FAGOR Hot Gas Defrost Freezer GN 2/1 1186 Litre CUN-23G

A commercial freezer built for high-volume kitchens cools by circulating refrigerant through an evaporator coil inside the cabinet. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air, lowering the temperature to the set range. A fan forces the cold air evenly across every shelf, preventing warm spots and keeping stored food at a consistent temperature. Hot gas defrost reverses the cycle: warm refrigerant gas is pumped back through the coil, melting any ice build-up without raising the cabinet temperature above freezing, so the unit returns to cooling duty faster than a conventional defrost system.

The operator loads GN 2/1 trays onto the epoxy-coated shelves, closes the three stainless-steel doors and sets the target temperature on the electronic control panel. An LED display shows the current reading, and internal lighting illuminates the contents. When defrost is needed, the system starts automatically; no manual intervention is required. Shelves can be repositioned in 55 mm increments to fit taller items, and each shelf supports up to 40 kg.

The cabinet is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel inside and out, with 60 mm high-density polyurethane insulation between the walls. Rounded internal corners and an integrated drainage channel simplify cleaning. Three doors with magnetic seals and ergonomic handles reduce cold-air loss during frequent opening. Adjustable stainless-steel legs allow levelling on uneven floors.

The control panel offers a digital temperature read-out and a single set-point adjustment. The unit operates on a 220-240 V single-phase 50 Hz supply, drawing 0.907 kW cooling power. A 60 Hz version is available as a separate article.

A 1186 litre volume provides space for bulk storage, while the 1318 mm width fits standard worktop depths. The 300 kg weight requires a solid floor and a trolley for repositioning. The temperature range of -22 °C to -18 °C is suited to frozen food storage in professional kitchens. Six removable GN 2/1 epoxy-coated shelves allow flexible organisation of trays and containers.

Cleaning involves wiping the stainless-steel interior and exterior with a damp cloth, removing shelves to wash them separately, and clearing the drainage channel of any debris. The hot gas defrost system reduces manual defrosting tasks.

The freezer is available in a 60 Hz variant under a different article number.
