SCOPE: This specification covers the model
AP7BCF70-2-C HURRiCHiLLTM Blast Chiller/Shock
Freezer. This compact unit has a self-contained,
air-cooled refrigeration system and is complete with
all required controls and accessories. Several
options are also available.
GENERAL: The unit has 7 shelf levels for a total pan
capacity of (7) 18” x 26” sheet pans. This model is
provided with one stainless steel wire shelf per level,
sized to accommodate any size pan up to a
maximum of 18” x “26” (pans not included).
PERFORMANCE: Blast chilling (soft or hard) lowers
the food core temperature from 160°F to 38°F within
90 minutes. Shock freezing lowers the food core
temperature from 160°F to 0°F within 4 hours.
Thawing raises the food core temperature from 0°F
to 38°F within 7 hours. Program 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, NSF and state
regulations.
CONSTRUCTION: The chilling/freezing cabinet is constructed of polished
type 304 stainless steel, with 2” of CFC-free, high density polyurethane
insulation. The interior panels have a mirror finish and interior bottom
corners are fully rounded. The door is equipped with a removable magnetic
gasket. The door is hinged on operator’s left. All motors are sealed ball
bearing wash-down type. A 6’ long four wire cord set with a NEMA L6-20P
plug is provided.
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM: The self-contained refrigeration system includes
a condensing unit using R-404A refrigerant and a coated evaporator coil.
The evaporator temperature range is +25°F to -40°F. The compressor is a
semi-hermetic type with inherent overload protection.
TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL SYSTEM: The control system features a 7”
glove-safe capacitive touchscreen that can be easily observed from across
the kitchen. The user friendly interface allows easy and quick access to all the
chilling or freezing cycles, auxiliary cycles, and settings. A Quick Start button
offers the convenience of starting any chilling or freezing cycle with one
touch.
