Temperature Control for Food Mixing and Forming Processes
The key to an optimized forming result
A warm mixed product fails to hold its shape and can stick to the forming plate. This results in unnecessary waste and rework. A common solution is to add ice water, dry ice, or frozen ingredients during the mixing or blending step. But this is not precise and can be time consuming or even unhygienic. This often fails to achieve the desired texture and temperature for your formed product. A popular alternative is to fit a liquid nitrogen or CO₂ injection system to the mixer or blender.
Why Cool Down Your Preparations During the Mixing Step?
Speed
The optimized product texture allows you to speed up the forming process
Reliability
Even, precise and repeatable temperature control improves consistency

Yield
They can be set up with different recipes allowing you to produce various throughputs and products with the same machine
Quality
Increased product homogeneity and no product damage due to the cold
Food Safety
A faster chill means shorter time to reach safe chilled temperatures
Shelf Life
The faster the product is cooled down, the faster it becomes microbiologically stable
