Air Compressor Application in Food and beverage Industry

Pipeline liquid

Milk, soy sauce, purified water, carbonated drinks, beer and rice wine, etc.

During fermentation:

Agitation of liquids; introduction of air to increase oxygen content.Such as: beer, rice wine, soy sauce and vinegar, etc.

Mixing/stirring in batching processes:

Mixing/stirring in batching processes are usually performed using compressed air, but nitrogen, carbon dioxide and other inert gases are also used.

Aerated Carbonated Beverages:

This process involves the introduction of CO2 into the soda machine via a CO2 canister or keg. Low pressure CO2 is forced through an air pump and the resulting pressurized CO2 is mixed with water and flavoring to create carbonated beverages.

Air stretching:

PET bottle production.

Conveyor drive:

Such as the slaughter industry.

Aseptic packaging:

As a packaging material for high-end products, it is widely used in the meat industry, such as the blowing offing pork, raspy and other in packing process;

In the beer filtration process, air pressure is used to expel the mash and so on.

Extrusion material:

Extrusion material widely used in the food industry, such as filter, extruded sponge, extruded sugar syrup. Also widely used in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Be used for actuating the piston of an injection molding machine, generating linear motion.

Inflatable packaging:

The inflatable packaging is suitable for packing low-vacuum products, such as garments and supplies.

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:

1. 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 air compressor

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.

Dry Oil-free Rotary Screw Air 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.

Air Dryer

Nanxiang provides you with three types of dryers, including refrigerated dryer standard model (low temperature and high temperature type), water cooling standard model (low temperature and high temperature type), special model (high temperature, high pressure, low pressure, deep cold, explosion-proof and so on) are included. The processing capacity is from 1.7 cubic meters per min to 500 cubic meters per min; air system has stainless steel outer tube body and aluminum outer tube body. It can also customize all kinds of special requirements to filter compressed air containing water, oil and particles

2. 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.

Low Pressure One Stage Variable Speed Rotary Screw Air Compressor

Permanent magnet frequency conversion screw compressors can meet the above-mentioned compressed air requirements when the compressed air does not directly contact with food/beverage. It can achieve maximum energy saving while ensuring long-term stable gas supply.ses high-efficiency permanent magnet motors, imported bearings, IP54 protection grades, F insulation grades, and meets the latest national standard GB18 613/2013, with an average output efficiency of about 4%. Compared with ordinary three-phase asynchronous motors, it saves energy by about 6-7%. It also adopts a new generation single line main engine, separated shaft structure, compact and stable, and high energy efficiency.

Customer Cases in Food and beverage Industry

The Jiangsu Food Co., Ltd. specializes in high-protein, low-fat and other healthy food products. It produces a variety of bakery products, convenience foods, meat products, fish and shellfish products, water beverages, bean paste foods and so on more than 10 production units.

The company has purchased 2 units of Nanxiang lubricated air compressor with total immersion rotary axial compressor as well as post treatment equipment.
