The Omcan 48703 Blast Chiller
The Omcan 32 In. 5-Tray Blast Chiller drops food temperatures rapidly through the danger zone to minimize bacterial growth, protect food quality, and extend shelf life. With a blast chill capacity of 40 lb down to 37 degrees F (3 degrees C) and a shock freeze capacity of 26.5 lb down to -40 degrees F (-40 degrees C), this unit handles the cooling demands of hotels, restaurants, and food operation businesses that prepare food in advance. Whether you are chilling a batch of soup that just came off the stove, shock-freezing individual dessert portions, or cooling down seared proteins before vacuum packing for sous vide, this machine gets the job done in minutes rather than the hours it takes in a standard walk-in cooler.
5 In. Touchscreen with Digital Core Probe
The 5-inch touchscreen control panel puts your chilling programs at your fingertips, and the included core probe monitors the internal temperature of your product in real time. Instead of guessing whether that hotel pan of bolognese has reached safe temperature based on time alone, the core probe gives you actual readings so you know exactly when the food is safe. The digital control panel manages both blast chill and shock freeze cycles, and the automatic cold storage function kicks in at the end of the cycle to maintain safe holding temperature until your team is ready to move the product. Manual defrosting is available when ice buildup needs clearing between heavy production runs.
R290 Refrigerant with Scotch-Brite Exterior
The R290 refrigerant is an environmentally friendly hydrocarbon with low global warming potential, keeping your kitchen aligned with evolving regulations. The exterior features a scotch-brite finish for a professional look that hides fingerprints and minor scratches, while the interior has a glossy finish that wipes clean easily after each use. The 2.36 in. high-density polyurethane foam insulation is CFC and HCFC free, providing excellent thermal retention without environmentally harmful blowing agents. Each of the 5 trays measures 18 x 26 inches, matching standard half-sheet pan dimensions. A door switch stops the fan when you open the door, preventing warm air from being circulated into the cabinet. Removable grids and racks simplify cleaning between products. The unit runs on 208V/60Hz single-phase power drawing 4.8A, with an 828W compressor and 995W cooling loading capacity. At 236 lb and 32.2 x 32.5 x 36.6 inches, it fits under a standard counter or sits on a prep table. NEMA 6-15P plug for direct connection.
