Food and Beverage
Typical uses of compressed air in the food and beverage industry include:
Automated air source - various valves and actuators on automated canning, packaging, and bottling production lines
Transportation - used to push powders through pipelines
Cleaning - cleaning bottles, packaging, and molds before canning
Aeration - increasing oxygen content in liquids
Fermentation - providing oxygen for fermentation of citric acid, red wine, yogurt, etc.
Storage - providing nitrogen for preservation of canned or bagged food, requiring oil-free and sterile conditions
Cooling - cooling freshly baked food
Clean compressed air means that only standard levels of water content, oil content, and dust impurities remain in the gas. Compressed air that does not meet cleanliness standards can cause product spoilage and production losses, or even endanger consumer health:
Contaminating pure powders during transport
Compromising food safety and altering food flavor
Affecting bacterial activity, creating defects, and contaminating the final product
Damaging nitrogen generation equipment, leading to high maintenance costs
Contaminating the final product
