FAGOR Hot Gas Defrost Freezer GN 2/1 610 Litre

A commercial freezer built for high-volume kitchens, holding bulk frozen goods at a steady -18 to -22 °C while clearing frost without manual intervention. Hot gas defrosts the evaporator coil by circulating warm refrigerant through it, melting ice without raising the cabinet temperature. This keeps the freezer running continuously, eliminating downtime for defrost cycles and maintaining consistent storage conditions for large batches of prepped ingredients or finished dishes.

The unit cools by forced-air circulation, pushing cold air evenly across every shelf. Three removable epoxy-coated GN 2/1 trays slide on adjustable rails, offering 24 positions spaced 55 mm apart. Each tray supports up to 40 kg, and the cabinet accepts one GN 2/1 or two GN 1/1 trays per level. An electronic control panel with a digital display sets the target temperature, while an integrated HACCP logger records temperature fluctuations and power interruptions, storing up to ten alarm events for compliance checks.

Construction is fully stainless steel inside and out, with rounded internal corners to reduce dirt traps. An 80 mm polyurethane insulation layer minimises cold loss, and an integrated drainage system channels defrost water out of the cabinet. Doors close automatically on an ergonomic handle, and adjustable stainless-steel legs level the unit on uneven floors.

Power consumption is rated at 0.535 kW, drawing from a 220-240 V single-phase supply. The refrigerant is R290, supplied in a 60 Hz version. The freezer weighs 152 kg and occupies a footprint of 693 mm wide, 856 mm deep and 2106 mm high. Shelves, rails and drainage are designed for daily cleaning with standard kitchen sanitising agents.

The model is classified D for energy efficiency and Climate Class 5, indicating suitability for ambient temperatures up to 40 °C. Remote monitoring is available through Fagor Konnect for centralised kitchen management.
