LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
Sept. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Air Products' (NYSE: APD) proprietary Freshline®
LIN-IS system, which uses liquid nitrogen to deliver rapid, precise
temperature control to a blender or mixer/grinder, enables food
manufacturers to optimize processing speed and product quality. The
tailor-made temperature control system is ideal for chilling ground
meat prior to forming hamburger patties, marinated chicken prior to
forming nuggets, and many other products that require heat removal
during the mixing, blending or grinding process.
The Freshline LIN-IS system injects ultra-cold liquid nitrogen
during grinding, blending or forming, removing the amount of heat
required to bring a food product within a half degree of the
desired temperature. The system can remove heat generated by
friction and mechanical energy in mixing equipment, as well as
provide additional cooling required to reduce the temperature of
products prior to forming or other further processing steps.
Available in either a bottom or top injection unit, the LIN-IS
system can be retrofitted to new or existing mixers, blenders or
any type of stainless steel vessel. The nozzle size, arrangement
and configuration are custom-engineered to meet each food
manufacturer's specific processing equipment and temperature
requirement. The system is easy to operate, clean and maintain, and
complies with the latest hygienic design standards.
Air Products has more than 15 years of experience retrofitting
its Freshline LIN-IS system on various types of mixers and grinders
at customers' sites. The company can also work directly with
blender, mixer and grinder OEMs to install the system on new
equipment prior to delivery, saving customers time and money.

LIN-IS temperature control system for food mixing, forming and
