Does your beverage manufacturing and packing business use compressed air for critical applications?
If so, are you aware of the relevant ISO standards your compressed air equipment needs to comply?
Compressed air is a versatile utility, that is widely used throughout beverage manufacturing industries. Some compressed air applications, however, are more critical than others – particularly when compressed air comes into direct contact with products intended for human consumption.
Air compressors work by drawing in ambient air at atmospheric conditions and compressing/storing it for use at a higher pressure. Ambient air is often contaminated with water vapour, dust, dirt and hydrocarbons to name but a few.
When compressed, the concentrations of these contaminants can rise above the levels considered safe for human consumption.
ISO 8573-1:2010
Compressed Air Contaminants and Purity Classes
ISO 8573-1:2010 Compressed Air Contaminants & Purity Classes is an international standard developed to specify purity classes of compressed air with respect to particles, water & oil contamination, independent of the location in the compressed air system at which the air is specified or measured.
