LEHIGH
VALLEY, Pa., Jan. 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Products (NYSE:APD) will
highlight its latest innovations in cryogenic freezing at the
International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) at the
Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta,
Georgia from January 30-February
1.
Among the technologies featured will be Air Products'
Freshline® Smart Technology, which allows customers to
control and monitor food manufacturing processes remotely. Air
Products' Freshline® Smart Technology uses sensors
and wireless technology to optimize processes and track key
parameters. Self-monitoring analysis allows customers to see data
in real-time, which can help maximize efficiency, productivity, and
sustainability.
In addition, Air Products will showcase its
Freshline® IQF+ Tunnel Freezer, which provides a highly
efficient design that allows processors to produce consistent,
high-quality Individually Quick Frozen (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 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
#C15151 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 employed in 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, 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.
