Why is it an essential technology for professional production

blast chiller is a professional technology designed to rapidly reduce the temperature of food, bringing it within controlled times from high temperatures to safe values (+3°C or -18°C at the core of the product).

 

  • Unlike traditional cooling, rapid chilling allows you to:
  • ensure food safety by reducing bacterial growth;
  • preserve structure, flavor and organoleptic properties;
  • keep the product’s aesthetic characteristics unchanged;
  • optimize production processes and workflow management.

 

For this reason, today the blast chiller is not only a technical piece of equipment, but a strategic tool for professionals operating in foodservice, pastry, bakery, deli & gastronomy, retail and large-scale distribution, and the food industry.

 

IRINOX, a long-standing specialist in professional refrigeration, has developed a complete range of blast chillers designed to adapt to different production needs from small artisanal labs to large industrial operations.

 

IRINOX tray blast chillers: control, versatility and precision for the lab

IRINOX tray blast chillers are designed to meet the needs of professional labs, pastry shops, restaurants and advanced kitchens, where flexibility, precision and ease of use are essential.

 

MultiFresh® Next – the multifunction blast chiller for those who want maximum control

 

MultiFresh® Next represents the technological core of the IRINOX tray range.

It is a multifunction blast chiller designed for those who want to manage both hot and cold cycles at every stage of the process, with maximum customization.

It allows operators to work across a wide temperature range and to use dedicated functions for:

 

  • chilling;
  • rapid freezing;
  • hot holding;
  • pasteurization;
  • ready-to-sell;
  • cold holding;
  • low-temperature cooking.

 

The strength of MultiFresh® Next lies in its high-level performance and its sustainable approach to refrigeration: new compressors, fans and the MC3 multi-circuit guarantee faster chilling times, uniform cold distribution even at full load, and reduced energy consumption.

 

The use of the natural refrigerant R-290 ensures maximum energy efficiency, faster cycles and minimal environmental impact without compromising the quality of the final result.

 

 

 

EasyFresh® Next – professional performance and ease of use

 

EasyFresh® Next is the rapid blast chiller designed for those looking for high performance with a simple and immediate interface.

 

  • This solution combines:
  • IRINOX technology;
  • ease of use;
  • focus on energy consumption.

 

EasyFresh® Next includes dedicated chilling and freezing cycles at +3°C and -18°C, with Delicate and Strong modes, Non Stop function, cold holding, controlled defrosting and marinating.

 

Control is managed through an intuitive display, with automatic probe mode or manual time mode, ensuring precision, versatility and operational reliability.
