SCOPE: This specification covers the model AP24BCF300-3 HURRiCHiLLTM
Blast Chiller/Shock Freezer. This unit consists of a chilling cabinet complete
with all required controls and accessories. Remote condensing unit sold
separately. Several options are also available.
GENERAL: The cabinet is sized to accomodate one mobile pan rack (not
included) to hold 12” x 20“ x 2 1/2” deep food pans or 18“ x 26” sheet pans
(pans not included). Maximum rack size 29.5" x 33.75" x 72".
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. 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 2-3/4” of CFC-free, high density polyurethane
insulation. The interior 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.
REFRIGERATION SYSTEM: The refrigeration system, as furnished by
manufacturer, is complete with all components, including controls, coated
evaporator coil and blower system. The evaporator is of the forced convection type and designed specifically for blast chilling operation. Air circulation
motors, multi-fin and tube type coils, and fan guards are contained within
the cabinet. Also inlcuded in the cabinet are the liquid line solenoid valve,
termostatic expansion valves, the inlet and outlet connections, and a drain
connection. Access to the evaporator for cleaning shall be via a convenient
hinged, swing-out ventilator panel. Fan motors have inherent overload
protection and the fan blades are guarded to prevent injury.
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.
