Deciding when—and how—to use oil-free compressors and oil-flooded compressors is essential for optimizing operations in the food and beverage industry.
The food and beverage industry relies on compressed air across a wide range of applications, from moving raw materials and powering mixers to wrapping finished products and packaging them for shipping.
In the most sensitive applications, food-processing companies must comply with FDA regulations. And meet ISO 8573-1 international standards, staying below 0.01 PPM (Class 0). With particle counts below 100 PPM.
Beyond those super-sensitive, Class 0 applications, however, a food-processing plant has a wide range of additional uses for compressed air. And it’s a challenge for a single compressor, or even a single system, to cover that range efficiently.
