Air Products to Highlight its Freshline® Smart Technology and Food Freezing Solutions at Seafood Expo North America
LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa., March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Products (NYSE:APD) will highlight its Freshline® Smart Technology and food freezing solutions for seafood processors at Seafood Expo North America at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center from March 16-18.
Air Products' Freshline® Smart Technology allows customers to monitor their food manufacturing equipment remotely to optimize processes and track key performance parameters. Self-monitoring analysis allows customers to see data in real-time, which can help maximize efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. For data driven manufacturers, the possibilities with this technology are limitless.
In addition, Air Products will highlight its Freshline® IQ Freezer, which offers continuous high throughput freezing or chilling for a broad range of food products, requiring minimal floorspace. It is designed in 10-foot modular sections making it easily field expandable. Couple this state of the art machine with Smart Technology, and Air Products engineers can work with a customer's team to easily troubleshoot from afar, minimizing downtime and the impact to the bottom line.
Conference attendees are invited to visit Air Products' booth 1074 to speak with an industry specialist about their specific processes and challenges. Food processors will discover the many benefits of Air Products' Freshline® solutions, which use liquid nitrogen (LIN) and carbon dioxide (CO2) to improve a variety of processes, such as food freezing and chilling. The extremely cold temperatures of these cryogenic gases enable food products to be chilled or frozen in minutes instead of the hours traditionally required with alternative systems. This rapid freeze results in smaller yield losses and helps to ensure moisture and quality are preserved.
As a leader in cryogenic technology applications, Air Products operates a state-of-the-art food and grinding lab at its headquarters in Allentown, Pa. Customers and prospects can utilize the facility to test products on production-scale equipment to help determine the feasibility of using cryogenics in their process. Working with industry specialists, prospective customers can quantify the benefits and cost of using cryogenics in their operation without investing in any capital.
Air Products has been supplying the food industry with gases, equipment and technology for over 60 years. The company has Freshline® solutions for every type of customer, from large manufacturers with multiple production lines, to small food processors with niche products. Air Products offers industrial gases in a variety of delivery options to match each customer's requirements.
