Athletic shoe tongue sleeve

Method and apparatus for rapidly crust or through freezing a particle by simultaneously moving the particle through a bath of cryogenic liquid and exposing the particle or portions of the particle not submerged in the liquid to a spray of the cryogenic liquid.

Liquid nitrogen immersion/impingement freezing method and apparatus

A spiral type freezer constructed and operated to introduce refrigerated atmosphere into the bottom of the insulated chamber and circulate the atmosphere in a circulation flow from the bottom of the chamber to an exit on top of the chamber, the refrigerated atmosphere producing a thermal gradient from the bottom to the top of the chamber so that the freezer is operated non-isothermally.

Spiral freezer

A method and apparatus for chunking or kibbling foodstuffs by moving the foodstuff through a device adapted to produce individual particles of random shape and size. The invention is characterized by adapting the device or utilizing the process so that the foodstuff is exposed to a liquid cryogen prior to entering the device while the portion of the device producing the particle is simultaneously exposed to the liquid cryogen.

Method and apparatus for producing chunks or kibbles of a foodstuff

Method and apparatus for quick freezing particles with surface moisture by immersion in liquid cryogen to produce a frozen crust or layer on the particles followed by agitation in content with the vaporized cryogen to complete freezing and prevent clumping of the particles.
