-QUICK CHILL
APPLICATION
With the ever growing concern for the proper handling of prepared food from the cooking process to chilled, Cospolich has recognized a need, and engineered a refrigerated cabinet which takes prepared food through thought the state as rapidly as possible. The testing done regarding this process doesn't show that there is a significant reduction in the loss of product thorough spoilage, but also has proven that product quick chilled have better quality retention than those chilled conventionally. Yet another positive effect is that a greater volume of product can be processed without requiring additional equipment.
OPERATION
Using a combination of high capacity refrigeration cooling equipment with a design directional air flow system, the optimum in results are achieved in the quick chill process.
The system is designed with two specific modes: the Prechilled and quick chill. Product entered in just after cooking receives the complete capacity of the system in lowering its temperature at a rapid pace. Once product has been reduced the the desired temperature (38°F to 42°F) the product can then be removed and the unit switched to the pre-chill cycle which requires only a portion of the available refrigeration's system's capacity. It is also recommended that whenever quick chilling is not required that the system be left in the pre-chill mode.
-QUICK FREEZER
APPLICATION
When a requirement exits to bring product temperature down to a frozen state in the least possible time, the quick freeze process is the solution. As has been proven through testing, the quality of the product being frozen is significantly enhanced if the freezing process is rapid. The system which Cospolich has designed does have this capability. Is also has a distinct advantage when considering the quantity of product output capability and it's physical size.
OPERATION
Consistent with all Cospolich equipment is the quick chill's effectiveness and ease of operation. In the first stage the interior temperature of the cabinet is reduced to accept the product. This is accomplished using half of the refrigeration capacity. Once the cabinet is drawn town in temperature and cycled, the product can then be introduced and the unit is switched to the rapid freeze mode.
The effectiveness of the rapid freeze system lies in three areas, the proper balance of the refrigeration equipment, the directional flow of air designed into the evaporator coil, and the relationship of product, cooling coils, and interior space.
The unit will automatically switch to the holding freezer cycle once the initial run down process is completed.
