Blast Chiller Quick Start Checklist

Starting a Chill Cycle - All Models

Load product into the blast chiller. Both full and partial loads are OK,

but for best results evenly distribute product throughout the interior

tray slides or roll-in rack.

Insert a food probe into the top, bottom and middle level pans. The

probe should be located in the center of the food pan, at about the

halfway point of the product depth.

Close the door.

Press the EZ Start button.

The Blast Chill Process - All Models

While in a blast chill cycle, cold air is rapidly being circulated around

the food pans in order to remove heat as rapidly as possible.

Actual chill times will vary depending on many product related factors

such as starting temperature, product density, cycle load, content, etc.

To insure food safety, the probes constantly monitor product core

temperature(s) throughout each chill cycle, as well as during any

holding period afterwards. Reports available at the end of each chill

cycle can then be used by the operator to confirm that both FDA

critical control points were met in accordance with the current food

code.

Concluding a Chill Cycle - All Models

Upon each probe reaching target temperature (37°F) an audible alarm

will sound for 30-seconds, and the probe number on the control

display will continuously flash “DONE.”

Press the button alongside the probe flashing “DONE” in order to

conclude that probe’s batch.

The control will now display the print menu.

3a. Press BOTH to receive both record and label printouts

3b. Press RECORD to receive only the record printout

3c. Press LABEL to receive only the label printout

3d. Press NONE if no printouts are desired.

NOTE: After printing has completed for either the RECORD, LABEL or

BOTH, the control will continue to display the print menu until NONE

is selected. This allows for multiple copies of each to be printed as

needed.

Repeat for any remaining probes as they complete in turn. Pressing

NONE after the final probe has completed returns the display to the

MAIN MENU.

Any probes used should be properly sanitized prior to use in another

batch.

For more details and/or to make use of other

control features please refer to pages 12 - 23 of this manual.

Basic Operating Guidelines

Chilling Within HACCP Guidelines

The current FDA Food Code allows much more time for safe chilling

than 90-minutes. This actually requires two critical control points of:

a) From 135°F to 70°F within two hours, then...

b) From 70°F to below 41°F within four hours, for a total chill time

from 135°F to below 41°F of no more than six hours.

Total chill times can exceed six hours in duration and still be safe.

This safety threshhold does not include:

a) Any time needed for product to chill from any start temp down to

135°F, or...

b) Any time elapsed to chill to below 41°F.

To achieve quickest chill times product should be loaded into pans to

a depth of no greater than 2”.

Products should always be loaded into the shallowest pan possible.

Chilling of products of greater than 2” depth is often possible within

FDA guidelines. However please note that actual chill times are a

function of: Start Temperature, Product Density, Product Depth, and

Total Load.

Chilling of products, such as whole cooked chickens or meatloaf can

be accomplished. However these should be positioned inside the

chiller to allow the air-flow to contact the greatest surface area of the

product.

Covering

1) Product does not always need to be covered. However before doing so

please consider the following potential scenarios...

a) If large loads of especially hot product are chilled there is the

potential to freeze the coil.

b) Loads of uncovered product that require especially long chilling

times may have the potential to experience surface drying.

c) Loads that are left uncovered in the chiller for long periods after

completion of a chill cycle may also experience surface drying of

the product if left uncovered.

d) Loads of especially liquid product, such as soup, are highly

recommended to be covered in order to prevent accidental

spillage.

e) Some foods, such as rice and pasta, are particularly vulnerable

to drying and so should always be covered.

Use of Food Probes

For most accurate results food probes should be used. These need to

be properly placed in the center of the thickest part of the product to

insure an accurate temperature reading.

Some products are not suitable for use of food probes. These

products...

a) Should be chilled BY TIME.

b) The correct chill time should be established by the operator based

upon actual product testing.

c) The end cycle temperature should be verified manually with an

clean, accurate thermometer as soon as the pre-established chill

time elapses.

For details about using your Traulsen blast chiller within a

cook/chill operation please refer to form number TR99999.

II. RECEIPT INSPECTION

III. INSTALLATION (continued)

III. d - INSTALLING LEGS OR CASTERS (cont’d):

box(es), it should contain either four (4) legs or casters

(RBC50 x 8 or RBC100 x 4 and four bolts for each caster).

All Traulsen products are factory tested for performance

and are free from defects when shipped. The utmost

care has been taken in crating this product to protect

against damage in transit. All interior fittings have been

carefully secured and the legs or casters are boxed and

strapped inside to prevent damage. Door keys will be

attached to the handle with a nylon strip. The handle is

protected by an easily removable nylon netting.

WARNING: THE CABINET MUST BE BLOCKED AND

STABLE BEFORE INSTALLING LEGS OR CASTERS.

To install the legs or casters, first raise and block the

unit a minimum of 7” from the floor. For installing legs,

thread the legs into the threaded holes on the bottom of

the cabinet (see figure 1). Be certain that all legs are

tightened securely. When the unit is set in its final posi-

tion, it is important for proper operation that the unit be

level. The legs are adjustable for this purpose, turn the

bottom of the leg counter-clockwise to raise it, clock-

wise to lower it. Level the unit from front to back as well

as side to side in this manner, using a level placed in the

bottom of the cabinet.

You should carefully inspect your Traulsen unit for dam-

age during delivery. If damage is detected, you should

save all the crating materials and make note on the

carrier’s Bill Of Lading describing this. A freight claim

should be filed immediately. If damage is subsequently

noted during or immediately after installation, contact

the respective carrier and file a freight claim. Under no

condition may a damaged unit be returned to Traulsen

without first obtaining written permission (return autho-

rization).

Fig. 1

III. INSTALLATION

III. a - LOCATION:

Select a proper location for your Traulsen unit, away from

extreme heat or cold. Allow enough clearance between

the unit and the side wall so that the door (s) may open

a minimum of 90°.

Fig. 2

III. b - PACKAGING:

Please note that Traulsen units are not designed to be

moved while on legs. If the unit requires moving, a pal-

let jack or forklift should be used to prevent damage.

For installing casters, the casters are “plate” type, and

require the use of four (4) bolts each to secure them

firmly to the cabinet bottom at each corner (see figure

2). The caster bolts are tightened using a 1/2” socket

wrench.

All Traulsen units are shipped from the factory bolted to

a sturdy wooden pallet and packaged in a durable card-

board container. The carton is attached to the wooden

skid with the use of large staples. These should first be

removed to avoid scratching the unit when lifting off the

crate.

To remove the wooden pallet, first if at all possible, we

suggest that the cabinet remain bolted to the pallet dur-

ing all transportation to the point of final installation.

The bolts can then be removed with a 3/4” socket

wrench. Avoid laying the unit on its front, side or back

for removal of the pallet.

II. e - ASSEMBLY OF MODELS RBC400 & RBC400RT:

Double depth roll-in/roll-thru units are shipped as two

separate components which must be attached together

at the jobsite. To accomplish this, first, place the front

and rear cabinets in close proximity to each other being

careful to align the drain from the front of the rear unit

to the drain of the front unit. It will be necessary to level

both units together at this time.

NOTE: Traulsen does not recommend laying the unit

down on its front, side or back. However, if you must

please be certain to allow the unit to remain in an up-

right position afterwards for 24 hours before plugging it

in so that the compressor oils and refrigerant may settle.

Next, using two pipe clamps, pull the units together (see

figure 3). Install the covers over the gap formed between

the units From inside the cabinets, using the screws

provided, install the breaker strips using the strip as a

template.

III. c - WIRING DIAGRAM:

Refer to the wiring diagram for any service work per-

formed on the unit. Should you require a wiring dia-

gram, please contact Traulsen Service at (800) 825-8220,

and provide the model and serial number of the unit in-

volved.

III. j - REMOTE CONDENSING UNIT REQUIREMENTS:

III. i - CONDENSATE REMOVAL:

This section applies only to models RBC200/200RT and

RBC400/400RT. A remote condensing unit, operating on

R-404A refrigerant, is required for Blast Chill operation

on these models. The remote condensing unit should

be capable of providing 18,700 BTU/hr @ -10°F evapora-

tor temperature in a 90°F ambient environment.

All Traulsen Blast Chill models (except model RBC50)

require the use of a floor drain or floor mounted electric

condensate evaporator.

Model RBC100 requires either a floor drain or the use of

an optional bottom mounted electric condensate evapo-

rative pan kit (BCACC-BMCE) for condensate removal.

The standard drain port location is at the rear of the unit

(see figure 7).

4 HP air-cooled and 3 HP water-cooled remote condens-

ing units are available from Traulsen as an optional ac-

cessory. Increased capacity of the remote condensing

unit and line sizing will depend on the length and layout

of the connecting piping from the remote condensing

unit to the Blast Chill unit. Proper line sizing should be

defined by a qualified refrigeration engineer or techni-

cian.

RBC400/400RTRT Roll-In and Roll-Thru cabinets set

on the floor require the floor area to be flat and level. In

addition, after the cabinet is set in place, sealant should

be used around the perimeter of the base to comply with

NSF International requirements. After sealing the unit,

the enclosed ramp should then be installed.

Fig. 7

Models RBC200 and RBC200RT require either a floor

drain or the use of an optional floor mounted electric

condensate evaporative pan kit (BCACC-FMCE) for con-

densate removal. Two drain ports are provided, located

at the right side and rear of the unit. Plug the unused

drain port with the male pipe thread plug supplied (see

figure 8).

III. m - ON/OFF SWITCH:

The Traulsen Blast Chiller models are all equipped with

a power ON/OFF switch intended to cut power to the

control as needed. In the event of routine maintenance

and/or service is needed, be certain to disconnect the

electrical power to the machine and follow lockout/tagout

Procedures.

Model RBC50 is shipped with the control panel detached,

and laid flat, taped to the cabinet top (see figure 9). This

must be installed before use. To install:

WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER

SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING ANY PARTS OF THE

UNIT.

IV. a - CLEANING THE CONDENSER:

The most important thing you can do to insure a long,

reliable service life for your Traulsen is to regularly

clean the condenser coil. The self-contained condens-

ing unit requires regularly scheduled cleaning to keep

the finned condenser clean of lint and dust accumula-

tion. Keeping the condenser clean allows the cabinet

to operate more efficiently and use less energy.

To clean the self-contained condenser, first discon-

nect electrical power to the cabinet and lift up the front

louver assembly. To lift this, remove the two screws

located on both sides at the bottom of the louver as-

sembly. Once the screws are removed, the panel can

be pivoted upwards allowing full access to the front

facing condenser (for model RBC50, remove the four

Phillips head screws from the front louver panel, and

lift-off). Vacuum or brush any dirt, lint or dust from

the finned condenser coil, the compressor and other

cooling system parts. If significant dirt is clogging

the condenser fins, use compressed air to blow this

clear. Lower louver assembly and replace screws to

hold it in place. For care of the remote condensing

unit(s) used for models RBC200 & RBC200RT, consult

the manufacturer’s product literature.

Fig. 9

Remove the packing material and tape holding the con-

trol to the top. Remove and retain the six (6) Phillips head

screws attaching the control cover to the frame. Also, re-

move and retain the 1/4- 20 x 1/2” screws found in the

cabinet top. Next, position the control frame over the hole

in the unit top and attach using 1/2-20x1/2” screws (see

figure 10).

IV. b - PRINTER SUPPLIES:

Supplies to support the both standard SmartChill^®

control printers are available directly from our Parts

Department, or from your local Hobart Sales and

Service Office. In addition it may also be possible to

obtain one of these locally. The record printer paper is

standard thermal paper which is readily available at

most office supply outlets. Specifications are 2-1/2"

wide by 85" long:

Traulsen P/N 400-60003-00

Office Depot #302-224

Staples #PMF-5233

Fig. 10

The label printer uses a special peel-off label stock,

Traulsen part number 400-60004-00. Each roll contains

225 labels.

NOTE: Extreme care needs to be taken to insure that:

a- all wires connecting the control cover to the RBC50 are

not damaged in any way, nor mistakenly mounted between

the cover and cabinet during installation, which could re-

sult in a short circuit, or...

IV. c - INSTALLING PRINTER PAPER:

To load the record printer paper, place a roll on the roll

shaft. Position the paper such that the paper feeds

from the back of the roll. This allows the thermal sen-

sitive side of the paper to be on the upper surface as it

feeds through the printer. The ends of the roll shaft

are installed in the two roll holders.

b- that no connections are pulled off the control.

NOTE: Ensure that grommet is firmly in place, aligning

round hole in bottom of control housing with round hole

in unit top.

Inspect paper roll, label roll, and spindles from rear of con-

trol panel before installing panel. Reattach the control

cover to the frame using the six (6) Phillips head screws

Gently pull the feed door down and slightly forward. It

is located on the bottom of the printer and will open

about 90 degrees. Feed the paper into the loading slot

directly behind the door and push it up until the paper

previously removed.

VI. f - IN THE EVENT OF A POWER INTERRUPTION:

Following a power interruption, the system resumes

at the previous activity. A report will also be printed

containing the time of the power loss and the time of

power return.

The SmartChill^®controller provides the ability to:

• Select the chill mode: By Product, By Time or By

Temperature (chill or freeze)

• Display the current air and product temperatures

and time.

• Monitor product temperatures with three smart

probes to reduce chances of freezing.

• Select Soft Chill to reduce the chances of

freezing in the final phase of chilling.

• Provide service diagnostics to quickly check

machine functions and control circuitry.

• Send Chill^®Cycle data via an RS232 port to

SmartChill^®computer software, providing state

of the art HACCP data management.

VI. g - GETTING STARTED:

The Traulsen Blast Chiller is designed to chill its

respective capacity of hot product from 135°F down to

40°F in approximately 90 minutes if loaded in pans no

more than 2” deep. However, it is important to follow

all the preceding guidelines for product loading and

batching in order to duplicate this performance

on-site.

Once you have insured that product is properly loaded

into the pans and batched correctly, proceed to the

nextsectioninordertocorrectlyoperatetheSmartChill

controls chill feature modes.

VI. b - PRINTING CAPABILITY:

The standard printer provides the ability to:

•

Print data from the last chill cycle with time,

date, and temperature information.

•

Charts chill temperatures vs. time at intervals

that can be set by the supervisor.

VI. h - EZ START FEATURE:

All Traulsen Blast Chillers built after June 1, 2006

include an “EZ-Start” feature which allows a blast

chill batch to be initiated with the touch of a single

button located on the main menu.

The label printer can print a condensed "LABEL" type

of report with both PRODUCT and USER information.

VI. c - CONTROL BASICS:

Please note that in order to use this feature, one or

more of the food probes must first be placed into hot

product which is at least 40°F warmer than the interior

cabinet temperature

Begin by choosing a selection from the menu that

appears on the control's display by pressing the button

graphically connected to the display prompt. Four

buttons are arranged on the left and four on the right.

For example, to select BY TEMP, press the second

button on the left.

When using this feature the factory preset chill cycle

parameters are: Blast Chill, By Temperature, with a

product end-point of 37°F, and are not adjustable by

the operator.
