LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
March 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Air Products (NYSE: APD) will showcase its gas and
equipment solutions for improved seafood production at Seafood
Expo North America in Boston,
Mass., from March 17-19. The
company will be highlighting the latest additions to its
Freshline® MP tunnel freezer family, the
Freshline® DM and Freshline® IQF+ freezers,
which are specifically designed to efficiently freeze small IQF
products like shrimp and scallops.
Show attendees are invited to stop by Air Products' booth 1074
to speak with one of the company's knowledgeable food specialists
about their specific seafood processing challenges. The company
offers nitrogen and CO2 freezing and chilling equipment,
including spiral, tunnel and batch freezers, as well as
industry-leading nitrogen immersion technology. Air Products'
offerings also include gas solutions for aquaculture enhancement,
wastewater treatment and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP).
On display at its booth will be Air Products' Freshline MP
tunnel freezer, which offers efficiency, economy and hygiene, along
with an optional remote monitoring system for troubleshooting and
efficiency tracking from afar. Using the extremely cold temperature
of nitrogen or CO2, the MP tunnel freezer can chill or
freeze seafood products 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 a state-of-the-art food lab in Allentown, Pa., where the company can test a
customer's product on production-scale equipment to help determine
the feasibility of using cryogenics in their process, quantify the
cost versus benefits of using cryogenics, and optimize their food
processing operation. The company also provides engineering
services, as well as on-site testing capability and processing
audits to reduce cryogen consumption.
Air Products 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 a niche product and every operation in between.
