Attendees are invited to visit Air Products' booth 2581, to speak with an industry specialist to learn how flash freeze technology with cryogenic gases can address their specific processes and challenges, while increasing product quality and throughput.
Specialty food producers will have the opportunity to learn more about Air Products' Freshline® solutions, which use liquid nitrogen (LIN) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to improve a variety of processes. The extremely cold temperatures of these cryogenic gases enable food products to be chilled or frozen in minutes instead of the hours traditionally required with alternative systems. This rapid freeze results in smaller yield losses and helps ensure moisture and quality are preserved.
Air Products' Freshline® IQ Freezer offers continuous high throughput freezing or chilling for a broad range of food products and requires minimal floorspace. It is designed in 10-foot modular sections making it easily field expandable. Couple this advanced machine with Freshline® Smart Technology, and Air Products' engineers can work with a customer's team to easily troubleshoot from afar, minimizing downtime and the impact to the bottom line.
The Freshline® MP Tunnel Freezer has been designed to provide exceptional performance while incorporating the latest international hygiene standards. The Freshline MP freezer's ability to efficiently extract heat makes for quick freezing in a smaller, modular design.
