The MEHEN MB18T is a high-capacity Blast Freezer / Blast Chiller designed for professional Gelato shops, bakeries, hotels, restaurants, central kitchens, and large-scale food production facilities. The machine rapidly chills or freezes food products, quickly reducing the core temperature to the ideal chilling or freezing level. This process minimizes the formation of large ice crystals, helping preserve the product's texture, flavor, color, and nutritional value.
In Gelato production, the MEHEN MB18T is the ideal solution for the rapid freezing stage immediately after the Gelato is discharged from the Batch Freezer. The blast freezing process creates a protective hardened outer layer, preserving the Gelato's smooth texture, ideal overrun, and serving consistency while minimizing melting and ice crystal formation during storage and display. In addition to Gelato, the MB18T is perfectly suited for blast chilling and blast freezing mousse cakes, cream cakes, pastries, seafood, meat, prepared foods, and a wide variety of other food products.
Constructed entirely from premium stainless steel, the MEHEN MB18T features high-density thermal insulation and a high-efficiency forced-air cooling system that distributes cold air evenly throughout the cabinet. Its digital electronic controller allows users to select either time-based or core temperature-based programs and works in conjunction with a food core temperature probe to ensure precise control of the chilling and freezing process. Once the cycle is completed, the machine automatically switches to storage mode, maintaining product quality while reducing energy consumption.
