1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
Vcolor 869/879 controllers manage all the most up-to-date functions of state-of-the-art blast chillers. Besides the
conventional blast chilling and freezing cycles, both temperature and time controlled with the hard/soft function, the
controllers can manage up to 12 special cycles and 4 types of combined cycles, as well as the needle probe insertion
test (including multipoint needle probes). An expansion module makes it possible to transform the blast chiller into a
multi-functional device for managing retarding-proofing and slow cooking cycles. For greater efficiency, an EVCO inverter
can also be added to modulate fan speed.
Featuring intuitive navigation with graphs that monitor the cycles in progress, the innovative programmable platform
allows manufacturers to personalise the graphic skin, set up the recipe book with high-quality photos and add new
languages. All they have to do is compile an ODS file and upload it to the oven's controller using a flash drive, thanks to
the USB port on the user interface. Users, on the other hand, can save up to 40 recipes from the controller and export
them using a USB flash drive.
The controller consists of an open frame board and a remote user interface with a 5-inch (M) or 7-inch (L) capacitive
TFT touch-screen graphic display in glass, in either the vertical (869) or horizontal (879) format. The user interface can
be semi-recessed into the front or installed flush with the panel, fitting in perfectly with the design of the unit.
Users can interact remotely with their equipment, including starting/stopping working cycles, using the EPoCA® cloud
platform with Wi-Fi or Ethernet connectivity (which also enables alternative or parallel control through MODBUS TCP).
