Linde announced today its CRYOLINE UPF ultra performance flighted freezer—to help customers produce individually quick frozen (IQF) products—and the CRYOLINE CVT cryovantage tunnel freezer—with a focus on cryogen efficiency—will be on display in booth 11023 at the FPSA Process Expo in Chicago.

DSI Freezing Solutions A/S, a Denmark-based market leader in plate freezing technology, has acquired Cryogenic Equipment and Services NV (CES) and Dantech Freezing Systems A/S (Dantech). Thereby it has created a new global player with the industry’s widest product range within industrial freezing, cooling, and heat treatment of food.

Dippin’ Dots, the nation’s leading flash-frozen beaded ice cream company, has opened a new manufacturing facility focused on supporting the demand for Dippin’ Dots Cryogenics, L.L.C., an arm of the company that lends the brand’s patented technology and equipment for applications to other industries beyond ice cream.

Traditionally, chilling and freezing have been labor and energy intensive processes. But, asking the right questions and implementing needed changes early can keep operations running smoothly and quickly, leading to significant long-term gains.
