Blast chiller capacity only becomes meaningful when the food load and cycle conditions are stated. Tray positions, kilograms per chilling cycle and kilograms per freezing cycle are different figures. For a UAE kitchen, choose around the cooked batch and workflow rather than a model name or headline capacity alone.
Separate tray capacity from cooling performance
Sammic AT-10P 1/1 is listed for ten GN 1/1 trays; that count should not be rewritten as a kilogram cooling claim. For any model, ask for the stated chilling and freezing loads, starting and target temperatures, cycle duration and applicable test conditions.
Match the cycle to the actual food
Describe the recipe, pan depth, portion arrangement and batch frequency. A deep container of dense food and shallow trays create different loading conditions. Establish the food-temperature monitoring and operating procedure appropriate to your kitchen, using the manufacturer's instructions for the selected equipment.
Coordinate hot loading and site services
Measure the route from cooking to chilling and onward to storage. Confirm GN or bakery-tray compatibility, door movement, core probes, drainage and electrical requirements. Appliance dimensions alone do not include every service or ventilation clearance, and the surrounding ambient must suit the exact unit.
Compare complete, documented quotations
Request an itemised offer for the full model, trays or supports, probes, installation and commissioning scope. IRINOX SimplyFresh and Sammic AT-10P are catalogue options to examine against the same brief, not identical-capacity substitutes. Require the quoted performance conditions before comparing equipment cost.
