LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
March 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Air Products (NYSE: APD) will introduce its new
Freshline® IQ cryogenic tunnel freezer at Seafood Expo
North America in Boston from
March 19-21. The Freshline IQ freezer
offers food processors continuous high throughput for a broad range
of products with easy clean-up and minimal up-front capital
investment.
The Freshline IQ freezer's heat transfer capability enables
vaporized liquid nitrogen to be dispersed optimally throughout the
tunnel, which translates to the shortest freezer required to cool
or freeze product, as well as minimized running costs. Based on
ten-foot modular units that can be quickly and easily integrated
into a customer's existing production line, the Freshline IQ
freezer can be expanded on-site to grow with increasing production
needs. The new freezer has large openings to provide easy access
for simpler cleaning and sloped surfaces to eliminate standing
water. An optional remote monitoring system, enabled by the
Industrial Internet of Things, allows food processors or Air
Products to track real time variables or remotely troubleshoot
issues to ensure optimization of the system.
Seafood processors are invited to stop by Air Products' booth
1074 to speak with one of the company's food specialists about the
best Freshline solution to help optimize their operation using
either nitrogen or carbon dioxide to freeze or chill their
products. As a leader in cryogenic technology applications, Air
Products has the experience and technical know-how to help seafood
processors address some of their toughest challenges. With food
laboratories located in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, Air Products can test a customer's
product on commercial-scale equipment to determine the feasibility
of using cryogenic freezing or chilling for their specific
process.
In addition to freezing and chilling solutions, Air Products
also offers a broad range of solutions to meet a seafood
processor's water treatment needs, including oxygen systems to
improve dissolved oxygen levels in their wastewater treatment
system or aquaculture tanks/ponds, and carbon dioxide for pH
control of their wastewater discharge.
Air Products has Freshline solutions for every type of customer,
from large manufacturers with multiple product lines to small food
processors with a niche product and every operation in between. The
company provides its industrial gases in a variety of delivery
options to match each customer's requirements, from small- to
large-volume users.
