Cryogenic chilling for food processing
In food processing, controlling temperature precisely during mixing or blending is vital to ensuring product quality and safety. High heat during these processes can lead to bacterial growth and inconsistent product quality, presenting significant challenges for manufacturers.
Achieve precise temperature control with cryogen injection
The ACCU-CHILL® cryogen injection systems by Linde offer advanced solutions for maintaining the required temperature during food mixing and blending processes. These systems use either liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide to rapidly achieve and maintain the desired temperature. The ACCU-CHILL® CBC continuous blender cooling system injects cryogens to keep the mixture at uniform temperatures, reducing the risk of bacterial growth and spoilage. The ACCU-CHILL® LXC system, equipped with a patent-pending valve-nozzle assembly, ensures precise temperature control and easy sanitation by minimizing food particle residue. Another variant, the ACCU-CHILL® combo chiller, distributes CO2 snow evenly in bulk bins, preventing over-cooling and hot spots. These systems are particularly beneficial for the production of meat, poultry, seafood, sauces, and bakery items.
