LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
March 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/
-- Air Products (NYSE:APD) will be exhibiting at the Natural
Products Expo West in Anaheim,
California from March 10-12
where the company will highlight the productivity and quality
benefits of using industrial gases in a variety of natural food
products, including plant-based food processing applications.
Among the technologies featured will be Air Products'
Freshline® IQ cryogenic tunnel freezer, which offers
continuous high throughput freezing or chilling for a broad range
of natural, organic or plant-based foods. The Freshline®
IQ cryogenic tunnel freezer is constructed in ten-foot modular
sections making it easily field expandable. It also includes an
optional remote monitoring system for equipment trouble shooting,
gas safety assurance, and efficiency tracking.
Conference attendees are invited to stop by Air Products' booth
3192 in Hall C in the Anaheim
Convention Center to speak with an industry specialist about their
specific processes and challenges.
Food processors will discover the many benefits of Air Products'
Freshline® solutions, which use liquid nitrogen
(LIN) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to improve a
variety of processes, such as food freezing and chilling. The
extremely cold temperatures of these cryogenic gases enable food
products to be chilled or frozen in minutes instead of the hours
traditionally required with alternative systems. This rapid freeze
results in smaller product weight losses and helps to ensure
moisture and quality are maintained longer.
Cryogenic gases are also beneficial in grinding nutraceuticals,
industrial hemp*, spices and other ingredients. During grinding
operations, LIN or CO2 can be used to eliminate
frictional heat to improve mill throughput and grind consistency.
This also helps prevent the loss of flavor and aroma.
As a leader in cryogenic technology applications, Air Products
operates state-of-the-art food and grinding labs in Allentown, Pa., where the company can test a
customer's product on production-scale equipment to help determine
the feasibility of using cryogenics in their process, quantify the
cost versus benefits of using cryogenics, and optimize their food
processing operation.
Air Products has been supplying the food industry with gases,
equipment and technology for over 60 years. The company has
Freshline® solutions for every type of customer,
from large manufacturers with multiple product lines, to small food
processors with a niche product. Air Products offers industrial
gases in a variety of delivery options to match each customer's
requirements.
