Air Products & Chemicals Showcases Freshline® Freezing Solutions at IBIE 2025

Air Products Unveils Advanced Food Freezing Solutions at IBIE 2025

Air Products & Chemicals prepares to showcase its innovative Freshline® food freezing solutions at the upcoming International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE), set to take place from September 14-17, 2025, at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The company highlights the Freshline® IQ Freezer, which is engineered to efficiently freeze various bakery items. This state-of-the-art freezer incorporates 10-foot modular sections that not only simplify installation but also allow for field expansion. Such adaptability is essential for businesses aiming to scale their operations in response to heightened demand. Additionally, the freezer is equipped with integrated hardware for optional remote monitoring, enabling users to track efficiency and troubleshoot issues in real-time.

The Freshline® solutions leverage liquid nitrogen (LIN) and carbon dioxide (CO2) for rapid chilling and freezing processes, achieving results in mere minutes. This quick freeze technology is crucial for preserving product moisture and quality, significantly reducing yield losses that can occur with slower freezing methods. By maintaining the integrity of baked goods, Air Products ensures that businesses can deliver high-quality products consistently. Attendees at IBIE are invited to visit booth #7656 to consult with industry specialists who can address specific operational challenges and demonstrate the advantages of Air Products' cryogenic technologies.

With more than six decades of experience in supplying the food industry with gases, technology, and equipment, Air Products remains a leader in the field. The company operates a cutting-edge food and grinding lab at its headquarters in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where clients can conduct feasibility tests on cryogenic applications using production-scale equipment. This facility not only helps customers assess the practicality of implementing cryogenic solutions but also alleviates the initial capital investment concerns that smaller businesses may face. By offering customized Freshline® solutions tailored to the operational needs of both large manufacturers and niche food processors, Air Products reinforces its commitment to advancing the baking industry.

Air Products’ participation in IBIE underscores its dedication to supporting economic growth within the grain-based foods sector. The exposition, recognized as the largest baking industry event in the Western Hemisphere, serves as a platform for promoting innovation and collaboration among industry stakeholders. Supported by various industry organizations, proceeds from the event are reinvested in initiatives that bolster the grain-based food industry, further aligning with Air Products' mission to enhance food processing technologies and efficiencies.
