Alto-Shaam quickchiller QC-50 Installation And Maintenance Manual

1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Alto-Shaam® Quickchiller is a processing
refrigeration system designed to rapidly and uniformly
cool hot foods through the "chilling danger zone" of
140° to 40°F (60° to 4°C) in two hours or less. Fast
cooling minimizes microbial activity, thereby
controlling quality and sanitation in prepared foods.
As a result, a five-day storage life is achieved.
Chill processing stops all cooking activity. This enables
the operator to accelerate additional preparation
sequences. Chilling also enhances the freshly prepared
characteristics of foods.
Quick chill processing of prepared foods provides a
means to build refrigerated inventories of meals in
individual portions and bulk quantities. Chilled
inventories can be withdrawn and reheated as
required. For complete, comprehensive operating
instructions, refer to booklet No. 265, Quickchiller
Operating Procedure Guidelines.
