Messer, provider of cryogenic temperature control solutions, will showcase its KwikChiller in an Innovation Suite at the 2025 International Baking Industry Exposition (IBIE). This technology cools or freezes bakery and prepared-food products at a high throughput in a compact footprint. 

“Bakers and processors have long sought a reliable way to maintain product quality while scaling up their operations,” says Don Smiley, director of food and beverage at Messer. “With the continuous operational design and a compact footprint of the KwikChiller, processors can now rapidly cool or freeze delicate or texture-sensitive products while simultaneously boosting throughput.” 

Why cryogenic solutions matter for baking and beyond, according to Messer:

• Versatile product handling: Can be used for a wide range of baked and prepared foods, from cakes and pies to burritos, pizzas, and premium snacks.
• Boost productivity: Cryogenic or cryo-mechanical technology deployments can possibly increase throughput, add supplemental cooling capacity, and reduce bottlenecks.
• Precise performance and quality: Variable-rate cooling aims to protect delicate or texture-sensitive products and preserve their quality.
• High-capacity in a compact space: Cool or freeze at high production rates with compact equipment that fits easily into existing process lines.

Messer invites all IBIE attendees to visit its booth, where Messer’s food team can help address challenges with a full portfolio of freezing and chilling solutions.
