New Irinox MultiFresh® range takes blast chilling to the Next level

Jestic Foodservice Solutions has extended its popular range of Irinox blast chillers with the launch of MultiFresh® Next – the most powerful and efficient blast chillers on the market. With a new natural refrigerant that offers up to 40% quicker chilling and freezing for faster cycles and optimised working times, this new environmentally friendly range guarantees top performance and zero emissions.

MultiFresh® Next is the first range of blast chillers in the world to work with the green refrigerant gas R290, better known as propane. When used in conjunction with Irinox’s latest technology, the MultiCircuit, it ensures the best performance on the market even at partial load, saving up to 40% of energy in chilling and freezing cycles.

As Steve Morris, Sales Director at Jestic Foodservice Solutions explains: “Chefs have relied on high performance Irinox blast chillers for many years to improve food preparation processes and increase products’ shelf-life - helping to reduce costs and waste, and maximise profits. The all new MultiFresh® Next range has been completely redesigned and reengineered and the revolutionary technology offers unprecedented levels of customisation, sustainability, power and innovation and we expect it to be a big hit with customers in the UK.”

The new MultiFresh® Next range can be customised to suit each operations’ precise needs. In fact it is possible to choose between two configurations of cycles and functions: Essential - the starting point for every kitchen with four cold functions; chilling, freezing, non-stop and cold holding, and Excellence - for those who want to take advantage of all the functions of a multifunction blast chiller, together with the new hot and cold functions designed for the most demanding commercial kitchens. In total, MultiFresh® Next includes up to 12 functions and 150 cycles which can be configured by application areas i.e. gastronomy, pastry, bakery and ice-cream.

In addition, there are four types of performance to choose from - Standard: guarantees climate class 4 performance and excellent results and quality in chilling and freezing. In this mode the temperature in the chamber is always uniform thanks to fixed speed fans designed for low temperatures. Turbo: offers maximum performance, power and speed to guarantee excellent results above 40°C environment. This is climate class 5 and enables up to a 30% increase in the chilling or freezing capacity. Eco Silent: The Eco Silent package guarantees efficient performance combined with very low noise emissions. A perfect solution for companies that have to comply with noise limits or pay special attention to the working environment. Turbo Silent:The performance of MultiFresh® Next with the Turbo Silent package combines the performance of the Turbo version with the quietness of the Silent version. The result is a mode with a 30% higher efficiency in chilling and freezing (compared to standard performance), but with even more power and less volume.

Working with MultiFresh® Next is easy and intuitive, and is as simple as using a smartphone, thanks to a touch pad and brand-new interface. Smart Display allows you to work even more easily and intuitively, thanks to a backlit display with a choice of 2 sizes; 4.3’’ and 10’’, both featuring capacitive technology. In addition to the display, you can check the status of the blast chiller from a distance thanks to an LED bar that indicates the progress of cycles and any alarms. You can also connect to your MultiFresh® Next blast chiller from your smartphone with the new FreshCloud™ app to remotely monitor operating data for the current cycle and change settings such as core and chamber temperature, ventilation and phase duration, as well as HACCP reports and all other information useful for the most efficient possible control and use of your blast chiller - even when you are not around or are busy with another task.

The MultiFresh® Next is available in six models: S/M/L suitable to hold GN1/1 or 600 x 400 mm trays SL/ML/LL suitable to hold GN2/1 trays.
