Cryogenic food freezer
Achieve rapid and precise freezing for diverse food products, ensuring optimal texture and moisture retention, while maximizing production efficiency and maintaining quality standards across your processing line.
The CRYOLINE® CVT from Linde is a versatile tunnel freezer engineered for food and beverage processors looking to improve chilling and freezing efficiency. It leverages cryogenic technology, injecting liquid nitrogen to provide rapid and thorough heat removal. The freezer is designed for a wide range of applications, from bakery goods to seafood, ensuring excellent quality and consistency in end products such as bread rolls, ice cream bars, or marinated chicken breasts.
Capable of handling continuous, automated high-speed operations, the CRYOLINE® CVT integrates seamlessly into existing production lines. Its automatic temperature control systems and internal fans optimize cryogen use, maintaining energy efficiency while enhancing throughput. Adjustable curtains at the conveyor prevent external air infiltration, contributing to cryogen conservation.
Built from stainless steel to meet USDA sanitation standards, the freezer is easy to clean, reducing downtime. Custom configurations are available to meet specific production needs, supported by Linde’s engineering expertise. Whether you are freezing in bulk or processing individually quick-frozen items, the CRYOLINE® CVT offers precise temperature control and robust performance for demanding industrial environments.
