Reach-in Blast Chillers and Freezers: smart and simple

Williams blast chillers make looking after food quality as easy as 1, 2, 3

Williams’ reach-in Blast Chiller and Freezer (WBCF) range is designed to suit catering operations large and small, offering capacities from 50kg to 10kg.

Their advanced ‘AirSmart’ airflow design has been developed to ensure even product chilling or freezing. It also eliminates product dehydration and ensures food is maintained in the best possible condition.

Meanwhile the cabinets’ Williams Easy Blast (WEB) ‘1, 2, 3’ control panel is a simple to operate system using three easy steps to initiate the blast chill or freeze cycle: select soft chill, hard chill or freeze, select timed cycle or temperature probe-control, and push ‘start’.  Soft chilling ensures that delicate foods can be cooled without damage, while denser foods are chilled safely using the more powerful ‘hard’ option. Once a cycle has been completed, all models then switch to storage mode. This holds the product at the right temperature until the operator is ready to transfer it.

To simplify servicing and maintenance the cabinets have an easy-to-access integral refrigeration system and controller diagnostics. The internal radiused corners optimise airflow and, with the fully removable trayslides and racking, make for easy cleaning.

Standard features include stainless steel construction and 75mm, environmentally-friendly, zero ODP foam insulation for excellent thermal efficiency.  Automatic defrost operates at the end of every cycle, and the cabinets are supplied with anti-condensation heaters and alarms to alert staff that a chill/freeze cycle is complete. All cabinets are provided with heavy duty swivel and brake castors.

The range offers a choice of five sizes from the under counter WBCF10, with a capacity of 10kg, to the WBCF50, which can chill or freeze 50kg of food and can accommodate up to 13 gastronorm pans. All models rapidly reduce the temperature of hot foods from +90°C down to +3°C in 90 minutes (blast chill) or down to -18°C in 240 minutes (blast freeze).

Williams Refrigeration offers a comprehensive range of solutions, from commercial refrigeration to bakery equipment and including a market-leading choice of gastronorm cabinets, modular storage and reach-in and roll-in blast chillers.
