Blast chiller SAMMIC 5140149

The SAMMIC AT-20 is a blast chiller freezer designed for rapid temperature reduction of food products. This appliance operates by forcing cold air over food items at a high velocity, significantly accelerating the cooling or freezing process compared to conventional refrigeration. This method helps preserve food quality, texture, and nutritional value by minimising the time spent in the temperature danger zone where bacterial growth is most rapid.

The AT-20 accommodates one trolley loaded with GN 1/1 containers. Its construction features stainless steel with hygienic cathodic protection, making it easy to clean and maintain. The insulation is composed of expanded polyurethane foam, free from CFCs and HFCs, contributing to operational efficiency. High-power compressors are employed to achieve the rapid chilling required for its function, utilising an indirect air flow system. The evaporators are treated with cataphoresis for enhanced durability.

Operation is managed via an advanced control panel. Users can select chilling cycles based on target temperature, a set time duration, or by using a core probe to monitor the internal food temperature. The appliance offers a HARD function for rapid cooling and a SOFT function for deep-freezing applications. All cycle data is stored upon completion. The system allows for customisation and saving of specific cycles and settings to suit various operational needs. Integrated HACCP functions are included for the storage of critical alarms, aiding in food safety management. For enhanced control and monitoring, the AT-20 is equipped with Bluetooth connectivity.

The power requirement for this unit is 3.8 kW, operating on a 400 V, 3-phase electrical supply. Its dimensions are 945 mm in length, 1116 mm in width, and 2445 mm in height. The unit weighs 360 kg.

Cleaning and upkeep are facilitated by the stainless steel construction and the hygienic design. The refrigerant used is Freon, selected for its low GWP content.
