Upright freezer GEMM 45010505

A pastry freezer keeps delicate baked goods at precise temperatures without drying or freezing damage. It draws heat from the cabinet with a refrigeration cycle, then circulates chilled air gently through the interior. The indirect ventilation system prevents direct blasts of cold air from touching the pastries, maintaining even cooling and high humidity. This method extends shelf life and preserves texture, which is essential for items like croissants, éclairs and layered cakes that lose quality quickly in standard refrigeration. The operator loads 600x400 mm trays onto the adjustable runners, setting the spacing to suit the height of each item. The touch control panel is used to select the target temperature between -22 °C and 10 °C, allowing the freezer to switch between deep-freeze storage and chilled display. Once the temperature is set, the unit runs automatically, defrosting with hot gas and removing condensate without manual intervention. The digital display shows the current temperature, so the operator can check it at a glance without opening the door. The cabinet is built from stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning in a busy kitchen. The walls are insulated with 75 mm thick foam, which reduces heat gain and keeps the temperature stable even when the door is opened frequently. The refrigerant is R290, a hydrocarbon that has low environmental impact and high efficiency. The unit is designed to work in hot, humid kitchens, meeting climatic class 5 requirements. The control panel includes a 2.8-inch touch screen that sets the temperature and monitors the cooling cycle. The automatic defrost system uses hot gas to melt ice from the evaporator, and the condensate is drained away without manual emptying. The runners are spaced at 16.5 mm intervals, giving 74 possible positions so the operator can organise the trays to fit different sizes of pastries and desserts. A 304 L capacity allows the freezer to hold a large quantity of trays while keeping the footprint compact. The 0.65 kW power rating means it draws a moderate load on a standard 230 V circuit, suitable for most professional kitchens. The 148 kg weight requires two people to move the unit safely, and the dimensions of 790 mm wide, 690 mm deep and 2140 mm high fit through standard doorways and into most storage areas. The seamless stainless steel interior wipes clean in seconds, letting you reset the freezer between pastry batches without scrubbing or lingering odours. The runners can be removed for thorough cleaning, and the automatic defrost and condensate removal reduce the need for manual maintenance. The freezer is supplied with twenty pairs of runners for 600x400 trays, ready to use without additional accessories.
