In many sectors, price-driven factors are becoming increasingly important, while at the same time requirements for safety and temperature stability remain essential. In addition, European manufacturers of high-quality products are increasingly facing the challenge of keeping pace with growing competition from Asia.
With smartLINE FRIMED presents smartLINE, a new product line that specifically addresses this market trend and offers an economically attractive and technically reliable solution.
Clearly positioned
smartLINE is not a replacement for existing FRIMED standard products, but rather a valuable addition to the portfolio. The new line provides an attractive entry point into laboratory and pharmacy refrigeration, offers greater flexibility in price-driven tenders, and strengthens the FRIMED brand’s presence in additional market segments. As a result, both new and existing customers benefit from an expanded selection tailored to different project requirements.
smartLINE is designed for the mid-to-low price segment and is aimed at applications with strict budget constraints, without compromising FRIMED’s fundamental quality principles. The units feature an optimized design with a proprietary chassis and proven core components such as efficient insulation, energy-efficient compressor technology, and stable temperature control. This positions smartLINE above traditional low-cost products and offers a reliable solution for daily use.
Technology that impresses

Despite its affordable price point, the smartLINE offers a wide range of professional features. With a temperature range of +2 °C to +12 °C and a capacity ranging from 126 L to 520 L, it is suitable for a variety of applications. Precise digital control combined with microprocessor-controlled electronics ensures reliable temperature regulation and quiet operation at less than 45 dB(A).
Comprehensive safety and monitoring features, including visual and audible alarms, an alarm history, and an integrated data logger, enhance operational safety. A backup battery and a safety thermostat are also available as options. The cooling technology, featuring a statically ventilated evaporator, an anti-stratification system, the environmentally friendly refrigerant R290, and automatic defrosting, ensures uniform and efficient temperature distribution.
The system is complemented by modern connectivity. Standard Bluetooth enables data access via smartphone or tablet, and connection to the building management system is also possible via an analog output.
