    INTRODUCTION A. Introduction The Models AP40BC250-12, AP40BC250-2-12, BCCP-1, BCCP-2, and BCIP Blast Chillers are used to rapidly chill cooked foods to temperatures suitable for storage in a refrigerator. Blast chillers are sophisticated refrigeration machines capable of lowering the core temperature of most foods from 160°F to 38°F in less than two hours. Blast chilling operations employ high velocity cooled air flow to assure even cooling of the entire food product, and to quickly bring the food temperature through the danger zone in which bacteria multiply rapidly.
