Compressed air is widely used in dairy plants, mainly in the following aspects:
1. production line equipment driver
- filling machine, packaging machine, mixer, blender, etc.: In the production process of dairy products, filling machines, packaging machines, mixers, mixers and other equipment need compressed air to drive their pneumatic components and pneumatic handling systems to ensure efficient and stable production of products.
2. cleaning and disinfection
- equipment and Tool Cleaning sterilization equipment, filling machines, pipes, containers, bottles and other tools and machines in the dairy factory need to be cleaned and discharged with high-pressure compressed air to remove dirt and bacteria and ensure the hygiene and safety of the equipment.
3. product processing
- injecting gas into milk in the production of milk products, compressed air can also be used to inject gas into milk to make drinks such as milk foam. By compressing the air into high-pressure gas and injecting it into the milk, the bubbles in the milk can be made smaller and more uniform, thereby improving the taste and quality of the milk.
4. Requirements for Compressed Air
- purity: In the dairy factory, the compressed air in direct contact with the product must be pure, oil-free, dry and odorless. The compressed air that is not in direct contact with the product must also be pure, dry, and preferably oil-free to avoid contamination of equipment and products.
- pressure and flow: The compressed air system in the dairy factory needs to provide stable air pressure and flow to meet the needs of different equipment. For example, when filling equipment is working, the flow and pressure of compressed air are closely related, and precise control is required to ensure product quality.
Management of 5. compressed air system
- purification treatment since the air may contain dust, rust, moisture, oil, microorganisms and other impurities, the compressed air system of the dairy factory needs to undergo multi-stage strict purification treatment to remove these impurities and ensure that the cleanliness of the compressed air meets the requirements of use.
- Monitoring and maintenance: Regularly monitor the parameters of the compressed air system, such as pressure, flow, temperature, etc., and carry out maintenance and maintenance in time to ensure the normal operation of the system and the stable supply of compressed air.
6. oil-free compressed air system
- importance: In the dairy and other food industries, the purity of compressed air is extremely high. Oil-containing compressed air may cause indirect contamination of dairy products and affect product quality. Therefore, more and more dairy plants choose to use oil-free compressed air systems.
- Implementation mode: Oil-free compressed air system can be realized by using oil-free air compressor, equipped with high-efficiency filtration system and regular maintenance and maintenance. At the same time, the existing oil-bearing compressed air system can also be upgraded to achieve oil-free.
In summary, compressed air is widely used in dairy factories and plays an important role in improving production efficiency, ensuring product quality and ensuring equipment hygiene and safety. Therefore, the dairy factory should pay attention to the management and maintenance of the compressed air system to ensure its normal operation and stable supply of compressed air.
