1.Use oil-free air compressors: Traditional oil-lubricated air compressors may introduce oil molecules into the compressed air, which can contaminate the beer, affecting its taste and safety. Therefore, an oil-free air compressor, such as an oil-free piston compressor or scroll compressor, should be used to avoid oil contamination.
2.Cleaning and drying of compressed air: Compressed air must be filtered and dried to remove possible moisture and impurities. This helps prevent the growth and multiplication of microorganisms during the beer production process.
3.Regular inspection and maintenance: Regular inspection and maintenance of air compressors and compressed air systems to ensure that the systems are operating well, that there are no leaks, and that the compressed air quality meets food safety standards.
4.Control of the fermentation process: During the beer fermentation process, air compressors are used to provide precisely controlled oxygen to promote the growth and metabolism of yeast. It must be ensured that the compressed air supplied to the fermenter is sterile to prevent contamination by miscellaneous bacteria.
5.Hygiene of the filling process: During the filling process of beer, oil-free, dry compressed air is used to propel the beer from the fermentation tank to the filling line, ensuring the hygienic safety of the filling process.
6.Cleaning of equipment and pipelines: Use oil-free compressed air for cleaning and disinfection of equipment and pipelines to prevent cross-contamination of microorganisms in the production process.
Through these measures, the air compressor can effectively ensure the hygiene and safety of beer throughout the production process, so as to produce high-quality beer products.
