Blast chiller SAMMIC 5140183

The SAMMIC Blast Chiller AT-3 2/3 is a shock freezer designed for rapid temperature reduction of food products. This type of appliance operates by extracting heat from food at a much faster rate than a standard refrigerator. It achieves this through high-power compressors and an indirect airflow system, which circulates cold air efficiently to lower the food's core temperature quickly.

The process typically involves placing food, which might have just been cooked and is at a high temperature, into the blast chiller. The operator initiates a cycle, selecting either a rapid cooling function (HARd) for chilling down to +3 °C or a deep-freezing function (SOFt) to reach a core temperature of -18 °C. This rapid chilling or freezing is completed in under four hours. The unit allows for cycles to be programmed by time, temperature, or using a core probe. Custom cycles and settings can be saved for repeated use. Additional optional cycles include defrosting, internal sterilisation, cooling by core probe, and ice cream freezing. Data from completed cycles can be stored.

Constructed from stainless steel, the blast chiller features hygienic cathodic protection, making it easy to clean. The evaporators are treated with cataphoresis. Connectivity options include Bluetooth and WI-FI, and the unit incorporates ozone sterilisation.

The capacity is rated as 2/3. The maximum temperature achievable is 90 °C, and the minimum is 3 °C. The unit requires a 230 V electrical supply and has a power consumption of 0.7 kW. Its external dimensions are 600 mm in length, 605 mm in width, and 400 mm in height. The appliance weighs 42 kg.

Cleaning and upkeep are facilitated by the stainless steel construction and hygienic design. The unit uses Freon refrigerant.

This appliance is listed for cold equipment and blast freezers.
