Overview

Polar CK640-A G-Series Countertop Blast Chiller 8/5kg

The Polar CK640-A G-Series Countertop Blast Chiller is a compact, powerful unit engineered for professional kitchens where bench space is at a premium. Capable of pulling 8kg of freshly cooked food down from 70°C to a safe 3°C within 90 minutes, and blast freezing a 5kg load from 70°C all the way to -18°C in 240 minutes, it keeps your kitchen aligned with food safety legislation and supports efficient batch cooking workflows. Constructed throughout in durable stainless steel, the unit operates reliably in ambient conditions up to 32°C.

Sized to sit neatly on a countertop, the CK640-A accepts a set of three 2/3 GN pans at 65mm depth (pans are not included and must be purchased separately), and combines 60mm cabinet and door insulation with a self-closing, fully insulated door to maximise thermal efficiency and keep running costs low. User-friendly digital controls and a built-in food probe make precise core temperature monitoring straightforward for all kitchen staff, and the unit arrives with a fitted 10A plug so it can be operational almost immediately after delivery with no technician required. This appliance is intended for fixed installation only and is not designed for deployment in catering vehicles, mobile catering setups, or medical storage applications.

Key Benefits

• Moves cooked food rapidly through the temperature danger zone, guarding against bacterial growth and satisfying food safety and HACCP requirements
