Production facilities in the food and beverage industry depend on compressed air systems to perform critical tasks, such as for moving particulates (powdered milk or cocoa powder) through pipes. Food grade compressed air is also used to control the valves found in automated lines that fill, package and bottle various food and beverage products. Compressed air can be used in the fermentation process for foods such as yogurt and wine. The modern food and beverage industry would not exist without the power of food-safe compressed air behind it. CAM Technologies is proud of the role we play in providing compressed air control services for the food and beverage industry. Our in-house design and manufacturing capabilities allow us to create custom systems that live up to the standards for compressed air in the food industry.
Applications of Compressed Air in Food & Beverage
Some of the many uses for compressed air systems within food production facilities include:
- Powering automated filling, bottling and packaging lines for cans, cartons and bottles
- Supporting fermentation processes for beer, wine and yogurt products
- Maintaining food safety by providing clean, dry air for food-contact applications to prevent contamination
- Meeting FDA/ISO standards for compressed air quality and maintaining compliance
CAM Technologies brings a wealth of expertise in meeting these needs and more with custom-engineered systems that meet even the most stringent compressed air standards.
