How to Choose Air Compressor for Food and beverage Industy
Food and beverage processing plants must first consider whether compressed air is directly exposed to the food or beverage in production processes:
Compressed air come into direct contact with food or beverage during the production process of food industry
Food or beverage contains bacteria contamination or oil content increase which may result in product quality affected or even acute poisoning to consumers, leading to digestive system disorder, dizziness, headache and other symptoms, increasing consumer risk of chronic cancer. Therefore, compressed air requires purification without any dirt and oil, reaching the standard of 1 level above. Further process equipment should be equipped with gas water separator, drying device and high-precision filter that remove water, oil and particulate matter from compressed air before it contacts with food.
Oil-free Scroll Compressors
The oil-free scroll air compressor is a crucial piece of equipment for the food and beverage industry. Its unique design ensures that no oil is present in the compressed air, making it safe for use in food processing and packaging. The scroll compressor operates quietly and efficiently, with minimal maintenance required. Its compact size and oil-free operation make it an ideal choice for businesses looking to improve their sustainability and reduce their environmental impact.
Oil-free Screw Compressor
The dry oil-free rotary screw air compressor is a popular choice for the food and beverage industry due to its unique features. This type of compressor operates without the need for oil, which eliminates the risk of oil contamination in the production process. Additionally, the rotary screw design provides a continuous flow of compressed air, ensuring a reliable and efficient supply for food and beverage production. With its advanced technology and specialized design, the dry oil-free rotary screw air compressor is an essential tool for maintaining high standards of quality and safety in the industry.
Oil-Free Centrifugal Air Compressors
EternelComp provides advanced Oil-Free Centrifugal Air Compressors designed for industries that require 100% clean and stable compressed air. Our product range includes single-stage and multi-stage centrifugal compressors, high-efficiency variable frequency models, and customized solutions for different operating environments. Special configurations such as high-pressure, high-temperature, corrosion-resistant, and energy-saving systems are also available.
Compressed air is not directly in contact with food or drink
When compressed air is used for a cylinder to control the working condition of the power transfer mechanism, or other mechanical action, the compressed air does not directly contact food or drinks on it, so that this kind of compressed air quality requirements will not be too high. Compressed gas usually requires a pressure of 0.6MPa, depending on the size of production scale.
