Techfrost MBF520 blast chiller / blast freezer: 2 trolleys 20 trays GN 2/1 – EN 600X800

The Techfrost MBF520 is a Master line blast chiller and blast freezer, designed and made in Italy, with capacity for 2 trolleys 20 trays GN 2/1 – EN 600X800. Working at -40 °C with indirect airflow over the product, it chills from +90 °C to +3 °C in 90 minutes (360 kg per cycle) and freezes from +90 °C to -18 °C in 240 minutes (235 kg per cycle).

For gelato, a blast freezer hardens the product fast so it forms micro crystals rather than large ice crystals, keeping it smooth and creamy for longer. Techfrost was the first company to develop software to manage the ice cream hardening process in blast chillers.
