B195-CLS

Overview

Everything in that water ends up inside the oven. Hardness minerals deposit as scale on water-side surfaces, while chlorine and chloramines from municipal treatment carry a chemical taste into steamed food and can react with metal, plastic and rubber materials inside the equipment — a reaction that may potentially cause equipment damage. The B195-CLS tackles both problems with premium carbon block technology at 1.0 micron filtration, a 0.5 gpm flow rate and a rated capacity of 1,249 gallons at 11 grains per gallon (gpg) — a capacity built to handle the demands of a busy restaurant environment.

The "Blend" in ScaleGard Blend points to the cartridge's adjustable blend feature: paired with the easy-to-operate adjustable dial on 3M ScaleGard Blend Series heads, it allows precision blending and customized water quality, so the same cartridge platform can be tuned to very different incoming water supplies. That flexibility is what makes it a versatile and reliable choice for any commercial kitchen rather than a part that suits only one water condition.

Key Features

• Premium carbon block technology — 1.0 micron filtration providing consistent chlorine and chloramine reduction.
• Scale reduction — ScaleGard Blend treatment cuts scale build-up in the oven's water system.
• Chloramine reduction — chloramines can react with metal, plastic and rubber materials, and that reaction may potentially cause equipment damage; reducing them protects those components.
• 1,249-gallon rated capacity at 11 gpg — sized for the demands of a busy restaurant environment.
• 0.5 gpm flow rate — the rated delivery for this cartridge.
• Adjustable blend compatibility — works with the easy-to-operate adjustable dial on 3M ScaleGard Blend Series heads for precision blending and customized water quality.
• NSF certified for Atosa AEC-0621E and AEC-1011E combi ovens, with NSF and WQA listed as external testing certifications.
• Thermoplastic polyurethane construction — 4.46" x 4.46" x 20.72" cartridge body.

Applications

The B195-CLS is the consumable part for any operation running an Atosa AEC-0621E or AEC-1011E combi oven: restaurants, hotel kitchens, bakeries, institutional cafeterias, catering operations and any other site where the oven's steam and combi modes are in daily service. Wherever those ovens are installed, this cartridge is the matching filtration replacement specified for them.

In steam and combi modes, water quality shows up on the plate. Because the B195-CLS reduces chlorine taste and odor before water enters the oven, steamed vegetables, rice, grains, custards and poached proteins cook in water without chemical flavors. Scale reduction keeps the oven's water system from accumulating the deposits that throttle performance over time, protecting the equipment investment the way Atosa intends when it lists this filter as essential for the AEC-0621E and AEC-1011E.

For sites with variable or hard water, the adjustable blend feature lets operators customize water quality to local conditions instead of living with a fixed treatment level. And because the cartridge is a consumable, many kitchens keep a spare on hand so a spent filter never interrupts service. Related parts in the same ScaleGard Blend family include the B165-CLS cartridge and the SGB165-CLS system — separate models with their own ratings — so always match the cartridge number to the head installed on your oven.
