Industry has breath of sterilised compressed air

01-Jan-2012

Compressed air products and pneumatic process systems specialist, Thorite has refined the selection of sterilisation filter systems that it supplies to the food and drink process and packaging industries.

Compressed air often carries a variety of contaminants, including particles, oil aerosols and oil vapour. If these remain present in food packaging it reduces shelf-life.

Thorite has focused on assessing improved sterilisation systems from leading world-class manufacturers.

The latest technology can now ensure total sterilisation at the point of use, usually by combining a desiccant drier with the most suitable filtration system. This completely removes any oil traces, plus the capture of a range of microbiological hazards. The filters are easily cleaned by autoclaving or back-flush steam treatment.

These improved standards of compressed air filtration enable Thorite to provide the food industry with systems compliant with all food regulation legislation and codes of practice, while maximising food product performance in terms of freshness and visual appeal.
