Cryogenic freezer for food processing
Achieve rapid, precise freezing for your diverse food production needs, ensuring quality and efficiency, whether you’re handling delicate seafood or robust bakery items.

Freezes, Chills, and Crusts Diverse Food Products
The CRYOLINE® series from Linde, includes CVT, PB, UPF, UPT, UPS, CF, UPI, and PE 800 models, offering robust cryogenic freezing solutions tailored for diverse food industry needs. These systems operate using advanced cryogenic tunnels and spiral designs to ensure rapid, efficient freezing, chilling, and crusting of products such as diced meats, seafood, and liquid foodstuffs. Each model features unique applications: from the PB plate belt reducing moisture loss with its stainless-steel conveyor, to the UPF flighted freezer maximizing cryogenic exposure for IQF products. Capable of handling high throughput in continuous operations, the CRYOLINE® freezers integrate seamlessly into production lines with PLC controls. Their design conserves cryogen, supported by adjustable fans and vapor locks to enhance energy efficiency. Manufactured with stainless steel, these freezers meet USDA sanitation standards and allow easy cleaning, essential for maintaining production hygiene. Configurations are offered to match specific production capacities and customer requirements, ensuring optimal performance and support for food manufacturers, beverage producers, and processed food sectors.
