Leading industrial products and solutions company Atlas Copco New Zealand is setting the standard in purity and quality when it comes to air compressors – particularly within the food and beverage industry.


In order to ensure total hygiene and eliminate contamination during food and beverage preparation, there can be no compromise on the quality of the air compressor equipment used – something the team at Atlas Copco New Zealand is well aware of.


“Whether for sorting and ejecting, mixing, aerating substances, or inflating and stuffing products, compressed air for food and beverage applications must be absolutely clean and free of contamination,” says Managing Director at Atlas Copco New Zealand, Yuri Reijmer.


“Only oil-free compressors can guarantee absolute air purity, and eliminate any chance of air-based contamination – one hundred per cent clean and safe.”


Atlas Copco are the first compressor manufacturer to be awarded ISO 22000 certification – the highest current global Food and Beverage quality standard. The company’s work on the production of compressed air that is entirely free of aerosols and vapours was performed with specific goals in mind; to minimise downtime, maximise productivity and protect the reputation of the Food and Beverage industry.
“The company continues to push the boundaries in performance – we were first to integrate Variable Speed Drive, oil free screw technology and rotary drum technology,” Yuri says.


With the standards of packaging for food and drink around the world ever increasing, compressed air is now widely used to ensure sterility, resulting in thousands of Atlas Copco installations with many of the largest food and beverage companies in the world.


“Compressed air is used to control the valves and actuators in automated lines for filling, packaging and bottling. With oil-free compressed air, you prevent your automation components from jamming and keep your end product safe,” Yuri explains.


Oil-free air is essential for moving milk powder through pipes, cleaning bottles and packaging, aerating water and other liquids, and during fermentation, all the while keeping the materials entirely devoid of adulteration.
