Air Products Freshline LIN-IS temperature control system

Air Products’ Freshline LIN-IS system, which uses liquid nitrogen to deliver rapid, precise temperature control to a blender or mixer/grinder, enables food manufacturers to optimise processing speed and product quality. The tailor-made temperature control system is suitable for chilling ground meat prior to forming hamburger patties, marinated chicken prior to forming nuggets and many other products that require heat removal during the mixing, blending or grinding process.

The system injects ultracold liquid nitrogen during grinding, blending or forming, removing the amount of heat required to bring a food product within a half degree of the desired temperature. The system can remove heat generated by friction and mechanical energy in mixing equipment, as well as provide additional cooling required to reduce the temperature of products prior to forming or other further processing steps.

Available in either a bottom or top injection unit, the LIN-IS system can be retrofitted to new or existing mixers, blenders or any type of stainless steel vessel. The nozzle size, arrangement and configuration are custom-engineered to meet each food manufacturer’s processing equipment and temperature requirement. The system is easy to operate, clean and maintain, and complies with the latest hygienic design standards.
