Praxair has expanded its offerings to meat and poultry processors with the introduction and recent commercial installation of a cryogenic liquid nitrogen injection system for cooling of meat mixing processes.
The proprietary ColdFront™ CryoBlend™ injection system can improve cryogen efficiency by over 30% versus traditional nitrogen cooling systems.
Recent testing completed at KC Sausage in Kansas City, Missouri, confirms the effectiveness of liquid nitrogen to achieve precise temperature control and deliver consistent product quality and efficiency. Precise temperature control during meat mixing and grinding helps provide consistency in the forming process and decreases bacterial growth that can alter flavor or reduce shelf life.
