Upright freezer FORCAR G-PA800BT

A ventilated pastry freezer keeps delicate pastries, cakes and desserts at deep-freeze temperatures while circulating cold air evenly around every shelf. The fan-driven refrigeration system draws heat away from the stored items faster than static cooling, preventing ice crystals from forming and preserving texture and flavour. Cold air is distributed through a concealed evaporator, leaving the entire interior space free for trays and slides without obstruction from coils or fins. The unit maintains a steady temperature between -18 °C and -22 °C, the range required for long-term storage of professional patisserie without compromising quality or safety. To use the freezer, the operator loads pastries onto the supplied slides, which pull out smoothly for easy access. The electronic control panel is set to the desired temperature within the -18 °C to -22 °C range, and the unit starts automatically. A digital thermostat displays the current temperature, allowing constant monitoring without opening the door. The self-closing door, fitted with a heating element around the frame, prevents condensation and ice build-up, while the automatic defrost cycle melts any frost on the evaporator at set intervals. Condensate water is evaporated automatically, eliminating the need for manual drainage. Once the cycle completes, the freezer returns to the set temperature without operator intervention. The cabinet is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel, with external back and bottom panels in galvanised plate for durability. The interior features rounded corners for easy cleaning, and the door gasket can be removed without tools for maintenance. The reversible door swings either way to suit kitchen layout, and height-adjustable stainless steel feet allow levelling on uneven floors. An interior light illuminates the contents when the door is open, and a lock with key secures the unit when not in use. A 737-litre capacity provides ample space for large batches of pastries, while the 700 W power rating reflects the load on the electrical circuit. The freezer operates on a 220-240 V, 50 Hz supply, the standard for professional kitchens in the UK. The external dimensions of 740 x 990 x 2100 mm determine the floor space required, and the 178 kg weight indicates that the unit is designed to be moved with a trolley or two people. The internal dimensions of 624 x 846 x 1396 mm show the usable height for trays and slides, while the 60 mm insulation thickness ensures energy efficiency even in warm kitchens. The seamless stainless-steel liner lets you slide out trays of frozen éclairs or croissants without snagging, so a quick wipe with a damp cloth restores the surface ready for the next batch. The tool-free gasket should be checked regularly for wear and replaced if damaged. The automatic defrost and condensate evaporation systems reduce manual upkeep, but the evaporator should be inspected periodically for corrosion, as it is treated to resist rust. The ten pairs of slides included with the unit should be cleaned separately to prevent residue build-up. The freezer is classified as energy class D, reflecting its performance under standardised testing conditions. It is designed for environments with temperatures up to +32 °C and relative humidity of 55%, making it suitable for most professional kitchens. The R290 cooling gas is a hydrocarbon refrigerant with low environmental impact. The G-PA800BT is part of FORCAR's sweet-line range, specifically engineered for patisserie storage.
