Blast chiller/freezer BLCA3X1

The Tefcold BLCA3X1 brings hot food straight from the stove or oven down to a safe storage temperature, either chilled or frozen. The cabinet takes three GN 1/1 pans, with guides that also accept Euronorm trays (pans not included). The stainless-steel body stands on four adjustable feet.

A touchscreen controller offers preset programmes, including special cycles for fish, ice-cream hardening, drying and defrosting, and lets staff create and save their own. A core probe is supplied. Recipes can be uploaded and HACCP data downloaded through a USB port.

The main programmes hold the end temperature until the door is opened and the programme is switched off. The self-closing door is reversible, and defrost is automatic by hot gas. Blast chilling from +70 to +3 °C in 90 minutes (12 kg); blast freezing from +70 to −18 °C in 240 minutes (8 kg).
