Why this blast chillers & blast freezer earns its place
The BLCB5X1 is a compact blast chiller and blast freezer for pulling hot cooked food down through the critical temperature zone quickly, rather than leaving it to cool in ambient. Its operating range of -30 to +70 °C covers both blast-chill and blast-freeze cycles, and it is built in SS304 stainless steel inside and out for a hygienic, wipe-clean surface in a busy prep area.
Cycles are set on a programmable touchscreen controller, with automatic hot-gas defrost keeping the evaporator clear between runs. The door is a single hinged self-closing solid door, and the cabinet runs at 60 dB. Refrigeration is a self-contained R290 circuit with a 130 g charge, drawing 720 W at 220-240 V/50 Hz, so it plugs in without a remote condensing unit.
For fit, the cabinet is 800 × 877 × 840 mm (W×D×H) — sized to sit under a counter or stand alongside the cooking line — with an internal chamber of 440 × 695 × 370 mm (W×D×H). Loading capacity is 156 litres gross and 88 litres net. It weighs 116 kg net and 149 kg gross, so the worktop or floor position needs to take the load.
