Blast chiller and blast freezer rooms
Porkka manufactures the Finnish blast cooling and freezing rooms in various sizes, available in both single-door and pass-through models. Efficient cooling and freezing functions are integral to food safety. Porkka’s blast cooling and freezing rooms also optimally preserve the properties of food products. You can transfer food directly from cooking into the rooms, the cooling starts immediately, and shelf life is extended!
Porkka BC blast chilling and BF blast freezing rooms are designed to meet the needs of large professional kitchens, bakeries, and catering services for rapid and efficient food chilling and freezing. These rooms offer a top-class solution for the blast chilling or freezing of large quantities of food.
Blast chilling rooms consist of BC quick chilling devices (Blast Chiller) and combined BC/BF quick chilling and freezing rooms (Blast Chiller/Blast Freezer).
BC/BF blast chilling and freezing rooms allow for quick commissioning with standard programs. All models are delivered ready for a central machine connection and require drainage for defrost water.

A solution for optimal chilling and freezing
Blast chilling of food preserves the original properties of food products as the temperature drops rapidly. The quality of the food remains nearly intact.
Blast freezing, on the other hand, rapidly freezes the food, for example, in cooked food, the liquid turns into microcrystals without damaging the food’s cellular structure.
Advantages of blast chilling and blast freezing:
- The moisture balance of the food remains almost unchanged, and moisture does not evaporate as it normally would.
- Food waste is reduced as food products are better preserved and last longer.
- Large quantities of food products can be prepared in advance, saving time in production.
- The need for food products can be anticipated, for example, during peak times and other known periods.
