Application Notes
Compressed air is used for bottle blowing, conveying, mixing, filling, packaging, equipment cleaning, and other processes in food and beverage production. If compressed air may contact food, packaging materials, or process media, greater attention should be paid to controlling risks from oil, water, particulates, and microorganisms.
Air-quality requirements vary significantly by process. System design should select appropriate compression and air-treatment solutions based on the type of contact, production environment, point-of-use pressure, and hygiene requirements, with regular inspection and maintenance procedures.
Selection & Operating Considerations
- Classify compressed air by whether it directly contacts food or packaging materials, and configure compression and air-treatment equipment accordingly.
- Bottle blowing, conveying, and filling stations have different air-demand characteristics; instantaneous flow, pressure, and air-storage requirements should be calculated separately.
- Establish periodic inspection procedures for filters, drying equipment, drainage, and air quality to keep system condition traceable.
