For over 25 years Williams Refrigeration has continued to be one of the world’s leading manufacturers
and suppliers of commercial refrigeration solutions. With thousands of Blast Chillers, Chiller
Freezers and Freezers installed around the world, Williams has built a global reputation for quality,
performance, durability and ease of use.
Whilst Cook Chill is commonly associated with institutional and airline
catering, no catering operation is too small to adopt a Cook Chill system.
From the smallest caterer to the largest production unit, whether on land or
at sea, Williams offers the innovation and flexibility to answer your needs
with powerful, compact yet sophisticated equipment designed to be cost
effective and simple to use.
Williams customers include many leading in-flight/airline catering companies,
hotel and restaurant chains, hospitals, universities, armed forces, naval and
government facilities such as prisons as well as conference and banqueting
facilities for major sports events and stadia.
Why use a Blast Chiller or Freezer
The principle feature of Blast Chillers, Blast Freezers or Chiller Freezers
is that they are capable of rapidly reducing the temperature of hot foods
from +90°C to low, safe temperatures of +3°C or -18°C. This eliminates
the risk of slow cooling where food can stay at between +60°C and
+10°C for long periods of time. The powerful Williams range is
designed to blast chill and freeze from +90°C enabling you to
exceed the latest Food Safety / HACCP legislation.
Blast Chiller and Freezer Summary:
Is simple to operate.
Reduces food wastage.
Improves time management, efficiency and productivity.
Enables easy menu expansion.
Increases profitability by up to 30%.
Preserves quality, appearance, texture, taste and
nutritional value.

Blast Chillers & Freezers
Soft Blast Chill
Designed to gently chill delicate products from +90°C to +3°C in 90 minutes with the air temperature remaining
above 0°C making it ideal for such products as fish, fruit and vegetables ensuring the texture, taste, aroma,
appearance and nutritional value are maintained.
Hard Blast Chill
This chill cycle is more suitable for denser products with a higher fat content such as meat joints and casseroles,
mashed potatoes and vacuum packed products. Chilling from +90°C to +3°C in 90 minutes with the air
temperature dropping below freezing point during the cycle - whilst ensuring the product stays in prime quality.
Blast Freeze
Rapid freezing of cooked foods to -18°C preventing cell damage to the product, preserving texture, appearance,
taste, aroma and quality as well as nutritional value by converting the water in the product into micro-crystals –
the air temperature of the cabinet reaches -35°C.
Monitoring and Recording
Printer
The high quality thermal IP65 rated printer with a protective cover, features longer lasting
print quality and clear recording of all blast cycle and storage information with space for the

1. It is recommended to use 50mm GN pans to achieve effective rapid cooling within the timescales
given. For quicker results or to increase the product load reduce depth of product to 25mm
2. The water and fat content, plus density of food will all have an affect on time it takes to reach the
desired temperature - always take this into consideration when selecting a cycle

Williams Unique AirSmart Advanced
Airflow System
Ensures your food products stay in perfect con-
dition throughout the blast chilling or freezing
cycle.
Powerful, energy efficient fans and the
equalised air pressure chamber design ensure
that air flows evenly over all food products.
Ensures uniform rapid chilling or freezing
whether product is at the top or bottom of the
blast chiller.
Ensures product stays in perfect condition
eliminating any risk of dehydration, skinning
or damage.
Blast Chilling or Freezing with Williams AirSmart
technology ensures products not only stay in
perfect condition but maintain their taste, texture,
aroma, appearance and nutritional value.
When Blast Chilling or Freezing a less than full load
reduce food thickness by distributing over more pans
/shelves to speed up chilling times.
Soft Chill - even the most delicate of products stays
in prime condition.
Hard Chill - even the most dense products are
evenly chilled to ensure food quality and safety.
Blast Freezing with AirSmart technology
ensures that microcrystals form eliminating the
risk of cell damage to the product as well as
maintaining the colour of the product.
Save time with reduced loads by distributing
the product being chilled over more pans /
shelves. Thinner product loads blast
chill/freeze quicker.
