Among the technologies featured will be Air Products’ Freshline® IQ cryogenic tunnel freezer, which offers continuous high throughput freezing or chilling for seafood such as shrimp or scallops. The Freshline® IQ cryogenic tunnel freezer is constructed in 10-foot modular sections making it easily field expandable. It also includes an optional remote monitoring system for equipment trouble shooting, gas safety assurance, and efficiency tracking.
Conference attendees are invited to visit Air Products’ booth 1074 to speak with an industry specialist about their specific processes and challenges. Food processors will discover the many benefits of Air Products’ Freshline® solutions, which use liquid nitrogen (LIN) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to improve a variety of processes, such as food freezing and chilling. 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 product weight losses and helps to ensure moisture and quality are maintained longer.
As a leader in cryogenic technology applications, Air Products operates state-of-the-art food and grinding labs in Allentown, Pa., where the company tests customer products on production-scale equipment to help determine the feasibility of using cryogenics in their process, and can quantify the benefits of using cryogenics in optimizing their food processing operation.
AirProducts has been supplying the food industry with gases, equipment and technology for over 60 years. The company has Freshline® solutions for every type of customer, from large manufacturers with multiple product lines, to small food processors with niche products. Air Products offers industrial gases in a variety of delivery options to match each customer’s requirements.
