The Chattanooga ColPac Chilling Unit C-5 is a professional-grade cold pack chilling and storage unit designed for clinical use in physical therapy, sports medicine, and rehabilitation settings. The stainless steel welded construction provides lasting durability, while the heavy-duty compressor and specially designed interior chilling coils cool ColPacs faster and more efficiently than standard units. Closed-cell foam insulation maintains temperature efficiency, and a drain valve simplifies cleaning and defrosting. Three 8 cm swivel-type rubber casters allow silent, friction-free movement for mobile unit configurations. UL listed (120 Volt). Comes complete with 6 standard size ColPacs and 6 half size ColPacs.
Note: This item ships directly from the manufacturer to the customer. Please allow up to 10 business days of lead time from order placement.
The C-5 begins cooling when plugged into a standard electrical outlet and does not require plumbing. Initial cooling can take several hours. The heavy-duty compressor and interior chilling coils cool ColPacs, while the large-capacity tank accommodates multiple packs and keeps them cold until needed. When the unit needs to be defrosted or cleaned, the drain valve helps remove excess liquid. Rubber casters support easy, friction-free maneuvering.
The unit is designed to operate without routine supervision once plugged in. A thermostat monitors the interior temperature, and a heater beneath the top lid helps reduce condensation around the lid. Follow Chattanooga’s instructions for operation, cleaning, and defrosting.
Physical therapy clinics and rehabilitation centers that provide cold pack therapy as a standard modality for acute injury management, post-exercise recovery, and pain and inflammation control will find the C-5’s heavy-duty compressor and interior chilling coils maintain a ready supply of chilled ColPacs for continuous patient throughput throughout the treatment day. Sports medicine facilities, athletic training rooms, and team training facilities that treat multiple athletes simultaneously and need a high-capacity chilling unit that can rapidly rechill ColPacs between uses will find the C-5’s faster chilling performance reduces wait times and supports efficient treatment scheduling. Occupational therapy departments and hospital-based rehabilitation units that use cold therapy as part of post-surgical and acute care treatment protocols will find the stainless steel construction and drain valve support the hygiene and cleaning standards required in clinical healthcare environments. Clinics that need a mobile cold pack unit that can be repositioned between treatment areas or moved to different rooms within the facility will find the three swivel casters allow smooth, quiet repositioning without disrupting patient care. New clinic setups and practice expansions that want a complete, ready-to-use cold therapy system will find the C-5’s inclusion of 12 ColPacs (6 standard, 6 half size) provides an immediate supply of cold packs without requiring a separate ColPac purchase at startup.
How long does it take to chill ColPacs to treatment temperature?
Chilling time depends on the starting temperature of the ColPacs and the ambient environment. The C-5’s heavy-duty compressor and interior chilling coils are designed to chill ColPacs faster than standard units. Contact our customer service team or refer to the Chattanooga product documentation for specific chilling time specifications.
How do I clean and defrost the unit?
The drain valve allows easy drainage of water during defrosting and cleaning. Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning and maintenance instructions included with the unit for specific defrosting frequency recommendations and approved cleaning procedures.
Can additional ColPacs be purchased separately?
Yes. Chattanooga ColPacs are available separately in standard and half sizes. Contact our customer service team for ColPac ordering information and pricing.
What power does the unit require?
The C-5 is a UL-listed 120-volt unit. Confirm that the available electrical supply is compatible before use and follow the Chattanooga product documentation.
