Blast chiller SAMMIC 5142178

This SAMMIC blast chiller freezer, article number 5142178, is designed for rapid temperature reduction of food products.

Blast chillers and freezers work by removing heat from food at a much faster rate than conventional refrigeration. This is achieved through powerful refrigeration systems and forced air circulation. The rapid cooling process helps to preserve the food's texture, flavour, and nutritional value by minimising the formation of ice crystals and inhibiting bacterial growth. This unit features indirect air flow for consistent temperature management.

The operating sequence involves loading the food into the unit, selecting the appropriate chilling or freezing programme via the advanced control panel. The panel allows for cycles to be set by temperature, time, or by using a core probe for precise internal temperature monitoring. The HARD function is used for rapid cooling, while the SOFT function is suitable for deep-freezing applications. Once a cycle is complete, data can be stored. Users can also customise and save their own cycles and settings for recurring needs. HACCP functions are integrated for storing relevant alarms.

Construction is in stainless steel, offering ease of cleaning and hygienic operation. The insulation is provided by expanded polyurethane foam, free from CFC's and HFC's. The evaporators are treated with cataphoresis for enhanced durability. High-power compressors drive the cooling process, utilising freon refrigerant with a low GWP content.

The control panel offers customisation and data storage capabilities, alongside built-in HACCP functions. Bluetooth connectivity is also included.

The capacity is rated at 12 GN2/1 containers. The power consumption is 2.4 kW, operating on a 400 V, 3-phase electrical supply. The unit measures 820 mm in width, 859 mm in depth, and 1709 mm in height. It has a weight of 210 kg.

Cleaning is facilitated by the stainless steel construction and hygienic design. The unit is listed in the catalogue under cold equipment and blast freezers.
