Solutions for Freezing
|
TOP
|
At MOX-LINDE, we provide state-of-the-art cryogenic freezers for freezing baked goods, dairy products, fruits, poultry, prepared foods and meals, red meat, seafood and vegetables. All our cryogenic systems are simple to operate and are engineered to offer:
|
|
Higher capacity and production capabilities per unit of floor space
|
|
|
Elimination of defrost downtime
|
|
|
Low maintenance
|
|
|
Improved product handling
|
|
|
Minimal dehydration and drip loss during thawing
|
|
|
Improved food taste, shape, texture, moisture and nutrition
|
For example, our nitrogen and modular nitrogen/carbon dioxide tunnel freezers are engineered for continuous, carefully controlled freezing of food products at low to medium production rates.
Spiral-style freezers are ideal for higher volume freezing at medium-to-large production rates, offering maximum gas and processing efficiencies in less floor space than other cryogenic systems. Cryogenic immersion freezers offer the fastest method of freezing to preserve food product texture and moisture. Post-cooling tunnels can be added to improve the overall system efficiency.
In addition to stand-alone cryogenic freezing systems, our freezers are designed to work with and enhance the product quality obtained from a mechanical freezer. Placing a cryogenic freezer in front of a mechanical system offers food processors a production boost and a quality improvement with all food products that benefit from a rapid crust-freeze, such as dairy products, fruits, meats, poultry, prepared foods and meals, seafood and vegetables. The cryogenic freezer crust-freezes the product surface, sealing in moisture to enhance food quality, while preventing belt sticking and clumping.

Solutions for Chilling
|
TOP
|
MOX-LINDE's cryogenic chilling systems are ideal for use with further-processed fresh meat products and cook-chill prepared foods and meals, where it is vital to retain product safety and freshness qualities. Cryogenically chilling poultry and ground meat products during mixing and blending removes heat, eliminates fat smearing, improves downstream forming operations, and slows bacteria growth.
With hot baked products, rapid chilling limits microbial growth and case-hardens products against handling and packaging damage. The injection of liquid nitrogen into spice grinding mills prevents the loss of taste and aromatic compounds. And flour chilling systems improve the quality of bakery products and provide operating efficiencies by ensuring accurate and consistent flour temperatures.
Cryogenic Spray Crystallisation
Cryogenic Spray Crystallisation is a process for turning fats or blends into free flowing powders. Compared with conventional spray chilling processes, the BOC Spray Crystalliser offers a higher output for a smaller footprint, lower production costs and minimal operator intervention. There is no damage to the products as the equipment uses liquid nitrogen, which is inert. The system is both versatile and easy to use as the whole process is controlled and monitored through the custom Human Machine Interface (HMI)

There are solutions for quality, reliability, productivity and cost-effectiveness goals at every link the food product chain. The breadth of our application technologies, far beyond traditional in-plant freezing and chilling, reflect the depth of MOX-LINDE's commitment to the food industry.
Food Product Chain:
|
Growth & Harvest
|
|
Technologies include seed pregermination and greenhouse enrichment with carbon dioxide. Water oxygen supplementation is offered to enhance aquaculture yields.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Preparation & Preservation
|
|
MOX is a leading supplier of carbon dioxide - essential for carbonation - and provides the technical expertise to recommend appropriate carbon dioxide / nitrogen gas mixes required for improved beverage dispensing.
Other MOX food processing solutions include efficient methods of fat and oil hydrogenation, and cryogenic crystallization for diary, liquid, bakery and confectionery products.

|
|
|
|
Packaging
|
|
With Modified Atmosphere Packaging, our solution replace air with a product-specific gas mixture to retard bacteria and mold growth, reduce shrink and waste, and preserve taste, color, vitamins and sensory appeal. Liquid nitrogen droplet dispensing provides a quick and accurate method of inerting to minimize fat rancidity during the storage of nuts, milk products, peanut butter and dried potato.
MOX-LINDE also offers cost-effective packaging solutions for beverage producers, including the efficient reduction of in-can oxygen levels, and in-line systems to provide rigidity, enhancing the stackability of cans and plastic bottles.
