SCOPE: This specification covers the model AP5BCF45-2 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 5 pan slides for a total pan capacity of (5) 12” x 20”
x 2 1/2“ steam table pans. A core temperature probe is provided for accurate
control of temperature within the product.
PERFORMANCE: Blast chilling (soft or hard) lowers the food core temperature from 160°F to 38°F within 120 minutes. Shock freezing lowers the food
core temperature from 160°F to 0°F within 4 hours. Chilling/Freezing 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 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. The evaporator temperature
range is +25°F to -40°F. The compressor is a semi-hermetic type with
inherent overload protection.
MICROPROCESSOR CONTROL SYSTEM: The solid state electronic control
panel is user friendly, easy to read and can be set for one of the unit’s three
cycles. All settings are programmable by the user.
