Messer UK Ltd supply a vast product and services portfolio providing a wide
range of industrial gases, dry ice, equipment and applications with
technical expertise to provide innovative solutions for food processing,
chilling and freezing. Messer also provides numerous transportation
solutions for the food industry whether the requirements are for ambient,
chilled or frozen or a mixture of all in one delivery vehicle. Continuously
developing applications to serve the food industry Messer has developed a
range of freezing technologies named Cryogen® Rapid that match a
variety of operating requirements in order to fully exploit the strengths of
cryogenic gases. Whereas mechanical freezers are generally only designed for
a specific cooling capacity, Cryogen®-Rapid cooling systems
operated with either liquid nitrogen or liquid carbon dioxide have a very
broad capacity range. They also have a comparatively low purchase price, are
very flexible, can easily be expanded and furthermore are much smaller than
a comparable mechanical system. Civil constructions (e.g. a machine room
with the appropriate high electrical capacity) are not required. Cryogen®
Rapid plants are not fixed installations and are easy to transport. The
necessary refrigerant storage tanks stand outside. In Cryogen® Rapid the goods to be frozen come into direct
contact with the refrigerant. Very low levels of moisture are required to
saturate the atmosphere with water vapour as a result of the low
temperatures prevailing in the freezer. Drip losses that can amount to as
much as 5% for conventional plants, are less than 1% for cryogenic freezing
so that thawed products are once again juicy and appetising. In all Cryogen®
Rapid freezers this prevents drying out of the goods and the consequent
undesirable weight loss. There are now a range of options available to
achieve quality frozen product in a variety of forms and many processing
possibilities through cryogenic freezing.
Cryogen® Rapid Tunnel Freezer - Confectionery
manufacturers also use these tunnel freezers to stabilise decorations prior
to final conventional freezing of cakes.
Cryogen® Rapid Spiral Freezer - Offers high freezing
capacity with a small footprint.
Cryogen® Rapid Cabinet Freezer - suitable for small
cooling, chilling and freezing volumes and also for a wide variety of batch
processes.
Vertical Cryogen® Rapid Crust Freezer – Major benefits
for slicing of soft products such as cooked meats.
Cryogen® Rapid Rotary Freezer and Tumbling - Batch or
continuous rotary freezers are especially suited to freezing cubes of fish
and meat, minced meat and vegetables in IQF quality. Add-on components can
be used to achieve frozen sauce coatings on IQF product, giving portionable
prepared frozen recipes.
Cryogen® Rapid Immersion Freezer and Liquid Nitrogen Baths
- achieves freezing times of less than a minute, especially recommended for
pasty products with low heat transfer capacities and high incoming product
temperatures. Hot products coming out of an extruder are reliably and
quickly frozen in liquid nitrogen without any negative side effects like
discoloration.
Cryogen® Rapid Pelletiser - the ideal solution for
freezing liquid and pasty products into an IQF pellet form. This application
is used in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical sector. Fruit flavoured ice
cream, dessert additives, fruit juices as well as dairy products and sauces
have all been pelletised. The valuable contents and aromas are preserved by
the high freezing speed. A further example is in the preparation of
bacterial starting cultures used for example in the dairy industry.
