The new Cryoline PB plate belt tunnel freezer from Linde is a liquid nitrogen-powered freezer optimized to crust freeze a variety of difficult to handle products such as raw, marinated proteins, sauced foods, semi-liquid products and more. A specially-designed solid stainless-steel segmented conveyor belt is chilled in the freezer to cryogenic temperatures. As products are placed on the conveyor belt, the outside surface is quickly crust frozen by contact with the cold surface and cold airflow. This crust freezing locks in moisture, brine, marinade, or sauces so that there are minimal losses in downstream processing steps.
