Application of Compressed Air in Food Production

In the field of food processing, companies have very high requirements for oil-free screw air compressors, and they value the safety and stability of water-lubricated oil-free screw air compressors. This has become a competition for oil-free screw air compressors.

Applications of oil-free screw air compressors in the food industry

This article will talk about two applications of oil-free screw air compressors in the food industry-air source device and starter. The following is a simple analysis of these two applications:

1. Air source device

It is to use oil-free screw air compressor to continuously provide enterprises with high-quality compressed gas in direct contact with food and beverage (the so-called indirect contact means that compressed air is not in direct contact with food and beverage, but Contact with food or beverages through other media, such as cans, cleaning of beverage bottles and filling of beverages, etc.). Although it is said that there is no direct contact with food at this time, the quality of compressed gas is also very high (the standard is almost equal to that of the oxygen generator for compressed gas). For this type of application, the exhaust pressure of compressed gas is about 0.5-0.6 MPa.

2. Pneumatic device

This is well understood, that is, the oil-free screw air compressor is regarded as a kind of power equipment (similar to diesel engines, electric motors, etc.), and the compressed gas discharged from it with a certain pressure is used to promote the operation of subsequent equipment. The compressed gas at this time is generally not in direct contact with food and beverages, so the quality of compressed gas is not very high (some companies even use micro-oil air compressors instead). For this type of application, the exhaust pressure of compressed gas is about 0.06MPa, and the gas consumption is generally determined according to the size of the production scale.
