What is a blast chiller?

A blast chiller is a dynamic cooling instrument, able to quickly lower the temperature inside the chamber, allowing a sudden stop of the ageing of your product. The slowing or blocking the degenerative cycle allows you to maintain the organoleptic properties of your food unaltered for optimal storage over time.

BLAST CHILLING

Blast chillers are capable of chilling hot food from +90°C to a core temperature of +3°C. Once this core temperature is achieved, the program will automatically switch to holding mode and the appliance will keep working as a normal refrigerator storing food at a temperature ranging between 0°C and +5°C or a sonar alarm will let you know the cycle has finished so the product can be removed for storage at correct temperature.

BLAST FREEZING

Blast freezers, or shock freezers as they are widely known, are capable of freezing hot food from +90°C to a core temperature of -18°C. Once this core temperature is achieved, the program will automatically switch to holding mode and the appliance will keep working as a normal freezer storing food at a temperature ranging between -18°C and -25°C or a sonar alarm will let you know the cycle has finished so the product can be removed for storage at correct temperature.

Benefits Of Blast Chilling: Food Safety

If food has to be preserved for a long time, blast chilling or blast freezing temperature is critical to respect food standards for time and temperature, ensuring total food safety. Preparing a quantity of food in advance by cooking, chilling and holding it at +2/+3 °C enables kitchen operators to face unexpected peak demand periods, increase the menu options available for customers, optimize the use of food service equipment and substantially reduce the amount of food processing waste and leftovers.
