Quality compressed air for your food production
Removing harmful contaminants and excess moisture is of vital importance for food industry manufacturers . Pneumatech air treatment products have been designed to deliver quality air standard that is required for their needs . With food grade filters and dryers compatible with compressed air quality standard ISO 8573-1:2010 , food manufacturers can now take control of their air quality and tackle the risks of cross-contamination .
Compressed air filtration for food industry
Contaminants are bound to creep in and develop in any compressed air system used for food production . Air contamination can develop at various stages during the manufacturing cycle :
• The atmosphere : The ambient air that is pulled in by the compressor contains particulate matter , water and oil vapour or micro-organisms .
• Air compressor : The compression process can add its own contaminants , notably oil vapour , oil aerosols , and liquid oil .
• Air receiver and piping : The accumulated contaminants from the earlier stages inevitably end up in the receiver as well as the distribution piping . This can lead to the growth of micro-organisms ; the resulting chemical reactions can cause pipe scale and rust .
Pneumatech has developed a series of air filters to ensure the quality of compressed air used in food production including :
• Coalescing filters screening out oil aerosols and wet particulates
• Dust removal filters removing dry particulate
Pneumatech products can ensure your Compressed Air System is fully compliant with the HACCP process to achieve Food & Beverage Grade Compressed Air .
• Adsorption activated carbon filters removing oil vapour
Dried air supporting your food production processes
Creating clean , dry , and high-quality air is of paramount importance in the food industry . Compressed air is used anywhere from the packaging systems , mixing , cutting , and drying of ingredients , to transportation and propulsion of food .
All these operations bring compressed air into contact with the product either directly or indirectly and must adhere to strict quality standards .
Pneumatech has developed a series of ISO 8573-1:2010 certified air treatment solutions for food manufacturers to tackle these challenges and help them improve the quality and crosscontamination issues .
Leading safety guidelines concur on the need to remove moisture wherever possible . This typically means maintaining a pressure dew point of at least -26 ° C / -15 ° F ( to limit microbial growth ). Filtration with a minimum DOP efficiency of 99.999 % should be set up at every point where the air might affect the product .
When removing water and moisture from the air , Pneumatech offers a variety of adsorption dryers that to suit various sizes of food production businesses . Pneumatech products can ensure the Compressed Air System is fully compliant with the HACCP Process to Achieve Food & Beverage Grade Compressed Air .
For smaller users the PH 45-690 HE is perfect raising the bar in efficiency , reliability , low maintenance and versatility . Thanks to its ground breaking structured desiccant , Pneumatech ’ s PH 45-690 HE adsorption dryer offers unprecedented benefits and the lowest cost of ownership . It is the most efficient dryer available on the market today with an optimal , even air flow and low pressure drop .
Because structured desiccant decays at a much slower rate than desiccant beads , the PH HE ’ s service intervals are 40 % longer . The desiccant blocks also make maintenance much faster and easier .
For larger users the PB 210-635 HE is a great choice using its heated blower purge to remove moisture from the desiccant material .
