Industrial gas supply for the food industry
Keeping food fresher, longer
Whatever your sector in the food industry, you strive to satisfy consumers and beat the competition while meeting ever increasing health requirements. Liquid carbon dioxide and dry ice from Nippon Gases are powerful tools to help you increase shelf life and improve quality in a cost-effective manner.
Nippon Gases UK has been working with leading partners across the agri-food industry for many years now, and many food industry processes can rely on Nippon Gases liquid carbon dioxide, and dry ice as an economic and environmentally friendly tool.
industrial gases for the food industry
Dry Ice
DrikoldTM is Nippon Gases trade name for dry ice which is carbon dioxide (CO2) in its solid state at a temperature of -78.6 °C (-109.5 °F). Dry ice is used for chilling and freezing food for transportation. Dry ice is odourless, tasteless and can be used to help preserve products due to its bacteriostatic properties.
Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide is a key cryogenic agent in cooling, chilling and freezing applications, protecting the taste and texture of your food products by maintaining proper temperature control. Carbon dioxide also reduces the need for preservatives in packaged products.
industrial applications for the food industry
CO2 Snowing
Cool your food products with carbon dioxide snow. Our CO2 application systems are an economical and precise way to remove heat. With a wide range of snowing applications, you can determine the exact amount, pattern and shape you need to meet your cooling requirements.
Controlled Atmosphere Stunning
Improving product quality, supporting your animal handling policies and enhancing the worker environment are all achieved with the Nippon Gases CAS system for broiler and turkey processing.
Flour and Dough Cooling
CO2 is a flexible, cost-effective tool that can be applied at various stages in the baking and confection process. It offers speed of chilling with precise temperature control, which is very important in the baking industry. For many years CO2 chilling has proven to be an integral part in a variety of applications.
Freezing and Chilling
We offer a full product line of freezing and chilling equipment, and can design and build a custom system to meet your specific need. With Nippon Gases, you can count on a system designed to maximize both yield and production.
Meat Mixing
Heat generated during mixing and grinding accelerates bacterial growth and leads to off flavours, decreased shelf life and spoilage. Our cryogenic meat mixing systems slow bacterial growth and assure uniformity of temperature, helping you maximize shelf life and product quality.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP)
Extend the shelf life of your meat, baked goods and produce. With over 200 specialty gas blends for food packaging, we can help food processors and packers select the right option to fit their specific needs.
