Cold chain & Transport cooling
Cryogenic gases help during the transport of food products to keep the cold chain
Cooling and Freezing
Most food products are cooled or frozen during and after processing, whereas the use of cyogenic gases is a good solution due to their high cooling capacity.
Foaming products with gases
Propellant gases are used for foaming of dairy products.
Freeze drying with liquid nitrogen
Cryogenic gases for the gentle drying of frozen substances under vacuum
Mixer cooling
Temperature increases during mixing has to be compensated by appropriate cooling which is often done with cryogenic gases.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging
Longer shelf life and an attractive product appearance through modified atmosphere packaging with gases
Pelletizing
Production of product pellets using liquid nitrogen
Spray crystallization
Carbon dioxide as well as nitrogen are used for spray drying processes.
