Polar UA014-A U-Series Blast Chiller with Touchscreen Controller 3x GN 1/1

Polar UA014-A U-Series Blast Chiller with Touchscreen Controller 3x GN 1/1

The Polar UA014-A is a compact yet powerful blast chiller and freezer from the premium U-Series range, designed for professional kitchens that demand reliable rapid temperature reduction. Built with stainless steel construction inside and out, it accommodates three GN 1/1 trays and uses the environmentally responsible R290 refrigerant (GWP 3) to chill food from 70°C down to 3°C in just 90 minutes, or blast freeze to -18°C within 240 minutes, keeping your operation firmly within food safety requirements.

At the heart of this unit is an intuitive LCD touchscreen controller that lets kitchen staff select pre-set cooling cycles or program and save their own custom 'recipes' for repeat use at the touch of a button. Practical features such as lockable castors, a reversible door, an included food probe, and easy-clean surfaces make the UA014-A a highly versatile addition to any commercial kitchen environment, supporting HACCP compliance and efficient batch cooking workflows.
