Freezer provides portion control of frozen ingredients.May 19, 2009 -
Designed to produce formed-shapes of sauces, purees, soups, and other liquid food products, CRYOLINEŽ PE Freezer works by filling cavities in conveyor pre-cooled by liquid nitrogen. Extremely low temperature of conveyor belt rapidly freezes liquid into shape of cavity, stabilizing product before it is released. Suited for food processors, freezer eliminates need for extra bags in ready-to-eat meals, and allows exact measuring of sauce in food products, minimizing waste.

Linde North America Introduces CRYOLINEŽ PE Freezer For Portion-Control
Shapes Of Liquid Or Sauce Foods
New freezer makes IQF formed-shapes of sauces, purees, soups, juices
Murray Hill, New Jersey, U.S., May 18, 2009 -- In the highly competitive food industry, processors are constantly looking for technology that will give them that edge to differentiate themselves from the competition. Linde North America, a member of The Linde Group, the leading global gases and engineering company, is introducing cryogenic freezing technology to the North American market that will help them do just that.
The European-designed CRYOLINEŽ PE freezer, now available to food processors in North America, produces frozen consistent, formed-shapes of sauces, purees, soups, and a variety of other liquid food products. Processors interested in portion control of frozen ingredients, developing uniquely shaped product shapes, or desire branded products, can take advantage of this technology. The CRYOLINEŽ PE freezer is perfectly suited for processors serving the food service, ready-to eat meals, and consumer markets.
"This is the only cryogenic freezing technology available that can make frozen pellets, discs, cubes, squares or a combination of shapes for a variety of liquid food products," said Mark DiMaggio, head of food and beverage markets, Linde North America. "The freezer has met with great success in Europe and has also been successfully tested and adopted by processors in the U.S. It has proven to give food processors a competitive advantage because it produces IQF formed product pellets of uniform size with repeatability, allowing their customers to easily portion and defrost as much or as little of the product as required," DiMaggio said.
The patented CRYOLINEŽ PE freezer works by simply filling the cavities in a proprietary conveyer pre-cooled by liquid nitrogen. The extremely low temperature of the conveyerbelt rapidly freezes the liquid into the shape of the cavity, thereby stabilizing the product before it is released at the end of the belt.
"Processors we've worked with have found that there are several advantages to the CRYOLINEŽ PE freezer," said DiMaggio. "It enhanced their customers' ability to precisely control portions, eliminates the need for extra bags in ready-to-eat meals, and allows exact measuring of sauce to food productspasta minimizing waste ratios." The CRYOLINEŽ PE freezer is currently operational for product testing and customer demonstrations in Linde's food lab, located in Cleveland, Ohio.
