| Visit Linde at the International Poultry Show Jan. 23-25
Murray Hill, New Jersey, U.S., January 22, 2008 -- Want to ensure your food is always at its best? Learn how to improve safety, quality and yield with Linde’s new cryogenic chilling and freezing technologies.
Marinated, individually quick frozen or ready-to-eat poultry has special requirements that demand more of processors’ time and attention. Linde, a member of The Linde Group, the leading global gases and engineering company, provides processors with cost-effective technologies designed to help customers maximize cryogenic efficiency and production throughput.
Visit Linde in booth #1219 at the International Poultry Exhibition in Atlanta’s World Congress Center, January 23-25 to learn more about how Linde’s decades of experience in developing hygienically designed chilling and freezing technologies can improve your operations. Linde also is a sponsor of the IPE’s Welcome Reception for attendees, immediately after the show on Wednesday, Jan. 23.
“As processors reconfigure their operations to provide consumers with even more prepared food choices, Linde helps them address their most challenging concerns, including temperature control, increased production capacity and food safety,” said Mark DiMaggio, head of food and beverage markets, Linde North America.
For example, Linde offers the food industry’s first, completely hygienic cryogenic freezer. The Linde CRYOLINE® hygienic tunnel freezer helps processors reduce freezing bottlenecks and downtime while lowering their food safety risk. It is the first cryogenic freezer designed in accordance with U.S. Department of Agriculture and American Meat Institute guidelines for sanitary design.
The modular tunnel freezer has sloped external and internal surfaces to eliminate liquid collection and to facilitate easy draining, no niches to harbor pathogens and offers complete access to all areas for easy cleaning and inspection.
“The CRYOLINE freezer is perfect for ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook protein processors,” DiMaggio said.
For chilling poultry products before further processing, Linde’s newly relaunched combo chiller gives processors an automated alternative to using carbon dioxide pellets or snow, which must be manually loaded into combo bins.
The Linde combo chiller takes breasts, tenders and wings directly from the deboning line and deposits them into combo bins in layers interspersed with CO2 snow dispensed automatically through snowhorns.
“Dispensing snow at strategic intervals eliminates inconsistencies that can cause hot or cold spots. The automated process also eliminates labor and CO2 off-gassing, creating a safer employee work environment,” DiMaggio said.
The Linde Group is the leading global gases and engineering group of companies with more than 50,000 employees working in around 70 countries worldwide. Following the acquisition of The BOC Group the company has gases and engineering sales of approximately 12 billion euros. The strategy of The Linde Group is geared towards forward-looking products and services.
