What are the requirements of light industry for air compressors

The application industry of air compressors is very wide, which can be said to be all walks of life, but it is worth mentioning that different industries have different requirements for air compressors. Let's introduce the requirements of light industry for air compressors!

1. Food and beverage: Divided into non-contact, indirect contact and direct contact. Non-contact: The gas source can be provided by a non-oil water lubricated screw air compressor, such as the cleaning of locust pull cans and beverage bottles. Direct contact: such as raw material stirring, fermentation, etc. , The oil content is very high, and the compressed air must be deodorized.

　　2. Pharmaceutical industry: non-contact is mainly used for power execution and instrument air, direct contact is mainly for conveying granular products, and drying of medicine bottles requires high air quality. Oil-free water lubricated screw air compressors can be used.

　　3. Cigarette industry: Compressed air is the main power source besides electricity. It is generally used for wire injection machine equipment, cigarette rolling, connecting and packaging equipment, and also used for instruments, power execution, and equipment cleaning.

　　4. Rubber and plastic products: mainly used for power execution and instrument gas.

　　 A detailed description of the application of air compressors in the light industry, mainly food and beverage

　　The scope of light industry is too large, and we can't analyze and discuss every industry. Here we will focus on food and beverage to explain, and simply analyze the application of compressed air in this industry. We can briefly introduce it in two parts.

　　 First, let’s introduce the category where compressed air does not come into contact with food or beverages. This type of compressed air is mainly used in mechanical actions such as power actuators, control cylinders, etc. The compressed air is generally not in direct contact with food or beverages, so the quality requirements of this type of compressed air are not very high, and the pressure of compressed air is generally required to be 0.6 About Mpa, the gas consumption can be determined according to the scale of production.

　　 Next, let’s introduce this type of compressed air that comes into direct contact with food or beverages. Such as cans, beverage bottles, etc. Although compressed air does not directly contact food or beverages, the requirements for compressed air are also high. The discharge pressure of compressed air is generally about 0.5-0.6Mpa. Finally, we will introduce the requirements of compressed air systems in direct contact with food or beverages. Generally, this type of compressed air is mainly used in a series of production processes such as mixing and fermentation of raw materials. Here the compressed air is sterilized and deodorized. An oil-free screw air compressor is usually used as the air source, and then the compressed air is properly post-processed. In addition to the sterilization filter, the post-processing equipment also needs to be equipped with a precision filter to prevent accidents.

　　 In addition, consideration is also given to the selection of pipeline materials. Generally, stainless steel pipes can be used for the pipelines of the compressed air system after the post-processing equipment to reduce the impurities in the compressed air.

　　 Food and beverages have a common feature-that is, something for people to eat. Therefore, we should pay attention to the edible problem when choosing an air compressor, which means that the quality of the compressed air is better, especially the oil content of the compressed air is very small.

But in fact, the requirements for compressed air in food or beverage factories are not all the same. We can roughly divide it into two parts: one part is where compressed air is in contact with food or beverage; the other part is where compressed air is not in contact with food or beverage. Drink contact.

Food and beverages are an indispensable part of people’s lives, and with the improvement of people’s quality of life, the quality requirements for food and beverages are getting higher and higher, and the demand is also increasing. Similarly, manufacturers of food and beverages are also With more and more, the demand for air compressors also increases.

　　Food hygiene is directly related to our life safety, so we must be cautious about air compressors used in the food industry. Maintaining food hygiene and quality is the most important thing.
