Overview

Williams WBCF40 Reach-In Blast Chiller Freezer 40 kg

The Williams WBCF40 is a professional reach-in blast chiller and freezer designed to rapidly reduce the temperature of hot cooked food, protecting food safety and preserving quality. Built in Australia from 304 stainless steel, it operates on a self-contained R404a refrigeration system and is rated for tropical ambient conditions up to 43°C, making it well suited to demanding commercial kitchen environments.

Controlled by the Williams CoolSmart digital controller with intuitive 1-2-3 cycle initiation and AirSmart fan-assisted airflow technology, the WBCF40 simplifies blast chilling and freezing across a 10-tray capacity. It supports HACCP compliance and batch cooking workflows, helping kitchens meet food safety regulations while extending the shelf life and eating quality of prepared food.

Key Benefits

• Rapidly chills or freezes large batches of hot food to safe temperatures, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and supporting HACCP compliance.
• Preserves moisture, texture and flavour by minimising ice crystal formation during the rapid cooling process.
• AirSmart fan-assisted airflow technology ensures consistent temperature distribution across all 10 trays for uniform results.
• Simple 1-2-3 cycle initiation reduces operator training requirements and minimises the chance of user error during busy service periods.
• Automatic evaporator defrost and a store mode activate after each cycle, reducing manual maintenance and keeping the unit ready for the next batch.
• Rated for operation in tropical ambient conditions up to 43°C, delivering reliable performance in hot kitchen environments.
• Supports batch cooking and cook-chill workflows, allowing kitchens to prepare food in advance and manage labour more efficiently.
• LED interior lighting and a digital LED display make monitoring and managing cycles straightforward during operation.
