Linde highlights continuous cryogenic injection meat mixer cooling at IPPE

Linde will feature new equipment advances in its cryogenic chilling portfolio during the International Production and Processing Expo in Atlanta.

“These new applications for precise temperature control, a Linde competency, keep blended products cool,” said Chris Johnson, Linde director business development. “The ACCU-CHILL components create a cryogen injection system that keeps processed proteins at a specific temperature to slow bacterial growth and aid in blending of ingredients. The ACCU-CHILL ... CBC continuous blender chilling with cryogen injection is a proprietary, bottom injection system that uses liquid nitrogen or liquid carbon dioxide.” 

Linde continuously improves its existing systems to make its customers’ processes more efficient. Additionally, the Accu-Chill system provides improved performance compared to older technologies. For mixing and blending, this allows the processor to inject just the right amount of cryogen to keep the mixture at a uniform temperature. The addition of the Accu-Chill LXC injection valve helps deliver cryogen deep into the product, resulting in a larger amount of cryogen transfer to the mixture. This injector action yields up to a 33% improvement in cooling efficiency and a boost to capacity. 

Both elements will be on display at Linde's booth, C37186. More information and a process animation are available online.
