Welbilt Partners With Nuovair to Supply the Most Powerful Blast Chiller in North America

By: via Business Wire

Welbilt, Inc. (NYSE: WBT), a leading global provider of commercial foodservice equipment, is proud to be the exclusive distributor in the United States and Canada of roll-in blast chillers from Nuovair, the Italy-based specialists in high-quality blast chillers.

Nuovair brings the best in blast freezing technology to deliver three times longer shelf life, increased yield and delectable quality – perfectly preserving even the most delicate items on the menu.

Nuovair technology combats four key challenges faced by operators. Firstly, the industry’s highest air-flow rate (9m3/hr) and an electronic expansion valve, which delivers up to 25% faster cooling than a manual valve, saves overcooked food in moments by immediately stopping the cooking process to retain flavor and quality.

Next, evaporation is effortlessly kept in check by the industry’s largest evaporator (10 sq ft). Time is key to overcoming this challenge as 80% of evaporation occurs within the first 15 minutes of the chilling process. Furthermore, Nuovair chills quickly from high temperatures to stop evaporation in its tracks. Chilling from 200F minimizes bacterial growth. The result? A longer shelf life is delivered with higher quality results and safety first. For most competitive models, the operator must cool the food for 20 – 40 minutes before the blast chiller can be used, resulting in greater evaporation and lower yield.

Finally, say goodbye to mushy foods with reduced nutrients. MICROcrystal technology maintains cell structure throughout the freezing process to ensure frozen food has the same quality as fresh. Improved flavor, texture and appearance translates into superior quality – and in turn, increased revenue.

Investing in Nuovair equipment today saves on future workload and costs. Weekly bulk prep eliminates many daily cooking tasks so that labor costs can be reduced by up to 30%. Good for business, and good for the planet, Nuovair also cuts down on food waste. Chilled foods maintain fresh-like quality for 5-6 days, with frozen produce maintaining quality for months.

Introduce a new level of freshness and productivity with Nuovair – the perfect companion to Convotherm’s 20.20 roll-in combi oven.
