Liquid Nitrogen Systems
Freeze your way to greater flexibility and higher yields
When it comes to choosing a new freezer for your food production facility, food grade liquid nitrogen or CO2 systems have many advantages over mechanical (blast) freezing or chilling processes. The first noticeable difference between air blast freezers (or chilling units) and cryogenic freezers is the size of the machine and the time required to reach your desired end temperature.
Find out what it means for your product with this interactive tool. Input your data to see a customized comparison of liquid nitrogen and mechanical freezing.
Determine how much time and space you could save by using a cryogenic system
Time
Cryogenic freezers operate at much lower temperatures allowing you to freeze more in less time
Space
Cryogenic freezers are generally more compact than mechanical or blast freezers
Are you still wondering if cryogenic freezing is for you?
Thanks to the calculator above you already know that cryogenic systems freeze or chill faster and require less space. Here are a few more reasons why you may prefer liquid nitrogen or CO2 systems to chill or freeze your products.
Quality
A faster freeze means reduced cell wall damage, better preserving your product's taste, texture and moisture levels
Flexibility
Cryogenic systems can be set up with different recipes allowing you to produce various throughputs and products with the same machine
Yield
A faster freeze means less dehydration, which results in an improved yield.
Cost
Cryogenic systems normally require a lower investment cost and can be rented
