Air Liquide has revolutionized the IQF (Individual Quick Frozen) processing of small, sticky, and high value products with the development of a new concept in cryogenic freezing called the ALIGAL™ CC. This versatile cryogenic freezing system features continuous current liquid nitrogen immersion to convey the product through the freezing process. A hydraulically powered lift system raises the freezer top, exit conveyor and impellor system, giving 360-degree access for sanitation and maintenance.

Air Liquide’s fresh, innovative, and easy-to-clean cryogenic freezer is an economical growth solution for small to mid-size food processors. The FZ addresses food plant sanitation concerns by opening so fully that all internal mechanisms are fully accessible, fully visible and all surfaces are easier to clean than for any previous Air Liquide tunnel freezer.

Air Liquide’s crust freezing device, Crust Flow-P™, is the ideal solution for surface freezing and hardening of fragile, soft or sticky products. Our innovative nitrogen saturation technique transforms the plastic conveyor belt into a quick-freezing sponge for fast processing with no waste while simplifying your slicing and coating process.

Air Liquide’s crust freezing device, Crust Flow-V™, is suited for crust and full quick freezing of small products such as meat and cheese cubes, ground meat, and seafood for individually quick frozen (IQF) quality. The surface of the product is rapidly frozen in a vibrating, vacuum insulated, stainless steel tray to ensure simultaneous free-rolling freezing and transport of your food product.
