Conserving Cryogen is key to customer savings with new Praxair Tunnel Freezer System

Praxair Inc. announced the introduction of its newest tunnel freezing system, the Praxair ColdFront Cryo-Saver Tunnel Freezer. The freezer was introduced to the food industry at the 2014 International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE), held in Atlanta from January 28-30. The new Tunnel Freezer System employs advanced technologies developed by Praxair that expand the ability of processors to freeze more economically in the same footprint of a traditional cryogenic tunnel system.

Praxair has more than 40 years of experience providing customers with assistance controlling costs, increasing productivity and making freezer equipment easier to clean. The Cryo-Saver Tunnel Freezer’s entrance and exit are uniquely positioned to decrease the infiltration of room air into the freezer, which can result in up to 15% savings in customer operating costs depending upon the production parameters. The freezer enclosure is also designed to meet new USDA sanitation standards and make clean-up quick and thorough, allowing the production facility to more easily maintain in-house sanitary equipment standards.

Praxair has offered advanced cryogenic gases and freezing systems for the food industry for more than 40 years. For more information, go to www.praxairfood.com.
