Aplicaciones
Alimentación y bebidas
Los sistemas de inyección de nitrógeno líquido NITRODOSE® de Vacuum Barrier se utilizan para presurizar o inertizar envases delicados, tales como latas y botellas de PET.
Una gota precisa de nitrógeno líquido que se expande, puede llenar con gran rapidez latas de aluminio y envases ligeros de PET, calientes y fríos, proporcionando una presión constante entre envases y eliminando problemas de panelado y paletizado.
Los sistemas NITRODOSE® también se usan para inertizar envases alimentarios y reducir la absorción de oxígeno por el producto para aumentar la vida útil y conservar el sabor, color y frescura del producto.
NITROGENATION OF COFFEE
The addition of Liquid Nitrogen to ready-to-drink coffee products just after filling adds pressure to aluminum cans. This provides the can with some rigidity making it more stable. Liquid Nitrogen dosing can also help reduce O2 in the headspace preserving the flavor and aroma of the coffee.
As cold-brew coffee continues to grow in popularity, more companies are looking to add nitro-coffee to their offering. The same equipment used for pressurization can also be used to nitrogenate coffee to get the smooth, creamy, and attractive cascade effect after pouring, with or without a widget.
NITROGENATION OF BEER
Dissolved oxygen in beer is closely monitored and controlled throughout the brewing process, but O2 pickup can occur during filling. Reducing O2 in the headspace preserves the flavor and aroma of the beer.
Nitro-style beers are a growing segment of the craft brewing industry. The same equipment used to purge the headspace can also be used to nitrogenate a beer to get the smooth, creamy, and attractive cascade effect after pouring, with or without a widget.
