Friulinox, the premium Italian commercial refrigeration brand, is launching a new range of blast chillers and shock freezers that will meet the needs of all discerning chefs – known as the Z line.
“The main aim of any Chef wishing to use a blast chiller is to preserve their culinary masterpieces exactly as they were cooked,” says Gianni Monai of Friulinox.
“Up to now blast chillers have not met Chef’s expectations due to various factors adversely affecting food such as dehydration, decrease in optimal humidity levels and premature oxidation of fats. Friulinox’s Z line has turned this concept upside-down,” states Monai.
Features in the Z line - which has models that meet all kitchen/catering size requirements - include:
- The Dynamic control of fan speeds which guarantees optimal results for delicate food
- A pre-cooling button to ensure static blast chilling of food as soon as it is placed in the Z line. This avoids the risk of dehydration and oxidation of fats
- A glass door for viewing thefood while chilling so controlled adjustments can me made during this chill-down phase
- A control panel which has been designed to ensure greater visibility and placed on the door for a more ergonomic position
- A Multipoint core temperature probe which assures absolute precision of the chilling process to maintain food quality
- A Vacuum core probe which allows the blast chilling of vacuum cooked food
- An in-built recipe book - developed by Friulinox’s chefs - for quick and easy use of the Blast Chiller
- A control panel already set-up to be connected to a PC for HACCP performance and temperature monitoring
- The facility to input programs and recall them when needed
The Z range also has a wire stainless steel rack support to ensure better air flow circulation in the chamber and a time and temperature recorder with date and hour. It is also possible to install four different probes instead of a multipoint.
As well as last chilling and shock freezing, the Z line will meet all capacity needs from 18kg to 210kg chilling and 12kg to 135 capacity cabinets available.
The beautifully-engineered Friulinox range is distributed in the UK by Frost Tech.
