Polaris GL16 - 16 Tray Genius Multifunction Blast Chiller 85kg

Polaris GL16 - 16 Tray Genius Multifunction Blast Chiller 85kg

At the top of the Polaris Genius Logical range, the GL16 holds 16 trays and blast chills 85 kg or shock freezes 70 kg per cycle. Like the smaller GL05 and GL10, it does far more than chill: it heats, humidifies and holds, so you can thaw, prove, retard, cook at low temperature, pasteurise and then chill in one linked cycle. It suits high-volume kitchens, bakeries, pastry and catering operations that batch-produce and need the extra capacity, in a cabinet 1880 mm tall on a 790 x 1000 mm footprint.

• Holds 16 x 1/1 GN or 600 x 400 trays, with internal runners included
