Application of compressed air in the F&B industry
From cleaning excess food waste from machinery to propelling materials along the assembly line, compressed air is the only reliable and cost-effective tool capable of supporting food packaging, food processing, transporting and more. In today’s manufacturing environment, compressed air finds extensive use:
1. Cleanliness and sanitation
Compressed air helps keep the containers and machinery clean by removing excess waste. By washing down tools and heavy machinery, the containers are kept clean before product filling. Compressed air also finds application in blowing off excess debris from used equipment.
2. Sorting, cutting and shaping food products
When raw materials enter a factory, compressed air is used to sort them out, based on weight. High pressure compressed air also helps to peel and slice fruits and vegetables.
3. Packaging products for shipping
Cold compressed air freezes products for shipping and retail. It helps create vacuum-sealed packaging which avoids damage, keeps goods intact and contamination-free.
