Why consider blast chillers?

They rapidly cool food products through the danger zone to reduce the risk of contamination. They can reduce labor requirements with innovative designs and interfaces. They can help foodservice operations throughout the Pacific Northwest maintain proper reporting processes to stay compliant with HACCP regulations. And these are just a few benefits of blast chilling.
