APPLICATIONS

From food packaging and food processing to aerating and bottling beverages, there are many applications within the food and beverage industry that require clean “Class 0” quality compressed air. Below are just some of the applications.

FOOD INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS THAT REQUIRE OIL-FREE COMPRESSED AIR

Mixing, handling and dispensing

The automated systems that mix, fill and handle ingredients and products all require compressed air to operate. Here, compressed air is used to control the valves and actuators in the automated lines.

Cleaning

Compressed air is used to clean bottles and packages prior to filling. It is also used for blow-off applications, cleaning, sorting, cutting, shaping, and conveying food products.

Cooling

In mass production of for example baked goods, compressed air is used to cool down the food after they emerge from the oven.

Packaging and bottling

Compressed air is commonly used to force air into canned goods and bottles. It is also injected into vacuum sealed bags.

Processing

Compressed air is required for the movement of food products along a production line including processes like freezing and dehydration.

BEVERAGE INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS THAT REQUIRE OIL-FREE AIR COMPRESSORS

Dispensing

Dispensing carbonated drinks, such as soda, beer, and sparkling wine, all require pressurised carbon dioxide (CO2) gas.

Aeration & fermentation

Compressed air is used in both the aeration and fermentation process during the production of wine or beer.

Packaging and bottling

Compressed air is essential for packaging operations that involve filling bottles with liquids such as juice or water.

Processing

The movement of beverages through the production line is also made possible with the help of air compressors. Pneumatically powered machines are used to seal bottle caps and dispense soft drinks.
