Carel launches the new controller dedicated to professional blast chillers

Carel has expanded the iJ platform with iJp, the new controller dedicated to professional blast chillers designed for blast chilling and blast freezing.

iJP supports manufacturers in creating units that are more intuitive, connected and recognisable, while also offering a simple and immediate user experience for those working in professional kitchens.

A modular and flexible solution

In the food service sector, the blast chiller is an essential technology for ensuring food safety, product quality and optimisation of kitchen processes. Through controlled time/temperature cycles, it enables food to be cooled rapidly, helping to preserve its organoleptic properties, consistency and stability. In this context,user interaction is frequent: for this reason, interface clarity, simple cycle selection and immediate access to information become decisive factors. For manufacturers, iJp represents a modular and flexible solution: it is available in Small, Large and XL formats and in Panel, Split and Hmiconfigurations, facilitating integration into different machine architectures.

Integration with apps

One of the solution’s distinguishing features is its integration with Controlla, theCarel app that extends the user experience beyond the on-board machine interface. Thanks to Bluetoothconnectivity, users can view the unit’s status, set cycles, configure presets, and view or download HACCP reports directly from a mobile device. In this way, iJp makes operational information more accessible and simplifies tasks that, in more traditional solutions, require separate tools or less immediate procedures.

To support installation and service, configuration via theapp Applica helps speed up parameterisation and maintenance activities, while integration with Red Control enables remote monitoring of the unit, facilitating access to information even from a distance. The result is simpler, more connected and more efficient management of the blast chiller, both for the end user and for service personnel.
