Why Buy the Mercatus Y5-500 Blast Chiller & Freezer?
When optimum food safety is essential, the Mercatus Y5-500 Blast Chiller & Freezer is the perfect solution. Designed to operate as both a blast chiller and a blast freezer, it makes light work of pulling down the core temperatures of up to 20kg of food, through the food danger zone where bacteria is most likely to multiply. Complying with food safety guidelines the Y5-500 has 4 pre-settable programs to accommodate hard or soft chilling or freezing.
For increased versatility and convenience in busy commercial kitchens, the Y5-500 also operates effectively as a storage cabinet.

The tall, upright cabinet accepts 1/1 gastronorm containers allowing multiple dishes to be transferred to and from equipment in minimum time.
