A LITTLE BIT About Us
Exactly What Are We Up to?
We work directly with the food industry's Iconic Brands in order to take their time proven, established ice cream and confectionary flavors directly into a new dimension of Cryogenically Frozen Novelties.
Cry-oh-gen-ic-aly, . . what?!
"Cryogenically Frozen Food Novelties"
Cryogenically freezing food products uses liquid nitrogen to effectively flash freeze the food products. This insures maximum production efficiencies while minimizing costs. The use of cryogenic gas at very low operating temperatures of less than -320ºF provides a high heat transfer rate that ensures quick freezing times.
Cryogenic freezing, a gas-based process that flash freezes product to temperatures of -40 degrees or lower, helps retain the flavor, taste and product quality ~better than traditional freezing methods.
THE CHILLING REALITY BEHIND "DIPPIN' DOTS" & "MINI MELTS" brands CRYOGENICALLY FROZEN NOVELTIES
“Dippin' Dots” and, “Mini Melts” ice cream novelties are produced via a process called cryogenic encapsulation. The process of cryogenically freezing ice cream was created by microbiologist Curt Jones who also founded the Dippin’ Dots Company in New Grand Chain, Illinois in 1988. Essentially, the process involves using pipettes to introduce tiny drops of liquid into liquid nitrogen. Both, Dippin' Dots and Mini Melts ice cream mix is the liquid used, and the droplets instantaneously freeze into flavor-filled beads.
The instantaneous freezing achieved with liquid nitrogen results in the best possible frozen dessert. The ice cream mix freezes so quickly that ice crystals that are typical of conventional ice cream production methods are prevented. As a result, the cryogenic product is significantly creamier, and the flavor profiles are more intense. Cryogenically frozen ice cream products are frozen at a temperature of negative 320 degrees Fahrenheit, which ensures that the resulting dessert beads lock in their maximum level of creaminess and intense flavor.
Conventional freezers cannot store cryogenically frozen desserts. You will always find cryogenic products stored at a minimum, negative 40 degrees, either in custom freezer cases or vending machines capable of maintaining the negative 40 degrees
Our Mission
We recognize the enormous trend towards smart vending and automated convenience store access in a World that has emerged post-pandemic, to a race that has no finish line. Today's Consumers are in a hurry to exceed smart-vending forecast sales of over $26 Billion by 2030. The intelligent vending machine market is growing even faster with 12% CAGR during a similar period. The need for ready-made food has increased in recent years due to consumers' busy lifestyles, urbanization and a change to a convenience-first mindset. Trend research forecasts that by 2023, the ice cream market will be valued at $78 billion compared to $50 billion in just 2016. Cryogenically frozen ice cream and dessert novelty sales will contribute heavily to that forecast through smart vending technologies and C-store introductions in new, and innovative product offerings.
