Airgas announced a new addition to its FreezeRight line of cryogenic freezers at the International Boston Seafood Show on March 21.
The new FreezeRight IQF meets seafood industry processing requirements for increased Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) production rates. Other features are reduced cryogen use and a top-lifting design.
“The FreezeRight IQF was specifically designed to allow increased throughput, provide a quality IQF product, and use liquid cryogens much more efficiently,” said Greg Caniglia, Director, Engineering Solutions Group, Airgas Merchant Gases. Caniglia explains that the standard Airgas FreezeRight IQF tunnel can process more than 5,000 pounds of product per hour while using significantly less liquid nitrogen or carbon dioxide than conventional cryogenic methods.
