It operates on both hard and soft chill programmes, which allows operators to choose a gentler cooling cycle for more delicate preparations or a faster cycle when throughput is the priority. For kitchens producing consistent batch quantities — sauces, proteins, portioned mains — the unit provides a reliable and repeatable chilling process rather than relying on ambient cooling, which carries food safety risk and reduces product quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePractically, the XR10 is straightforward to work with day to day:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft and hard chill programmes give flexibility across different food types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHydrocarbon refrigerant supports energy-efficient operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e75mm shelf spacing accommodates standard GN containers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean-line interior with no exposed screws or dirt traps simplifies end-of-day cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMicroprocessor controls provide consistent, auditable chilling cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requirements are worth discussing with your supplier before purchase.

The microprocessor controls allow operators to select between hard and soft chill programmes depending on the product being cooled — soft chill for delicate items such as mousses or custards, hard chill for dense proteins and bulk preparations.
