Messer Americas has unveiled a new nitrogen chilling solution for fresh poultry, the KwikChiller, in response to growing concerns related to carbon dioxide (CO2) supply chain issues.
Offering a strong alternative to CO2 solutions on the market today, the KwikChiller nitrogen-based system has already achieved an 85% reduction in purge loss at a poultry processing facility in the US.
The industrial gas specialist’s product achieves nitrogen chilling with an integrated exhaust to enable uniform temperature control for a ready-to-ship product.
Don Smiley, Director of Food and Beverage at Messer, notes that manually shovelling CO2 pellets has long been an industry standard for chilling fresh poultry in second processing.
