Delfield C Pro 5 Countertop Blast Chiller

The Delfield C Pro 5 is a countertop-format blast chiller designed for professional kitchens where space is at a premium but food safety and production efficiency cannot be compromised. Built in stainless steel, it handles rapid chilling and blast freezing alongside proving, thawing, holding, and low-temperature cooking — consolidating several functions that would otherwise require separate equipment.

In a busy service environment, the ability to move cooked food quickly through the temperature danger zone is not just a matter of compliance; it directly affects quality and shelf life. The C Pro 5 is built to support HACCP-compliant chilling cycles, which matters in any kitchen operating under environmental health scrutiny. Its multi-function capability means it can also support prep-ahead workflows — proving dough overnight, thawing proteins in a controlled environment, or holding finished dishes at safe temperatures ahead of service.

From an operational standpoint, kitchens that run the C Pro 5 typically find it useful for:

• Reducing food waste through extended, safe shelf life of batch-cooked items
• Streamlining production by enabling cook-chill workflows without separate holding equipment
• Maintaining consistent food quality across services rather than cooking to order under pressure
• Supporting HACCP documentation requirements with repeatable, logged cycles
• Reducing peak-time labour by shifting preparation to quieter periods

At 790mm wide, it is designed to sit on a countertop or suitable preparation surface rather than occupying floor space, which suits smaller kitchens and compact brigades. At 110kg, it will need a robust, level surface and adequate clearance for air circulation — worth confirming before installation. Power requirements should be verified against your existing supply before ordering.

The C Pro 5 is well suited to independent restaurants, hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and care homes where batch cooking and cook-chill production are central to the workflow. It is a practical entry point into blast chilling for kitchens running moderate volumes. For higher-output sites processing larger batch quantities, a floor-standing or higher-capacity model may be a better fit.

If you are unsure whether the C Pro 5 is the right capacity for your operation, or whether your kitchen setup is suitable, our team is happy to talk it through with you.
