Commercial Blast Chiller Designed for Rapid Chilling and Freezing
This blast chiller shock freezer is designed for professional kitchens that require fast and reliable temperature reduction after cooking. Built as a durable stainless steel blast chiller, the unit helps maintain food safety, preserve product quality, and streamline food preparation workflows in restaurants, bakeries, hotels, and catering facilities.
The machine quickly reduces the core temperature of cooked food from +90°C to +3°C in approximately 90 minutes, helping prevent bacterial growth while preserving the original taste, texture, and nutritional value. For freezing applications, the unit also functions as a powerful commercial blast freezer, lowering the temperature from +90°C to -18°C in about 240 minutes.
Equipped with a simplified electronic control system, the unit allows operators to select soft or hard chilling cycles depending on the type of food being processed. Cooling can be managed through preset time cycles or a core temperature probe, providing precise control over the chilling process.
The cabinet accommodates 15 GN 1/1 trays or 15 EN trays (600 × 400 mm), making this 15 tray blast chiller suitable for medium to high-volume food preparation. An integrated automatic defrost system helps maintain efficient operation while reducing manual maintenance, ensuring consistent performance in demanding commercial kitchen environments.
