CRYOMIX™Why choose CRYOMIX™ ?The CRYOMIX™ system controls the following in a rotating tumbler:product temperature, by means of the controlled injection of a cryogenic fluidthe uniform mixing of IQF products using a special baffle system which leaves the most fragile products undamagedthe complete and uniform coating of IQF products by rapidly crusting the sauce around themThis is achieved by alternating the injection cycles of sauce and liquid nitrogen.
Despite its batch aspect, with a minimum floor-space requirement and a nominal capacity of 1 to 2 tons/hours the ISO 9001 certified CRYOMIX™ unit can be easily integrated into an on-line production system. ARMOR INOX will assist its customer with the product loading and unloading interface.
• AIR LIQUIDE processes
A process controller PLC enables the programming and storage of all operating parameters including the following :
nitrogen injection quantity measuring, with a patented liquid nitrogen supply system which ensures total safety, reliability and optimization of gas consumption
sauce distribution controlled by a metering system, which enables precise, uniform and repeatable sauce injection under completely sanitary conditions; the coating rate can easily reach more than 50 % in weight (i.e. for a 50 % coating rate in the final product, product weight will be 50%, coating weight 50%)
tumbler rotation speed
automatic sequence execution
total cycle time
Cycle repeatability is thus guaranteed, along with total process control. This also allows any type of traceability through global process parameters mastery.
Because of all these characteristics and advantages, this equipment is used by the French and European industry leaders of IQF food. This is the way to add value to frozen products and continually create new products and benchmarks.
