BLAST CHILLER / SHOCK FREEZER

Item Number: DXDBC175

Application

This compact unit has a self-contained,
air-cooled refrigeration system and is
complete with all required controls and
accessories. The microprocessor control
system provides a choice of operating
cycles: soft chilling, hard chilling, shock
freezing, holding, and sterilizing. A heated
core temperature probe is provided for
accurate control of temperature within
the product. The cabinet is sized to
accommodate one mobile rack (not
included) to hold 12” x 20” x 2-1/2” deep
food pans or 18” x 26” sheet pans. (not
included)

Construction

The chilling/freezing cabinet is constructed
of polished type 304 stainless steel, with
2” of CFC-free, high density polyurethane
insulation. The interior corners are fully
rounded. The door is equipped with a
removable magnetic gasket. All motors
are sealed ball bearing wash-down
type. The cabinet floor is insulated (1/2”
CFC-free high density polyurethane)
and is provided with an integral 3” long
ramp to facilitate access. A minimum 6”
clear space is required on the control
panel side of the cabinet for service. A
minimum 12” clear space is required on
the hinge side of the cabinet for door
opening. The door is hinged on
operator’s left.

Refrigeration System

The self-contained refrigeration system
which is mounted on the top of the cabinet,
includes a condensing unit using R-404A
refrigerant. The evaporator temperature
range is +25ºF to – 40ºF.The compressor
is a semi-hermetic type with inherent
overload protection.

Performance

Blast chilling (soft or hard) lowers the
food core temperature from 160°F to
38°F in less than 2 hours. Shock freezing
lowers the food core temperature from
160°F to 0°F within 4 hours. Chilling
and freezing times will vary somewhat,
depending on the food quantity, initial
temperature, density, moisture content,
specific heat, and type of container.
The airflow has a high velocity, indirect
pattern designed to cool all levels at
identical rates. Time/temperature chilling
and freezing rates meet or exceed all
FDA and state regulations.

Microprocessor Control System

The solid state electronic control panel
is user friendly, easy to reach and can be
set for automatic or manual operation.
The heated core probe continuously
measures the product temperature
during the chilling or freezing cycles. At
the end of freezing cycle the probe can
be heated for ease of removal from the

frozen product. Easy to read VFD display
and buzzer alarm are standard features.
All settings are programmable by the
operator. The standard operating cycles
include the following:

• Soft Chilling: The air temperature is
held in the range of 28°F to 35°F, ideal
for delicate food items. The chilling
cycle is completed when the food core
temperature reaches 38°F to 40°F.

• Hard Chilling: The air temperature is
lowered to 0°F. When the food core
temperature reaches 60°F, the air
temperature rises to a range of 28°F
to 35°F. The chilling cycle is completed
when the food core temperature
reaches 38°F to 40°F.

• Shock Freezing: This cycle is designed
to avoid damage to the food structure,
keeping the food free of large ice
crystals. The air temperature is lowered
to and held at -25°F. The freezing cycle
is completed when the food core
temperature reaches 0°F.

• Holding: At the end of any cycle (soft
chilling, hard chilling or shock freezing),
the unit will automatically switch to a
holding mode which will keep the food
at 38°F (chilled) or at 0°F (frozen) until
START/STOP button is pressed to end
the cycle. If the door is opened before
pressing START/STOP button, the
holding mode will resume when the
door is closed and continue until
START/STOP button is pressed.

Options
6” high s/s legs are standard extra heavy
duty 4” diameter casters
2-w/brakes are optional.

Warranty
One year parts and labor.
