CLASS 0 zero-oil-free compressed air systems for the food and beverage industry ensure a quality, safe end product with low life cycle costs。

First, end-to-end solutions

Whether used for sorting and dispensing, mixing, aerating materials or filling and filling products, compressed air for food and beverage applications must be absolutely clean。Oil-free compressors guarantee the purity of the air and eliminate any possible airborne pollution。

Clean air that meets high industry standards

Atlas Copco has set the standard for non-polluting compressed air in the food and beverage industry, and your trusted portfolio of oil-free air compressors has been awarded ISO 8573-1 (2010) Level Zero Air Certification (certified by TUV Rheinland)。Our compressors produce food and beverage air free of oily suspensions and vapors, protecting your production operations。

Reliability and efficiency

Reduce life cycle costs, cut production costs, improve profit margins, and reduce your cost of ownership with compression and drying technology。

The application of compressed air in the food and beverage industry

Automatic air source

In automated filling, packaging and bottling lines, compressed air is used to control valves and actuators。With oil-free compressed air, the components of automatic equipment can be prevented from clogging and the safety of the end product can be guaranteed。

运输

Compressed air is used to push milk powder or cocoa powder along the pipe。With oil-free air, oil contaminants can be prevented from mixing with the powder, thus maintaining the purity of the powder。

Air cleaning

Use compressed air to clean bottles, packages and molds before filling。In addition to being a health risk, oils in compressed air can contaminate food containers and alter the flavor and odor of end products。

Purge and aerate

Compressed air can be pumped into a liquid to increase oxygen content。Examples include the use of compressed air in fish farming to oxygenate the underlying water and/or oxidize sediment。Oil pollutants in the air can kill fish and other animals。

发酵

During fermentation, which is used to produce food ingredients such as citric acid, red wine and yogurt, compressed air provides oxygen to bacteria。Even a small amount of oil will affect bacterial activity, produce defective products and contaminate end products。

Food storage

In the air separation process, compressed air is separated into oxygen and nitrogen。Nitrogen can then preserve canned food as well as food stored in large storage facilities and transported by sea。Since nitrogen is in direct contact with food, the gas must be oil-free。Oil can damage the pressure-swing adsorption nitrogen plant (PSA) diaphragm, and the cost of replacing the diaphragm is very high。

Cooling and spraying

Compressed air can also be used to cool freshly baked goods。Pollutants in the air can contaminate end products, resulting in product obsolescence and production losses。
