Mint Multifunctional Blast-Chiller: Revolutionize the Kitchen

In today’s fast-paced foodservice industry, efficiency, food safety, and quality preservation are critical to staying competitive. For CEOs, procurement managers, and decision-makers in professional kitchens, investing in cutting-edge equipment like Tecnomac’s Mint Multifunctional Blast Chiller can transform operations, streamline workflows, and elevate your business’s offerings. Designed by Tecnomac, an Italian leader in refrigeration technology since 1963, the Mint is far more than a standard blast chiller—it’s a versatile, high-performance solution tailored for gastronomy, pastry, bakery, and ice cream production. With advanced blast chilling and shock freezing capabilities, the Mint empowers your business to deliver exceptional results while optimizing productivity and ensuring food safety.

Why Blast Chilling and Shock Freezing Matter for Your Business

n professional kitchens, maintaining the quality, safety, and shelf life of food is non-negotiable. Blast chilling rapidly cools food from +90°C to +3°C at the core within 90 minutes, minimizing the time spent in the critical temperature range (+65°C to +10°C) where bacterial proliferation peaks. This process preserves the organoleptic qualities—taste, texture, aroma, and color—while extending shelf life, allowing your kitchen to prepare larger batches without compromising quality.

Similarly, shock freezing takes food from +90°C to -18°C in record time, locking in structure, flavor, and nutritional value. This ensures that frozen products maintain their integrity when thawed, giving your business the flexibility to store and serve high-quality dishes on demand. For CEOs and procurement managers, these capabilities translate to reduced food waste, improved inventory management, and the ability to offer a wider variety of menu items—all of which drive profitability.

The Mint Multifunctional Blast Chiller combines these essential functions with a suite of advanced features, making it a game-changer for professional kitchens. Let’s explore how the Mint delivers unmatched value for your business.
