Food safety clocks start ticking the moment cooking stops, and this 13.1 cu. ft. commercial blast freezer beats them by pulling hot food from 194 F to 37.4 F in about 120 minutes, or all the way to minus 0.4 F in about 300 minutes in blast freeze mode; actual times vary with temperature and load. Four modes, hard chill, freeze, shock freeze, and soft freeze, match the needs of lobster, salmon, ice cream, cakes, and pre-prepared meals, making the chiller a fit for seafood restaurants, Western dining rooms, and central kitchens. Overload protection, automatic defrosting, precise temperature control, and intelligent alarms simplify daily operation, and an included temperature probe monitors the core of the food itself. The thickened door insulated with cyclopentane and an automatic closing design minimize cold-air loss, while R404A refrigerant improves efficiency and keeps operating costs in check. Food-grade 304 stainless steel forms the body, and 15 thickened, adjustable stainless trays measuring 23.6 x 15.7 x 1.1 in. lift out for easy cleaning. Noise-reducing fans on the evaporator and condenser keep the unit quiet, and casters make repositioning practical. Plan electrical work ahead: the unit ships without a plug and requires a 220V three-phase circuit breaker purchased separately.
