The Praxair ColdFront Tunnel Freezer lineup offers food processors options to optimize their freezing operations. Every manufacturing environment is different, so Praxair food experts conduct an in-depth production assessment of a food processing system before recommending a freezing tunnel. The data-driven selection process looks at heat transfer rates, a food’s thermal fingerprint, production throughput, cryogen efficiency and more to determine the optimal system for each application.
Praxair’s Tunnel Vision
“Not all freezing process requirements are the same,” said Chris Johnson, Director, Praxair Business Development. “Manufacturing sites differ and what’s being frozen varies. With our Food Technologies Laboratory, we take all this into consideration and conduct tests with customer products on full-size production equipment.” The information garnered from the Food Lab tests coupled with the engineering overview of the on-site manufacturing environment is what is used to determine the optimal freezing tunnel. “We take a holistic approach to recommend the best system for our customers, so they end up with the efficient system they need and the high quality end product they desire.”
