Why this blast chiller earns its place
The Hoshizaki Advance SBU-40-GT JK392 is a commercial blast chiller for kitchens that need a controlled cooling stage after cooking. It handles 45kg on a chill cycle or 28kg when freezing, taking up to ten 1/1GN or 600×400mm trays at a time — enough to move a full batch of cooked product or bakery work quickly from the oven into safe storage.
This is the single-phase SBU-40-GT listing (230V, drawing 1900W), which gives buyers a clear distinction from the three-phase JK393 version. The cabinet is stainless steel throughout and stands 1864.5mm tall on an 800mm-wide by 930mm-deep footprint, sitting on height-adjustable legs for levelling on an uneven floor. At 200kg gross it is a substantial floor-standing unit, so plan the access route to match.
A single-point core probe tracks food temperature through each cycle and triggers the HACCP alarm if limits are exceeded, giving the traceability food-safety audits ask for, while the segment display keeps favourite programmes and fully custom cycles within reach. It runs on R290 refrigerant and carries a Climate Class 5 rating, so performance holds in ambient areas up to +40°C.
