    INTRODUCTION Blast Chiller Model AP120BC1000-3 is used to rapidly chill cooked foods to temperatures suitable for refrigerated storage. It is capable of lowering the core temperature of most foods from 160 F in 90 minutes. Chiller/Freezer AP120BCF1300-3 has the same chilling capabilities as the Blast Chiller and, when the shock freezing option is selected, is capable of lowering the core temperature of most foods from 160 pans.
