APPLICATION

The increased concern of product defrosting as well as the economy of time, has made the introduction of the thaw cabinet a necessity. The advantages of such a system are a reduction in spoilage and product loss as well as the ability to handle a great amount of product within a shorter time period. The quality of the product is also retained since there is total control of temperature throughout the thawing process.

OPERATION

By balancing the introduction of defrosting heat with evenly directed and controlled air circulation the thawing process is accomplished in a significantly reduced period of time without spoilage. The system is designed to operate in two separate modes, thaw and refrigerator. Initial frozen product introduced into the cabinet will trigger the thaw cycle. Early on there will be a continual air circulation with the cycling of the heaters, which will speed up the defrosting. While defrosting, the product temperature will not be allowed to rise above 50 degrees F. This is maintained by a back up refrigeration system. The success of the design is based on the balance of heat, air circulation, and refrigeration.

PERFORMANCE DISCLAIMER

The results obtained in using the thaw cabinet are dependent upon many criteria such as product type, size, packaging/room temperature, etc. Therefore it may be necessary to consult with Cospolich engineers or its representatives to gain an understanding of how the equipment will perform in your application.

CABINET CONSTRUCTION

Exterior and interior of all standard cabinets, including front, sides, doors and louvered grill are constructed of heavy gauge, type 304 stainless steel.

Special attention was taken in engineering the doors of the Cospolich cabinet. The door unit was designed to withstand the continuous use and abuse that is common in all food service applications.

Resilient vinyl gaskets which are pre-formed in frames with welded corners, greatly inhibit bacterial growth and are easily replaceable.

Heaters, which are concealed under the thermal breaker strip around the door perimeter, prevent condensation.

REFRIGERATION SYSTEM

All components of the refrigeration system, with the exception of the air handlers, are bottom mounted on a heavy duty base frame behind a louvered grill which is easily removable without the use of tools. The condensing unit is mounted on a slide out rail for ease in cleaning and servicing.

HARDWARE

Positive Iockable latches are included to assure positive latching and sealing. Heavy duty chrome plated hinges are provided on all Thaw Cabinets.

SERVICE AID

An optional service kit, including spare parts and installation instructions, is available for each model.
