This Randell BC-18 Upright Blast Chiller (Serial W1744053-1) is a professional-grade rapid chilling unit designed to bring hot cooked food from 135°F down to safe holding temperatures in compliance with HACCP and food safety guidelines. Powered by 115/230V single-phase 60Hz electricity and rated at 20 amps, it uses R-404a refrigerant and is NSF and UL listed for commercial use. The unit features a digital controller with Auto mode (probe-based chilling), Manual/Timer mode, Defrost mode, and Hold mode, along with four individual food temperature probes mounted inside the chamber for precise, simultaneous monitoring of multiple food pans. The interior is fitted with a two-tier wire rack and pan slide system to accommodate standard GN or hotel pans.
This unit is in used condition consistent with active commercial kitchen deployment. The exterior stainless steel is intact with normal surface wear, and the control panel appears complete with all buttons and indicator LEDs present. The interior chamber shows significant food staining and use residue that will require thorough cleaning before return to service. All four temperature probes are present in their brackets, though the probe cables show yellowing and some connector discoloration that should be tested prior to use. The condenser panel shows dust buildup and should be cleaned. Overall the unit appears structurally sound and functionally complete, but buyers should plan for professional cleaning and probe/refrigeration system verification.
Ideal for high-volume foodservice operations, institutional kitchens, catering commissaries, hotel banquet kitchens, and any HACCP-critical cook-chill program. The Randell BC-18 is a well-regarded unit in the blast chilling category and a cost-effective alternative to new equipment for operations looking to implement or expand cook-chill food production workflows.
