What freezing in a liquid nitrogen bath is all about?

Immersion bath freezers consist of a liquid nitrogen (LIN) bath, in which you can rapidly freeze products to very low temperatures by direct immersion in the cryogenic liquid at atmospheric pressure. Depending on the residence time in the cryogenic liquid, the...

What kind of food products can we cryogenically chill and mix?

Rotary drum freezers are best used for IQF freezing of free rolling, mostly small products. They are perfect for products consisting of separate pieces. Applications in the food industry are abundant: rotary drums freeze individual pieces (granules, crumps, cubes.. )...

What is cryogenic cooling and mixing?

It involves the simultaneous mixing of a refrigerant such as liquid nitrogen (LIN) or liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2) and the product in a specially prepared unit. Product and cooling medium are loaded continuously at the highest entrance point of the drum. By the...

What is cryogenic crust freezing?

For some subsequent processes like slicing or decorating, it is necessary to harden the surface by crust-freezing. Using low temperatures as low as -195,8°C, the process is very fast.
