems designed every year for more than 60 refrigeration contractors across Mexico

Those contractors work with our engineering: we define what to install and how; they execute.

  • Mexico600+ systems a year
  • Uruguay367+ systems
  • Brazil13 systems
  • Cuba8 systems
  • Argentina7 systems

Outside Mexico we work for local contractors: we define what to install and how; they execute.
