LEHIGH
VALLEY, Pa., Jan. 23,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Products (NYSE:APD) will
highlight its latest innovations in freezing at the International
Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) at the Georgia World
Congress Center in Atlanta,
Georgia from January
24-26.
Among the technologies featured will be Air Products'
Freshline® IQF+ Tunnel Freezer, which provides a highly
efficient design that allows processors to produce consistent,
high-quality Individually Quick Freeze (IQF) products in larger
throughputs than standard spray freezing cryogenic IQF freezers.
Air Products will also highlight the Freshline® Bottom
Injection Cooling System that hygienically injects liquid
nitrogen or carbon dioxide (CO2) into a product during
the mixing, blending or grinding process. Combined with Air
Products' proprietary clean-in-place (CIP) and analytics platforms,
producers will be well-equipped to maximize production safety and
efficiency for the long term.
IPPE attendees are invited to stop by Air Products' booth
#BC9509 to speak with knowledgeable food specialists about the
specific challenges in their day-to-day operations. Air Products
provides a range of cryogenic freezing and chilling
solutions using nitrogen or CO2 that can offer meat
and poultry processors numerous benefits over alternative systems,
including faster freeze times, increased throughput, and improved
product quality.
For more than a half-century, Air Products' liquid nitrogen and
CO2 have been used to chill products to the ideal
forming temperature. In the food industry, liquid nitrogen and
CO2 are commonly used to power tunnel and spiral
freezers for the final preservation of food before it is packaged
and shipped. These freezers offer customers smaller footprints and
significantly lower cost compared to mechanical systems. Air
Products also offers gaseous solutions including controlled
atmosphere stunning, wastewater treatment, modified atmosphere
packaging (MAP), and inerting.
A leader in cryogenic technology applications, Air Products
operates food laboratories in the United
States, Europe and
Asia, where the company can test a
customer's product on commercial-scale equipment to determine the
feasibility of using cryogenic freezing or chilling for their
specific process, and also quantify the cost benefits of using
cryogenics. The company also provides engineering services, as well
as on-site testing capability and processing audits to reduce
cryogen consumption.

company's complete portfolio of Freshline solutions for meat and
poultry production, visit Air Products' Cold Zone website.
