Linde, LLC, Bridgewater, N.J., introduced LIXSHOOTER bottom injectors, which are easy to retrofit and feature advanced hygienic design.

Unlike other cryogenic bottom injection (BI) nozzles, the self-sealing injectors are designed to prevent food product from penetrating injector orifices.

LIXSHOOTER injectors are strategically positioned on the bottom of the mixer, blender or kettle, and can rapidly chill ground meat, poultry and seafood mixes, bean and cheese blends, dough and batter recipes, yogurt and frozen desserts and gourmet foods, among other wet food or wet ingredient blends. With a dual-cryogen option, the injectors can chill with either liquid nitrogen (LIN) or carbon dioxide (CO₂). And, the dual-cryogen option for LIXSHOOTER injectors makes it possible to switch between LIN and CO₂ in a matter of minutes rather than hours or days, providing for production flexibility and higher reliability in cryogen supply.

The hygienic LIXSHOOTER injectors mount flush with the internal surface of the mixer to significantly minimize areas that could harbor moisture or foodborne pathogens. The advanced hygienic design helps improve productivity by reducing the time and labor required for maintenance and sanitation. The design also conforms to the hygienic design principles of the American Meat Institute (AMI).
