sterling pro sp60bc spec sheetProduct Description
The Sterling Pro SP60BC is a single-door blast chiller and freezer designed to rapidly reduce the temperature of freshly cooked food in line with food safety requirements. It operates in both chill and blast freeze modes, making it a versatile piece of kit for kitchens that need to hold large volumes of cooked food safely for later service. With a 13-grid interior, it accepts GN 1/1 and 600x400 trays, fitting neatly into existing tray and rack workflows.
In a busy production kitchen, the SP60BC earns its place during large prep runs. Whether you are batch-cooking proteins, sauces, or baked goods, the ability to pull temperatures down quickly and safely means food can move into cold storage without compromising what is already held there. Recovery between cycles is well suited to continuous prep schedules where the chiller needs to turn around regularly throughout the day.
From an operational standpoint, the practical benefits are straightforward:
- Reduces food waste by extending safe holding life for batch-cooked items
- Supports HACCP compliance by meeting recommended chilling and freezing time requirements
- Dual chill and freeze modes give flexibility across different menu and prep requirements
- Stainless steel interior is straightforward to clean between cycles
- Compatible with standard GN 1/1 and 600x400 tray sizes already in most kitchens
Installation will require appropriate electrical supply, sufficient clearance around the unit for ventilation, and consideration of where it sits within your cold prep workflow. As the largest model in the Sterling Pro blast chiller range, it is worth confirming that your available floor space and power supply are adequate before purchasing. For lower-volume operations, a smaller-capacity model in the range may represent a more proportionate investment.
The SP60BC is well suited to contract caterers, central production units, hotel kitchens, and high-volume restaurant operations where batch cooking and advance prep are central to the daily workflow. Smaller operations running lighter prep volumes may find this capacity more than they need day-to-day.
If you are unsure whether this model is the right fit for your operation or want to talk through your prep volumes and installation requirements, the team is happy to have that conversation before you commit.

sterling pro sp60bc spec sheetFrequently Asked Questions
- The SP60BC is Sterling Pro's largest blast chiller model, with a 60kg chill and 38kg freeze capacity per cycle across 13 grids. It is well matched to hotel kitchens, contract catering operations, and central production units running significant batch volumes. If your prep cycles regularly push beyond this, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-duty unit from a higher-capacity range would suit your throughput better.
- As a commercial blast chiller of this size, the SP60BC will require a suitable electrical supply, adequate ventilation clearance around the cabinet, and enough floor space to accommodate both the unit and safe access for loading and cleaning. We would recommend confirming your electrical infrastructure and available space before ordering, and it is worth involving your refrigeration engineer early in the planning process.
- Yes — the SP60BC operates in both soft chill and blast freeze modes, which gives kitchens flexibility depending on whether food needs to be held short-term in a refrigerator or transferred to frozen storage. This makes it practical for operations that batch-cook a varied menu where not everything follows the same holding and service schedule.
