ACCU-CHILL LX Cryogenic Chilling Solution
Bottom Chilling at the Top of Its Game
Addressing Today’s Food Processing Challenges
Food processing companies specialized in blended or ground products are challenged to maintain consistently uniform temperature during mixing and between batches - despite frequently changing conditions. In addition to growing efficiency and cost pressures, they also need to meet rising consumer expectations around food quality and comply with strict hygiene standards.
Conventional chilling methods come with a number of downsides. These include compromises to efficiency with longer chilling times, the formation of hot and cold spots, longer mixing times, poor temperature control with batch-to-batch inconsistencies, and additional capital expenditure.
A long-standing pioneer in food freezing and chilling, we have developed an answer to the temperature control challenge during blending - our ACCU-CHILL LX cryogenic chilling solution. With an installed base of 600+ ACCU-CHILL systems worldwide, the market success of this chilling system reflects our decades of experience in food freezing and chilling.
How Does It Work?
ACCU-CHILL LX is a patented cryogenic chilling solution designed to deliver precise temperature control during mixing or blending. Using liquid nitrogen (LIN) or liquid carbon dioxide (LIC) as a refrigerant, the system enables efficient heat transfer and uniform chilling through seamless integration with mixing equipment. This results in fast, consistent cooling, reducing temperature variances and enhancing product quality across a wide range of food products, from proteins and pastes to liquids and powders.
Benefits at a Glance
With our turnkey, end-to-end service offering for ACCU-CHILL LX, you can look forward to an installation customized to your individual needs and offering the following benefits:
- Fast chilling times:
Accelerated blending cycles resulting in greater productivity. - Higher quality:
Shorter chilling cycles enabling greater consistency and reduced risk of "over mixing". - Flexibility:
Runs on carbon dioxide (CO2) or nitrogen (N2) to fit individual product characteristics and existing infrastructure. - Resource efficiency:
20 to 30% cryogen efficiency gain over CO2 top-down snow horn injection or dry ice. - Temperature accuracy:
+/- 1°C control window for batch-to-batch consistency, improved forming and less rework. - Superior hygiene and safety:
Special nozzle design with self-sealing closure on blender wall to eliminate cross-contamination and nozzle blockages. - More than just piping and nozzles:
Full service from Linde including optimized system sizing, exhaust and controls.
