Designed to rapidly reduce the temperature of cooked food from up to 100°C, the SP40BC minimises the time food spends in the temperature danger zone, helping to reduce bacterial growth and extend product shelf life. Suitable for restaurants, hotels, schools, care homes, production kitchens and catering operations, it is an excellent choice for cook-chill and batch preparation.
Manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel, this robust cabinet features ventilated cooling, automatic defrost and shelf supports suitable for both GN1/1 gastronorm pans and 600 x 400 bakery trays, offering excellent flexibility across a wide range of catering applications.
