Cryogenic chilling for meat mixing and blending
Ensure precise temperature control during mixing and blending to prevent bacterial growth and maintain product integrity, essential for preserving taste, texture, and safety in your food processing line.
Rapidly Chills and Cools Food Products
The ACCU-CHILL® systems from Linde are engineered cryogenic solutions that rapidly chill and cool a variety of food products, including meats, poultry, seafood, and bakery items. Utilizing precise cryogen injection, the system efficiently manages heat removal during both continuous and batch processing, significantly enhancing product quality and minimizing bacterial growth.
Designed to integrate seamlessly into your operation, the ACCU-CHILL® uses either liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide to maintain consistent temperatures across different production stages, such as blending, mixing, and packaging. This system is ideal for industries ranging from meat processing to dairy and prepared foods, ensuring consistent product texture and taste.
Automation features include a PLC-controlled interface for precise temperature management, and the compact design requires minimal production space. Linde’s proprietary technology optimizes cryogen use, reducing overall energy costs while ensuring uniform cooling, even in high-throughput scenarios. Available in various material configurations, the systems are crafted for robustness and easy maintenance, featuring components that allow for quick adjustments and sanitary compliance.
