Blast chiller SAMMIC 5140190

The SAMMIC Blast Chiller AT10 1/1 is a shock freezer designed for rapid temperature reduction of food products. This type of equipment operates by circulating cold air at high velocity around the food, significantly accelerating the cooling process compared to standard refrigeration. This rapid chilling helps to preserve food quality, texture, and nutritional value by minimising the formation of ice crystals and inhibiting bacterial growth.

The blast chiller facilitates quick chilling down to +3 °C and deep-freezing to a core temperature of -18 °C within a four-hour timeframe. It employs high-power compressors to achieve these rapid temperature changes. The airflow is indirect, ensuring even cooling without directly exposing the food surface to harsh draughts. The unit utilises Freon refrigerant for its cooling cycle, and the evaporators are treated with cataphoresis for enhanced durability.

Operation is managed through programmable cycles. Users can select cycles based on temperature, time, or a core probe. Specific functions include a HARd setting for rapid cooling and a SOFt setting for deep-freezing. The blast chiller can store data at the end of each cycle. It also offers the capability to customise and save frequently used cycles and settings. Optional cycles are available for defrosting, internal sterilisation, cooling by core probe, and ice cream freezing.

Constructed from stainless steel, the blast chiller features hygienic cathodic protection. It is equipped with both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, and includes Ozone sterilisation.

The unit has a capacity for 10 GN 1/1 containers. Its power consumption is rated at 3.6 kW. The external dimensions are 820 mm in length, 800 mm in width, and 1750 mm in height. The operating temperature range is from 90 °C down to 3 °C. It requires a voltage supply of 230-400 V and weighs 190 kg.

The catalogue places this product within the cold equipment and blast freezers category.
