Blast Chiller/Freezer D14

A blast chiller is a piece of equipment that quickly lowers the temperature of food. Blast chillers are also referred to as blast freezers or flash freezers. They typically have multiple shelves where food pans or sheet pans can be stored and chilled at extremely low temperatures.Blast chillers or freezers operate by blowing forced cooled air over food placed inside. These specialized freezers usually have a number of different settings that can be selected depending on if your food is room temperature, chilled, or hot. This rapid cooling process decreases the number of ice crystals that appear on food. When defrosting food, large ice crystals melt and cause excess moisture to release, which largely impacts the taste and quality of your food products.
