Currently, very few options are available to handle the distribution requirements of these vaccines,\u201d said Enrico Klauer CEO of MECOTEC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThrough our partnership with DMI, we aim to help equip the Philippines with an effective solution that addresses these concerns as the local distribution of COVID-19 vaccines are on the horizon,\u201d he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe local distribution of these vaccines require a thorough understanding of our geographical complexities. To address the lengthy logistical lead time often associated with transporting goods within our borders, we need a solution that would allow these vaccines to be stored and transported at the required temperature for a longer period of time.\u201d shares Jess Co President of DMI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith MECOTEC\u2019s technology, we can efficiently address these concerns, and even reach smaller and more remote communities,\u201d he adds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Designed to address these challenges, the MCF8 is equipped with the following beneficial features:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Active deep cooling technology to freeze contents from a low of -20\u2103 down to an ultra low -80\u2103 to meet the handling requirements of the various vaccine options<\/li><li>ISO container sizes of 20- or 40-feet that meet current transport standards for truck, railway, ship, and air<\/li><li>Storage of up to 1,000,000 vaccination doses in one 40-foot container and up to 500,000 doses in one 20-foot container<\/li><li>Dual use as a distribution center where vaccines can be taken out in small or large amounts<\/li><li>Access\/Preparation chamber within the containers with -20\u2103 temperature designed for more comfort during distribution<\/li><li>2 cooling units with 2 backup Diesel generator; allows for cooling and redundancies without the need for dry ice or thermal shippers<\/li><li>GPS based tracking and data exchange<\/li><li>Access control security from source to destination<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MCF8 will be available starting the first quarter of 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MCF8 is a mobile, hybrid container that allows for the proper freezing, transport, storage, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines to ensure its extensive administration to communities across the Philippines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":41353,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,637],"tags":[5369,628],"class_list":["post-41352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headlines","category-motoring-2","tag-cargo-service","tag-motoring"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41352","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41352"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41352\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41352"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41352"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41352"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
