BLAST Ethanol Chiller Comparison

Compare BLAST 60/45, 150/45, and 240/45 ethanol chillers.

Pick the production class that matches your ethanol volume, centrifuge workflow, facility utilities, and throughput target.

BLAST 60/45

60 gallons to -40C in 45 minutes

BLAST 150/45

150 gallons to -40C in 45 minutes

BLAST 240/45

240 gallons to -40C in 45 minutes

Quick Recommendation

Use the chiller size that matches the bottleneck you are solving.

Choose 60/45 for compact speed

Best when the workflow centers on a 30-gallon centrifuge class and the facility wants a serviceable, lower-temperature cascade design.

Choose 150/45 for the middle lane

Best when production has moved past pilot scale and needs more chilling capacity without stepping into the largest process class.

Choose 240/45 for volume

Best when the operation needs the largest BLAST ethanol capacity, faster schedule support, and room for higher production volume.

Model Details

Compare each BLAST chiller in context.

BLAST 60/45

  • 60 gallons capacity
  • 60 gallons / 45 minutes
  • PLC/HMI visibility
  • Two outdoor condenser units

Labs that want a compact, serviceable ethanol chiller with strong low-temperature performance and a clean path away from LN2 or dry ice.

BLAST 150/45

  • 150 gallons capacity
  • 3.33 GPM
  • PLC/HMI visibility
  • HVAC condenser integration

Teams that have outgrown compact chilling capacity and need a stronger production-class target without jumping to the largest unit.

View BLAST 150/45

BLAST 240/45

  • 240 gallons capacity
  • 6.0 GPM
  • PLC/HMI visibility
  • HVAC condenser integration

Facilities planning around higher ethanol volume, larger production schedules, and a stronger path away from consumable-heavy cooling.
