Do you produce layered foods such as lasagna or desserts? Is your product heat sensitive? Do you have to wait between layers? Has your blast freezer reached its full capacity and does it limit your throughput? Are you currently looking to speed up your cutting or slicing process while avoiding product damage or tears? Or do you simply want to make thinner slices? Then ultra-fast crust freezing may be the solution for you.
By cryogenically hardening or crust freezing your food product, you temporarily freeze a thin layer of its outer surface. This momentarily cooled and hardened surface allows you to successfully continue your production, whether it is passing the product through your high speed cutting or slicing equipment, vacuum packaging it with minimal deformation, adding another layer or topping or simply transferring it to a mechanical freezer to continue the freezing process.
Whether you need a batch or continuous process, our experts will be happy to help you determine which compact freezer will be most suitable for your specific needs.
Yield Optimization and Waste Reduction
If you plan to slice or cut your product, the protection from damage ensures minimal losses and a higher quality product
Increased Processing Speed
You can now withstand higher cutting speeds, hot or melt able toppings, or boost your mechanical freezer capacity
Bottleneck Alleviation
For those of you handling warm product, no need to wait until your product has cooled down in a cold storage
Thin Slices
The hardened product surface enables you to produce thinner slices
Food Safety and Quality
This process preserves the product’s quality. When directly thawed after hardening, the product is classified as fresh
We care deeply about safety and quality. Our gases and equipment comply with all relevant food legislation.
We don’t just supply gases and equipment, we want to help you succeed every step of the way. This is why we also are world leaders in food industry innovation, run trials for you on-site or in one of our laboratories, offer consultancy including process evaluation and optimization, analytical services and training support.
BIG gases, typically provided in gaseous and liquid form, enable customers in a wide range of industries to improve their environmental performance, product quality, and productivity.
Argon
Compressed argon gas and liquid argon in a variety of purities and in various modes of supply around the world thanks to our network of storage and transfill facilities.
Bulk Supply
Delivered by truck and stored on your site either as a liquid in cryogenic tanks or as a gas in high-pressure tubes based on your volume, desired pressure, purity level, flow rate, and operating pattern.
Nitrogen
Useful as a gas, for its inert properties, and as a liquid for cooling and freezing. Virtually any industry can benefit from its unique properties to improve yields, optimize performance and make operations safer.
