Messer Launches the KwikChiller for Enhanced Poultry Processing
Messer, a renowned cryogenic solutions provider, is set to present its latest technology, the KwikChiller, during an exclusive event at IPPE 2025. This innovative solution, designed to chill fresh poultry using nitrogen, promises to revolutionize the processing industry.
Advantages of the KwikChiller Technology
The KwikChiller represents a significant leap forward in poultry chilling technology. "Manually shoveling CO2 pellets has long been the traditional method used for chilling poultry during its processing stages," explained Don Smiley, the Director of Food and Beverage at Messer. He noted that this process posed various challenges, including safety risks and supply chain issues.
Responding to Industry Needs
In response to demands from poultry processors for a safer and more efficient alternative, Messer’s engineering team developed a nitrogen-based chilling solution. This system has demonstrated an impressive 85% reduction in purge loss at a leading poultry facility.
What Makes the KwikChiller Stand Out?
The new in-line chilling technology offers several compelling features:
- Significant yield improvements while accommodating high production rates in a compact setup.
- Rapid and uniform temperature control, ensuring products are ready for shipment.
- An integrated exhaust system that enhances safety by providing a viable alternative to the outdated method of handling CO2 pellets.
Exclusive Presentation at IPPE 2025
Messer will showcase the KwikChiller in a private innovation suite at the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) from January 28 to 30. Attendees wishing to learn more about this groundbreaking technology can pre-register for a tour of the suite by contacting their Messer account manager.
