Meat and poultry
The meat and poultry industry in developed countries is rapidly transforming:
- Increased vertical integration (from livestock to processed meat)
- Horizontal integration (mergers and alliances)
- Line integration (on-line processes vs. batch processes)
- Increased automation (cost effective via reduced labour costs and safety via automated reliable controls that improve compliance and minimize liabilities)
- Product diversification (new technologies that produce added-value products)
- Environmental compliance (air, water, animals and people)
Modern production and processing of meat and poultry requires the use of gas applications throughout the value chain. Keywords like animal welfare, product quality and food safety are some of the reasons for using our gas applications.
For several years we have been an active partner in these developments due to our know-how and experience.
Typical applications:
- Stunning of pigs and birds
- Chilling in mixers / blenders
- Crust freezing before slicing
- Freezing of various products
- Dry ice or dry ice snow for chilling purposes
- Transportation with dry ice or liquid carbon dioxide, e.g. FlexiTempTM
