Food & Beverage

Industrial gases contribute immeasurably to the quality and consumer enjoyment of today's food supply. Gases and liquids play a role in carbonation, hydrogenation, flash-freezing, and fish farming. AMCS ULTRA Series^® plants give food producers and industrial gas suppliers the on-site capability to generate the gases and liquids this industry needs in the quantities they require and of a quality that adheres to all FDA specifications and regulations.

Applications:

Aquaculture
Food chilling
Food freezing
Inerting/purging

Gas and Liquid:

Nitrogen
Oxygen
Carbon dioxide

Application Examples:

Nitrogen, specific to Inerting and Purging in the Food and Beverage facilities, is used to:
- ensure fire safety and pest control in corn and powdered food silos
- preserve powdered or fatty food during the filling, packing and storing process
- protect liquid food from oxidation during storing and filling
- ensure controlled ripening of stored food
- stabilize the internal pressure of thin-walled beverage cans
Nitrogen, specific to Cooling, Preserving and Deep Freezing in the Food facilities, is used for:
- Cryogenic plants in cold stores for emergency cooling
- Refrigerated feed and mills for cryogenic grinding of spices
- Flash freezing of food such as fish, meat or bakery products
  - Cooling food during
  - Mixing
  - Chopping
  - Tumbling (coating of meats)
Oxygen, specific to dissolution in water by replacing air in the aquaculture arena is used to:
- Enhance dissolution in water for fish farms
Carbon Dioxide, is used for:
- carbonation of soft drinks, wine and beer products
