APPLICATIONS OF FOOD-GRADE COMPRESSED AIR

While compressed air can be used to operate standard machines such as mixers and grinders, food-grade air compressors are most commonly used as a part of a packaging process to force air into canned goods or inject air into vacuum-sealed bags. In addition, food-grade air compressors are used in mixing products and their handling. They find application in dispensing draught beer, soft drinks, and sauces. Another common air compressor application is to fill liquid evenly in pastries, cakes, and other baked goods. Several food processing plants also use compressed air to freeze their products.

APPLICATIONS OF AIR COMPRESSOR IN BEVERAGE INDUSTRY

Air compressors have many uses in the beverage industry. Carbonated drinks, such as soda, beer, and sparkling wine, require pressurized carbon dioxide (CO2) gas to dispense their product. An air compressor is essential for packaging operations that involve filling large bottles with liquids such as juices, soda, or beer. Compressed air is also used in the aeration and fermentation process during the production of wine or beer. 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.

AIR COMPRESSORS SUITABLE FOR THE FOOD AND BEVERAGE INDUSTRY

The commonly air compressor technologies used for the food and beverage industry are oil-free screw air compressors, & oil-lubricated screw air compressors. This mostly depends on the air purity requirements for specific applications. Between oil-flooded screw air compressors and oil-lubricated screw air compressors, the oil-free screw air compressor is the most used type in the food and beverage industry where compressed air directly comes in contact with the food products. If you’re looking to buy an air compressor for your food or beverage business, it’s essential to make sure that you choose a compressor made for food-grade compressed air. In addition to quality components, such compressors use lubricants that are safe when used with food products.
