Business Wire
Airgas, Inc. (NYSE: ARG), one of the nation’s leading suppliers
of industrial, medical, and specialty gases, today announced that
its Food and Beverage group will attend and exhibit at the
International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) 2016 (Booth
#B5759). As the largest annual trade show for the poultry, meat,
and feed industries, IPPE will include more than 1,250 exhibitors
and host 30,000 attendees from January 26-28 at Georgia World
Congress Center in Atlanta, GA.
“IPPE is an excellent venue for Airgas to showcase the products,
services, and expertise we provide that help customers in the food
processing and production industry succeed,” said Bill Baker,
Airgas Vice President – Food, Beverage and Retail Markets.
Airgas will showcase its comprehensive offering of customized
chilling systems aimed at optimizing cost and safety for customers,
including the Airgas ChillRight™ Combo Chiller. The ChillRight
Combo Chiller uses liquid CO2 to produce dry ice “snow” that chills
a product in standard combo bins. The Combo Chiller reduces
dehydration, maintains product quality, and creates less waste,
while also eliminating the need for dry ice pellet storage and
inaccurate manual feeding.
“Customers using the ChillRight have reported a more even
distribution of CO2 in their freezing processes, resulting in
optimized efficiency in their operations,” said Baker. “We look
forward to sharing this technology with IPPE attendees.”
Airgas experts will be on-hand to demonstrate and discuss
additional products and solutions for food processing, production,
and preservation, as well as the Company’s comprehensive offering
of gases, including nitrogen, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and
refrigerants, and its full range of personal protective equipment,
including air monitors and fall protection.
Additional information on Airgas’ full offering is available at
the Airgas exhibit (Booth #B5759) during IPPE. Registered
IPPE attendees who visit the Airgas exhibit at any point during the
week will be entered to win a Carhartt® jacket.
