CHIL L PROCE SSING CYC LES

The Alto-Shaam Quickchil ler uses high velocity cold air circulation to remov e heat from prepared foods for the purp ose of rapidly reducing temperatures through the danger zone and providing maximum stor age life. Cold air is evenly directed acro ss each pan from the control side of every Quick chiller model to assur e rapid cooling.

The high velocity cold air produce d by the Quickchiller removes insula ting layers of warm moi st air that surroun ds hot products. The rapid remov al of the se insula tin g layers of heat redu ces food temp eratu res signific antly faste r than any oth er met hod of temperature redu ctio n and provides enhan ced food safet y.

Because the basic performance of the Quickchiller relie s on high velocity air movement around each containe r of food, it is importa nt to load the food by placing pans directly into the pan slides. Always use the pan slides to support the edges of 12" x 20" steam table pans (GN 1/1) . Use a wire shelf for pan support when using 18" x 26" sheet pans; 12" x 10" steam tabl e pans (GN 1/2) ; loaf pans; entree plates; and othe r small conta iners.
