In the food industry, compressed air in direct contact with food, packaging or the production environment is subject to strict food grade quality index to ensure product safety and compliance. The following are the key indicators and requirements:
ISO 8573-1:2010 compressed air quality grade standard, food grade is usually required level 1 or higher.
International Food Standards IFS (International Food Standards), BRC (British Retail Standards), FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) guidelines.
Pharmacopoeia requirements: If used in the production of drugs or health products, it must comply with the relevant provisions of the European Pharmacopoeia or the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.
| Indicators | food grade requirements | detection method |
|---|---|---|
| solid particle | ≤ 0.1 μm(ISO Class 1), no visible oil/water | laser particle counter |
| moisture content | pressure dew point ≤ -40 ℃(no liquid water precipitation) | dew point meter |
| oil content | ≤ 0.01 mg/m³(ISO Class 1), recommended oil-free | oil vapor detector |
| total hydrocarbon content | ≤ 0.1 mg/m³(Avoid contamination of lubricating oil) | gas chromatography |
| Indicators | food grade requirements | detection method |
|---|---|---|
| total number of colonies | ≤ 100 CFU/m³(Some standards are more stringent) | agar plate culture method |
| mold/Yeast | ≤ 10 CFU/m³ | fungal selective medium |
| pathogenic bacteria | not to be detected(e. g. Salmonella, E. coli) | PCR or traditional culture |
| microbial control | it is recommended to install sterilization filter(0.2 μm aperture) | integrity testing (e. g. bubble point method) |
oil vapor residue: Use food Grade Synthetic Lubricant or oil-free compressors.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) regular testing, avoid the use of harmful substances such as benzene, chlorine and other consumables.
Smell: Sensory evaluation is required to ensure no odor.
temperature: It is recommended that the compressed air temperature ≤ ambient temperature +10 ℃ to prevent condensation water.
Relative humidity after drying, the relative humidity is less than or equal to 35%, which inhibits the reproduction of microorganisms.
regular inspection: Entrust a third-party laboratory to conduct all-item testing quarterly or semi-annually.
online monitoring: Install dew point meter and oil content detector for real-time warning.
Record keeping compliance with HACCP or ISO 22000 traceability requirements.
three-stage filtration pre-filtration (5 μm)+ precision filtration (1 μm)+ sterilizing filtration (0.2 μm).
Drying system freeze dryer or adsorption dryer (pressure dew point ≤-40 ℃).
oil-free lubrication: Adopt food grade synthetic lubricating oil or ceramic bearing.
food-grade compressed air needs to meet both physical cleanliness, chemical safety, microbiological control three requirements, through equipment selection, post-processing system and strict monitoring to achieve. Enterprises should select corresponding standards according to specific application scenarios (such as direct contact with food, packaging, and laboratories), and ensure that the entire process meets regulatory requirements.
The selection of air compressor according to air consumption is a comprehensive decision-making process, which needs to be combined with factors such as air demand, pressure requirements, equipment characteristics and future expansibility. The following is a detailed selection guide: 1. core selection principle gas volume matching calculation formula: demand gas volume = total equipment
Air supply pressure and air consumption of air compressor are important parameters to measure its performance and application range. The air supply pressure refers to the pressure of the compressed air output by the air compressor, while the air consumption refers to the amount of air consumed by the air compressor or the amount of compressed air generated per unit time.
The main reasons for the large amount of moisture produced by air compressors are as follows: 1. air humidity and air humidity during compression: the air itself contains a certain amount of water molecules, especially in an environment with high humidity. The moisture content in the air is higher. When this
Whether the air compressor needs to work 24 hours depends on the specific application requirements and working scenarios. Some application scenarios require a continuous supply of compressed air, which requires the air compressor to run 24 hours a day. For example, some production lines, processes or medical
The operating technical requirements of air compression systems in semiconductor factories are extremely strict. These requirements are designed to ensure that the quality of compressed air meets the high standards in the semiconductor production process. The following is a detailed summary of the technical requirements for the operation of the air compression system in the semiconductor factory: 1.
An air compressor is a machine that compresses air into high-pressure gas. By compressing a large amount of air into a closed space, the pressure and density of the air are increased, so that the air can be stored and used more effectively. Extensive air compressor
If the air compressor has been working without proper rest and maintenance, it may cause a series of problems. The following are possible situations: overheating: continuous work will make the temperature inside the air compressor continue to rise, if there is not enough cooling measures, may lead
Q: What enterprises need air compressor equipment? A: Textile, electronics, chemical, machinery, processing, oil, food, medicine and other air compressor equipment application range is too wide, almost all of our life in the production of products have air compressor equipment
Answer: 5-10 years, good enough maintenance can be used for a longer time. What affects the service life of the oil-free air compressor lies in its maintenance. The routine maintenance of the water-lubricated air compressor produced by Shanghai Granklin Group is to replace the water filter.
In terms of brand selection of power frequency air compressors, there are many well-known brands in the market, such as Shanghai Granklin Group. These brands have advanced production technology and rich experience, and can provide high-quality power frequency air compressors. About Shanghai Granklin Set
