Cryogenic tunnel freezer
Achieve efficient and rapid freezing with state-of-the-art cryogenic technology, ideal for maintaining product quality and optimizing production line performance for frozen food items.
The CRYOLINE® series from Linde offers a comprehensive range of cryogenic freezer systems tailored for the food processing industry. These systems excel in rapid chilling and freezing, utilizing liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide to accelerate the freezing process while preserving the quality and texture of various products like poultry, produce, and sauces. The modular design allows for easy integration into existing production lines, supporting continuous and high-speed operations. Each freezer, including the CRYOLINE® CVT and CRYOLINE® PB, is designed to optimize cryogen usage, reduce energy consumption, and maximize yield by minimizing moisture loss. The equipment is constructed with durable stainless steel for high corrosion resistance, meeting USDA sanitation standards, and equipped with automatic temperature control systems to handle varying product loads efficiently. With options like flighted and spiral configurations, the CRYOLINE® series can be customized to meet specific production needs, offering flexibility and engineering support for unique operational challenges.
