The HQC45 QuickChill is designed for rapid chilling of 45 pounds of food (9 pounds of food per pan in five 12" x 20" x 21⁄2" pans or five 18" x 26" sheet pans) from 150°F to 37°F in approximately 90 minutes. The rapid chilling process preserves food quality, texture and nutritional value for up to 5 days. As many as 5 chillings can be handled per 8 hour shift. The Automatic Chill/Hold mode can be used for overnight chilling.

The HQCF45 QuickChill / Freezer is designed to chill exactly like the HQC45 and it can also freeze product down to – 20°F. Freezing time varies according to the initial and final product temperatures as well as product type and quantity. Coated wire shelves can accommodate five full-size 12" x 20" x 21⁄2" pans or five 18" x 26" sheet pans.

The HQC90 QuickChill is designed for rapid chilling of 90 pounds of food (9 pounds of food per pan in ten 12" x 20" x 21⁄2" pans) from 150°F to 37°F in approximately 90 minutes. Optional coated wire shelves can accommodate ten full-size 12" x 20" x 21⁄2" pans or five 18" x 26" x 21⁄2" pans.

Chill and Freeze times are dependent upon product type, thickness, density, thermal conductivity, and type of covering. For best results, approximately 9 pounds of product per 12" x 20" x 21⁄2" pan or 18" x 26" sheet pan is recommended. If more product per pan is being chilled, the time required to chill will be increased.
