The present invention relates to equipment for ultra-rapid freezing of foods contained in packaging having multiple cavities for sale to the public, through application of a stream of liquid nitrogen in an amount sufficient to cause ultra-rapid freezing of the food. Liquid nitrogen is dispensed gravitationally from a vacuum-insulated container at atmospheric pressure by a plurality of nozzles at the centre of the upper surface of each cavity, thereby leading to brief immersion in the individual cavity; the gaseous nitrogen generated is used to create a substantially oxygen-free atmosphere cold enough to sustain the freezing process following such dispensing. The process decreases the amount of liquid nitrogen required compared with other freezing processes, as well as the personnel, equipment and physical space necessary for installation and operation thereof, thereby reducing the associated costs.

La presente invención se refiere a un equipo para el congelamiento ultrarrápido de alimentos contenidos en un empaque con múltiples cavidades para su venta al público, mediante la aplicación de un chorro de nitrógeno liquido, en una cantidad suficiente para producir el congelamiento ultrarrápido del alimento. El nitrógeno liquido se dispensa desde un depósito a presión atmosférica, aislado al vacio, a través de una pluralidad de boquillas por gravedad al centro de la superficie superior de cada cavidad, produciendo una breve inmersión en la cavidad individual; el nitrógeno gaseoso producido se emplea para formar una atmósfera prácticamente libre de oxigeno y suficientemente fria para mantener el proceso de congelación después del dispensado. El proceso disminuye la cantidad de nitrógeno liquido requerida comparada con otros procesos de congelación, asi como el personal, instalaciones y espacio físico necesarios para su instalación y operación, reduciendo los costos asociados.
