Cryogenic freezer for food industry applications
Efficiently tackle high-speed freezing and chilling challenges with a versatile cryogenic system designed to enhance product quality and streamline your continuous processing operations.
Freezes and Chills Food Products Efficiently
The Cryoline® CVT from Linde is a sophisticated cryogenic tunnel freezer engineered to meet the demanding requirements of food and beverage manufacturers. This system stands out by employing a direct cryogen injection mechanism for optimal heat transfer, ensuring rapid and thorough freezing or chilling of diverse products from baked goods to processed meats. The Cryoline® CVT operates in a continuous, high-speed mode with a conveyor belt that adjusts for varying product loads, making it a reliable choice for maintaining product quality and consistency.
Capable of freezing products like pizza dough and seafood fillets, it supports high throughput, maximizing efficiency with minimal floor space. The equipment integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, facilitated by automated temperature controls and a robust internal fan system that evenly distributes cold air.
Designed with energy efficiency in mind, this system conserves cryogen through precise control mechanisms and innovative vapor management. Made from stainless steel, it meets USDA sanitation standards, ensuring easy cleaning and maintenance. Linde offers engineering support for customization according to specific production requirements, helping clients optimize configuration for their unique processing needs.
