Upright freezer TEFCOLD BF850

A pastry freezer removes heat from freshly baked goods so quickly that ice crystals stay small and the structure of cakes, pastries and doughs is preserved. Instead of a still-air cabinet, the BF850 uses a fan to circulate cold air evenly across every shelf. This ventilated cooling prevents hot spots and ensures every tray chills at the same rate, regardless of its position inside the cabinet.

The operator loads up to nine wire shelves with 600 × 800 mm bakery trays or 54 × 5 L Napoli pans. The reversible, self-closing door seals automatically once the last tray is in place. A lock secures the contents overnight or during service. Inside, an LED light illuminates the shelves so trays can be identified without opening the door and letting warm air enter.

Construction is stainless steel 304 throughout, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning in a busy bakery. Four strong wheels allow the freezer to be moved for cleaning or repositioning without lifting. The 0.7 kW power rating reflects the load on the electrical circuit, while the 230 V supply matches standard UK single-phase outlets found in professional kitchens.

The temperature range of -24 to -18 °C opens processes such as blast-freezing delicate pastries, storing frozen dough for later proofing, or holding pre-baked items ready for finishing. The 740 × 990 mm footprint fits through standard kitchen doorways and leaves enough aisle space for staff to open the door fully without obstruction.

Cleaning follows from the materials and construction: stainless steel shelves and interior wipe down with sanitiser, the fan and evaporator coil require periodic vacuuming to remove dust, and the wheels should be checked for debris that could impede movement. The LED light remains cool and does not attract insects, reducing the need for frequent cleaning around the fixture.

The BF850 is a single model; no variants are listed. It is categorised under professional refrigeration for bakeries and patisseries.
