What is a chiller?
A blast chiller is a device that quickly lowers the temperature of food. Blast chillers are also known as blast freezers or blast freezers. They usually have several shelves where food trays or sheet trays can be stored and cooled to extremely low temperatures.
How does a chiller work?
Blast chillers work by applying pressurised cooled air to the food placed inside. This rapid cooling process (blast chilling) decreases the size of ice crystals that appear on the food. When de-icing food, the large ice crystals melt and cause excess moisture to be released, which affects taste and quality.
