Core Applications
In beverage production, compressors ensure carbonation consistency and hygiene:
Carbonation & Bottling: Oil-free CO₂ compressors carbonate beverages and purge oxygen from bottles during filling, critical for beer and soft drinks. For example, Atlas Copco’s systems reduce CO₂ consumption by pre-flushing bottles with compressed air.
PET Bottle Blowing: High-pressure oil-free air (up to 40 bar) shapes preforms into bottles without contaminating plastic.
Nitrogen Generation: Compressed air feeds nitrogen generators for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), extending shelf life for juices and craft beers.
Sustainability & Cost Savings:
Variable Speed Drive (VSD) compressors cut energy use by 30% in bottling lines, aligning with EU carbon reduction goals.
Case Study: Muller Dairy reduced heating costs by 60% using energy recovery from compressor systems.
