From chicken nuggets to hot wings, from marinated chicken breasts to sliced deli turkey breast, Americans love their poultry. From initial stunning to fresh and further processing to final water treatment, Messer has the portfolio of gas technologies and experience you need to get more, quality product safely out the door.
Our family of cryogenic freezing and chilling systems enables us to implement temperature control solutions at any step of your process. Whether you're looking to add a new production line or add throughput to an existing one, our experienced team can help repurpose labor and increase productivity while improving the security of your cryogen supply.
We increased production from 4,500 lb/hr average production to rates to 6,600 lb/hr, with peaks of up to 8,000 lb/hr. These production increases help give us the flexibility to respond to demand increases and tight labor markets.

From small startups to large-scale operations, Messer’s pioneering cryogenic freezing solutions can help you achieve your production goals.
To boost existing mechanical freezing capacity during peak loads or production increases, many of our customers utilize our CRYOASSIST system to rapidly crust-freeze food products, locking in valuable moisture prior to further processing or freezing.
Our Messer Wave Impingement Freezer is perfect for chicken wings, diced chicken, and a variety of other Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) poultry products. Learn how Tyson Foods converted their CO2 tunnel to the latest IQF nitrogen solution.
Our precise liquid nitrogen and CO2 chilling solutions alleviate production bottlenecks while preventing dangerous manual labor with dry ice.
Messer’s other leading poultry chilling solutions include:
The new Messer KwikChiller technology delivers high-capacity chilling with nitrogen when floor space is at a premium. Developed in collaboration with poultry processors to chill fresh poultry in combo bins, successful installations demonstrated:

If processors prefer to use CO2, the Messer Combo Chiller also eliminates CO2 pellet handling, reduces labor, and removes cooling variability. The weight-based CO₂ dosing system delivers accurate, consistent temperatures for even product distribution for downstream processing and fewer product returns. The on-demand CO₂ cuts sublimation losses, removes pellet storage and improves safety with a dedicated exhaust.
With over 150 installations, these proven systems use liquid nitrogen injected through proprietary precision KRYOJECTOR® nozzles to chill poultry with cutting-edge efficiency. This hygienic system provides batch-to-batch consistency, prevents plugging, and retrofits simply into your existing system.
As an industry leader in poultry processing, we continue to support the National Chicken Council, National Turkey Federation, Southwest Meat Association, and the Poultry Federation. By listening to our customers and conducting product testing onsite or at the Messer Technical Center, we work to develop and refine differentiated technologies that solve the industry’s latest challenges.
