Commercial blast chiller freezers combine rapid chilling and freezing in a single unit, giving professional kitchens greater flexibility when preparing and storing food. Depending on the model and selected cycle, these machines can rapidly reduce the temperature of freshly prepared food for chilled storage or freeze food for longer-term storage.
Our range of blast chiller freezer combination units includes countertop and larger-capacity models for restaurants, hotels, pubs, catering operations and other professional foodservice environments. Different models offer varying capacities, GN container configurations and chilling and freezing performance, allowing you to choose equipment suited to your kitchen and production requirements.
A combination blast chiller freezer can be particularly useful where both rapid chilling and freezing are required but separate machines are not practical. Using one unit for both processes can provide greater flexibility within the kitchen and allow prepared food to be processed according to the requirements of each dish or production cycle.
Depending on the model and cycle selected, some blast chiller freezer combination units can reduce food from around 70°C to 3°C within 90 minutes for rapid chilling, while freezing cycles can reduce food from around 70°C to -18°C within 240 minutes. Actual performance varies between machines, so the manufacturer's specifications should always be checked for the required capacity and cycle times.
When choosing a blast chiller freezer, consider how much food you need to process in each cycle, the size and number of GN containers or trays you use, the available space in your kitchen and the electrical supply required. Capacity, chilling performance and freezing performance can vary significantly between models.
Our commercial blast chiller freezer combinations are available from leading catering equipment manufacturers including Polar, Williams, Electrolux and Tefcold. Compare the available models to find a combination unit with the capacity and performance required for your professional kitchen.
