Food & Beverages

All of Messer’s pure gases and gas mixtures used in the food industry are named Gourmet. The gases satisfy the highest quality standards and are permitted by the EC for food applications. In nearly every area in food industry our gases are used.

Bakery Products

The range of baked goods is wide from bread rolls to different types of cake, and Messer's application know-how in this segment is just as extensive. It starts with silo-inerting during raw material storage, carries on to cooling processes during kneading, and continues to the transport of cooled or frozen baked goods.

Beer

The brewing process starts, strictly speaking, with the selection of raw materials. According to the "German Purity Law", in Germany these can only consist of water, hops, malt and yeast. In further carefully coordinated process steps, the beer is then produced according to taste and type.  Various gas applications are used to optimise the production process: the most well-known application being the carbonating of the beer by means of carbon dioxide. But gases from Messer are also used when inerting product tanks to displace unwanted oxygen or during beer filling.

Coffee

Coffee is cultivated in over 50 countries worldwide, with different levels of quality depending on the region and type of coffee. The combination of roasted, ground coffee beans and hot water finally results in the popular hot drink. A series of Messer gases are used throughout the entire production process.

Dairy Products

Milk is one of our most important basic foodstuffs and the range of dairy products is large. The manufacture of products such as yoghurt, cheese and quark consists of a whole range of process steps from purifying the raw milk, giving it a longer shelf-life to finally creating the end product. Gases from Messer are used in many of these steps.

Fish and Seafood

The term fish is used to summarise all types of fish which are suitable for human consumption. A distinction is made between freshwater fish and saltwater fish depending on the habitat. Gases from Messer are used throughout the entire process chain, from fish farming to the cooled transport of the marine life.

Greenhouse

Plants are cultivated in heated or unheated greenhouses with their growth supported through CO2 fertilisation and O2 enrichment of the irrigation water. Ripening gases are used for climacteric fruit; these can specifically influence the ripening process of fruit which has already been harvested.

Ice Cream

Due to the many different types of product, the production of ice cream is particularly varied. In addition to cooling, probably the most obvious gas application in this segment, other processes such as chocolate coating, surface hardening and pelletising are also carried out with the use of gases.

Meat

Meat production consists of a number of individual processes: from animal breeding to slaughtering, and via various steps, to the packaging and sale of the product. Gases are used in many of these stages with Messer supplying the necessary know-how, equipment and of course, gas.

Poultry

Poultry production consists of a number of individual processes: from animal breeding to slaughtering and, via various steps, to the packaging and sale of the product. Gases are used in many of these stages with Messer supplying the necessary know-how, equipment and, of course, gas.

Ready-made Meals

Ready-made meals make cooking easier as the consumer is freed of any preparation, except for the heating of the food. The varied range of ready-made meals also reflects the complexity of the manufacturing process. Gases from Messer are used in many of the individual process steps. These include the mixing, cooling, freezing and packaging of the products.

More

Soft Drinks

The production of soft drinks usually takes place following the same process: the drinking or spring water stored in inertised tanks is freed from unwanted constituents, in particular oxygen; it is then mixed with beverage concentrates and optionally carbonated. The finished soft drinks are finally filled into bottles or cans at filling stations and delivered to the market.

Spices and Herbs

Herbs and spices have become an integral part of our food. During their processing they are often ground, cooled or frozen and packaged. Gases from Messer play a role in many of these applications.  

More

Tobacco

The preparation of the tobacco leaves is the most important step during the production of tobacco products. Gases from Messer are used to increase the volume of the chopped plants.  

More

Vegetables and Fruits

The processing of fruit and vegetables consists of many individual steps. After cultivation and harvesting, fruit and vegetables are, depending on the desired end product, sorted, peeled and cut, cooled, and packaged until finally being transported to supermarkets.

More

Wine

The process of wine-making consists of many carefully coordinated procedures with gases playing an important role. The applications include numerous cooling processes in which cryogenic gases are used, also inerting of storage tanks and filling under a protective gas atmosphere.
