• Lower Productivity: Without an efficient cooling process, kitchen workflows slow down. Staff may

have to wait for food to cool before storing or freezing it, which can interrupt the rhythm of preparation

and service. With an Afinox Blast Chiller, chefs can quickly prep, cool, and move on to the next task. In

essence, not having a blast chiller can lead to higher costs, slower kitchen operations, and food safety

risks. It’s important that restaurant owners & kitchen operators deciding on new equipment look at the

costs of not having the right pieces of equipment.

Versatility and Flexibility for Any Kitchen

One of the standout features of the Afinox Blast Chiller Freezer line is its product breath and versatility. These

units come in various sizes and configurations, making them suitable for any type of commercial kitchen—

from small cafes to large institutional kitchens. For operators, this means finding the right fit for their kitchen

without sacrificing space or efficiency. Whether the need is for a compact model or a high-capacity unit,

Afinox provides flexible solutions that don’t compromise on performance.

Reduced Energy Consumption and

Sustainability

In addition to food quality and safety, more kitchens are focusing on

sustainability. For businesses aiming to reduce their environmental

impact, energy-efficient equipment is a must. Afinox Blast Chiller Freezers

incorporate advanced energy-saving technologies, ensuring that operators

can cool and freeze food quickly without overusing power. Afinox

specifications boast the largest compressor power metrics in the industry.

This lowers energy consumption over time, as the unit doesn’t need to

run as long to achieve the desired internal temperature. This efficiency

contributes to sustainability by reducing the overall environmental impact, including lowering greenhouse gas

emissions from prolonged energy use.

Ease of Use: Simplified for Busy Kitchens

One of the primary concerns for any kitchen when adding new equipment is usability. In the heat of service,

chefs and kitchen staff need equipment that’s straightforward and intuitive to operate. Afinox units are

designed with intuitive digital touchscreen controls, allowing operators to set blast chilling, shock freezing,

thawing, proving, slow cooking, and “comby” cycles. A full library of pre-programmed chilling and freezing

profiles are easily selected via colourful icons ensuring consistent, simplistic performance. Afinox units come

standard with a multi-point core probe. A multi-point probe in ensures food is cooled evenly throughout,

preventing hot spots that could affect texture and taste. Without it, the surface of the product may chill too
