view glossary term online: https://www.recipetips.com/glossary-term/t--35707/impingement-freezing.asp

A method used by food manufacturers to freeze food items, such as poultry and beef, when preparing the product for further processing. When using this method, high velocity air jets direct their force at the top and bottom of a food product to remove the air, or thermal barrier, surrounding the product surface. Once this barrier or layer of heat is removed it allows for faster freezing of the product.
