Cryogenic chilling system for meat processing
Ensure uniform temperature control in meat production lines to maintain product quality and safety while preventing spoilage and enhancing flavor consistency.

Chills and Freezes Food with Precise Temperature Control
The ACCU-CHILL® series from Linde offers cutting-edge cryogenic chilling and freezing systems designed for precise temperature management across food processing operations. These systems integrate cryogen injection technology to rapidly reduce temperature, ensuring optimal product texture and safety. The ACCU-CHILL® line is versatile, catering to a wide array of applications such as meat, poultry, seafood, bakery, and dairy production, handling both batch and continuous operations with ease. Utilizing liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide, these systems minimize bacterial growth and maintain consistent temperatures essential for high-quality end products like hamburger patties, chicken nuggets, and vanilla ice cream.
Equipped with PLC controls for automation, ACCU-CHILL® systems are adaptable to various production lines, offering seamless integration with existing processes. The design emphasizes energy efficiency and precise control, employing self-closing valve-nozzle assemblies to reduce contamination risks. Constructed to withstand the demands of industrial food processing, these systems are available with customization options to suit specific production requirements. Maintenance is efficient through easy cleaning features that support hygiene standards critical in food manufacturing environments. Whether optimizing dough temperature in bakery operations or cooling liquid foods like sauces and gravies, ACCU-CHILL® delivers exceptional performance while maximizing productivity and reducing operational costs.
