MEETING AIR PURITY DEMANDS T


he food and beverage production environment demands the highest


quality air purity. Most sites will follow the recognised principles of the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) to ensure they are complying with hygiene legislation for compressed air, removing any potential hazards or reducing these to an acceptable level. However, unlike compressed air


applications where there is rigorous standards that dictate the quality and specification of air used during the process, there are no current standards in place for exhaust air quality from vacuum pumps. For sensitive production environments a contaminated pump exhaust can be hazardous and as a result, this equipment should be included within a facilities’ HACCP assessment. Indeed, the majority of vacuum pumps currently in use are oil-lubricated and many applications will operate without any problems arising. Nevertheless, there is


the potential risk of oil discharging from the exhaust of this type of pump yet for such a sensitive manufacturing environment it may make sense to implement an oil-free model. Oil-free vacuum pumps have been specifically developed to meet the needs of manufacturers that require only the highest air purity environments. In short, these do not require the same level of maintenance as oil-lubricated models as there is clearly no need to replace the oil or filters, which contribute to higher operating costs over a pump’s lifetime. Another clear advantage to an oil-free


Liam Quinn, managing director of Team Air Power and Gardner Denver distributor outlines how best to ensure air purity in a food and beverage manufacturing environment


vacuum pump is that it does not have to be removed to carry out essential maintenance servicing, resulting in no equipment downtime or associated costs, from oil, waste oil disposal or labour.
