LEHIGH
VALLEY, Pa., March 7,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Products (NYSE:APD) will
highlight its latest innovations in "Smart Technology" capabilities
for seafood processors at the Seafood Expo North America at the
Boston Convention and Exhibition Center from March 10-12.
Among the technologies highlighted will be Air Products' new
Freshline® Smart Technology, which allows customers to
control and monitor food manufacturing processes remotely. Air
Products' Smart Technology uses sensors and wireless
technology to optimize processes and track key parameters.
Self-monitoring analysis allows customers to see data in real-time,
which can help maximize efficiency, productivity, and
sustainability.
In addition, Air Products will showcase its
Freshline® IQF+ Tunnel Freezer, which provides a highly
efficient design that allows processors to produce consistent,
high-quality Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) products in larger
throughputs than standard spray-freezing cryogenic IQF
freezers.
Conference attendees are invited to visit Air Products' booth
1074 to speak with an industry specialist about their specific
processes and challenges. Food processors will discover the many
benefits of Air Products' Freshline® solutions, which
use liquid nitrogen (LIN) and carbon dioxide
(CO2) to improve a variety of processes, such as
food freezing and chilling. The extremely cold temperatures of
these cryogenic gases enable food products to be chilled or frozen
in minutes instead of the hours traditionally required with
alternative systems. This rapid freeze results in smaller product
weight losses and helps to ensure moisture and quality are
maintained longer.
As a leader in cryogenic technology applications, Air Products
operates state-of-the-art food and grinding labs in Allentown, Pa., where the company tests
customer products on production-scale equipment to help determine
the feasibility of using cryogenics in their process, and can
quantify the benefits of using cryogenics in optimizing their food
processing operation.
Air Products has been supplying the food industry with gases,
equipment and technology for over 60 years. The company has
Freshline® solutions for every type of customer, from
large manufacturers with multiple product lines, to small food
processors with niche products. Air Products offers industrial
gases in a variety of delivery options to match each customer's
requirements.
