O P E R AT I O N OPERATING INTRODUCTION The Alto-Shaam® Quickchiller is a processing refrigeration ™ system designed to rapidly and uniformly decrease the temperature of hot foods to either a chilled or frozen state. This process provides enhanced safety, longer storage life and better production efficiency. Rapid reduction in the temperature of hot foods inhibits the growth of bacteria and provides a safe, five-day chilled food refrigerated storage period from the time of preparation to the tim
