QC4-40 Upright Reach-in Blast Chiller
QuickChiller™ blast chillers rapidly and evenly remove heat from virtually any food, minimizing time in the HACCP “danger zone.” Low-temperature, high-velocity air ensure consistent results across soft chill, hard chill, quick freeze, and holding modes. A 7" programmable touchscreen with preset menus simplifies operation, while environmentally-friendly R-290 refrigerant supports sustainability goals. The QC4-40 vertical reach-in design delivers increased pan capacity and high-volume throughput for efficient, food-safe production.

SEE WHAT SETS US ABOVE THE REST
Touchscreen control. The QuickChiller operates with an intuitive touchscreen control and four operational modes. Multiple pre-programmed menu selections allow ideal chilling conditions based upon the type and density of food.
Rapidly remove heat. Alto-Shaam QuickChillers™ are specifically designed to rapidly remove heat from foods using a combination of low temperature and high velocity air. This minimizes food time in the “Danger Zone” (135˚F - 40˚F/57˚C - 4˚C) by up to 80%.
Reduce labor hours. Instead of repeating the same production items every day, cook regular menu items to inventory and chill. Then refresh items as they are needed, reducing prep and cooking times.

KEY FEATURES
- 4 operating modes: Modes include a quick-freeze mode, soft-chill mode for less dense items, hard-chill mode for more dense items, holding mode for chilled or frozen items, and automatic defrost.

- Programmable: Intuitive touch control includes 20 preset menu category selections simplifying the chilling process.

Success Story
Cobo Center
The Cobo Center in downtown Detroit wanted to become an industry leader as it sought to improve its image. To reach this goal, it chose to make a capital investment and updated its kitchen equipment with a plate retherm banqueting system to increase the efficiency of its service as well as retain, if not improve, the quality of its food output.
