LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
Jan. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Air
Products' (NYSE: APD) latest innovation in cryogenic food
processing solutions enables food manufacturers to quickly and
efficiently chill sauces and liquids. The new Freshline®
QuickChill™ Injector has been designed to reduce chilling
times and increase throughput of a variety of liquid products, such
as sauces, soups, dressings, marinades, pie fillings and
purees.
Using the rapid cooling power of liquid nitrogen, the QuickChill
Injector chills sauces and liquid products in minutes instead of
hours, eliminating process bottlenecks and giving food
manufacturers the capability to double or even triple production
rates. This quick chilling also provides food manufacturers with
peace of mind in complying with USDA cooling guidelines that
require cooked liquid products to be chilled to 40°F (4°C) within
five to six hours.
The QuickChill unit comes in a standard model that can easily be
fitted to a variety of new or existing kettles and vessels,
eliminating the need to invest in additional kettles, equipment or
floor space. With optional Air Products Process Intelligence
technology, food manufacturers can monitor, control and track
injector operation through a temperature sensor and IIoT-enabled
communication technology.
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. To learn more about the
