Air Products to Showcase Flash Freezing Solutions

Air Products, a leading company in industrial gases, will present its advanced flash freezing solutions tailored for specialty food products at the upcoming Summer Fancy Food Show 2026. This prestigious event will take place at the Javits Center in New York City from June 28 to June 30.

As part of its participation, Air Products invites all attendees to visit booth 2581, where industry specialists will be available to discuss how cryogenic flash freezing technology can transform production processes and enhance product quality while boosting productivity. This event is especially significant for specialty food manufacturers looking to adopt innovative technologies.

The Technology Behind the Solutions

At the heart of Air Products' offering are their Freshline® solutions, which harness the power of cryogenic gases, specifically liquid nitrogen (LIN) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Unlike traditional freezing methods that can take hours, Air Products’ technology allows food items to be frozen or chilled within mere minutes. This swift process minimizes yield loss and preserves vital moisture, ensuring the highest product quality.

Among the state-of-the-art freezing solutions presented will be the Freshline® IQ Freezer, which guarantees continuous, high-throughput freezing or chilling for a wide array of food products. Notably, this freezer boasts a compact design that requires minimal floor space and is modular, meaning it can be expanded easily to accommodate business growth. By integrating the Freshline® Smart Technology, Air Products facilitates remote troubleshooting, ensuring minimal operational downtime and safeguarding profitability.

Another highlight is the Freshline® MP Tunnel Freezer, engineered to meet the latest international hygiene standards while delivering exceptional freezing performance. This freezer’s efficient heat extraction capabilities enable quick freezing within a smaller framework, making it adaptable for various settings.
