Air Products (AP) recently announced the North American launch of its 'Freshline tumbler freezer' (FTF), designed to meet the evolving demands of the food processing industry.
Using an innovative process configuration, the FTF harnesses the speed and economy of liquid nitrogen cooling to create food products enrobed with a variety of sauce or herb mixtures.
With the preference for convenience driving customers' food choices and ready-to-eat frozen meals currently making up over 27 percent of all main dishes.
The FTF is designed to complement that growth by making frozen food easily portionable into individual servings.
