Festo Air Preparation For Industrial Standards

Festo Systems Compressed Air Preparation

To uphold optimal process reliability and machine uptime, meticulous preparation of compressed air must be integrated into the initial planning stages of the system. A pristine compressed air source, free from particles, water, and oil, serves as a safeguard against pneumatic component malfunctions, prolongs component lifespan, and mitigates machine breakdowns and operational downtimes.

Festo maintenance units are the core of compressed air preparation solutions. They ensure the right compressed air quality and filter compressor oil, condensate and dirt particles from the air. Depending on the application, a service unit consists of a pressure regulator, various filters, a branch module and pressurization and exhaust valves. Various combinations are available and in stock at Festo. In addition, service units can be configured individually in the MS modular system.

Why Compressed Air Preparation So Important?

Raw compressed air is laden with contaminants, including particles, water, and oil, which can exist in various states—liquid or gaseous—within the system. These impurities never occur in isolation but form a complex mixture, the composition of which fluctuates throughout the system. For instance, water may accumulate in branch lines, while particles can amass in stagnant areas and later dislodge during pressure surges.

Every cubic meter of compressed air harbors millions of particles, along with substantial amounts of water, oil, and even heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and mercury. Failure to filter out these pollutants jeopardizes the sustained performance of system components and severely compromises product quality. Thus, meticulous preparation of compressed air is essential to mitigate machine failures, minimize downtime, and ensure both process and product reliability.

 

Clean Air Requirements

Compressed air must consistently meet cleanliness standards to prevent any operational disruptions or equipment damage. However, considering that each filtration step introduces flow resistance, it’s economically prudent to ensure compressed air cleanliness only to the extent necessary for its intended use. The diverse applications of compressed air necessitate varying levels of air quality, with higher quality air demanding multiple filtration stages.

ISO 8573 sets forth the cleanliness requirements for compressed air, delineating maximum allowable levels of solid particles, water, and oil content. Compliance with this standard has been obligatory for pneumatic automation since 2010, underscoring the importance of adhering to specific parameters for achieving energy-efficient compressed air preparation while meeting regulatory standards. Festo air preparation units and filters guarantee trouble-free function. You can find out which standard your application must comply with in our brochure “Reliable processes thanks to perfect compressed air preparation.”

Cheers to International Beer Day!

 

Raise your glasses and join the worldwide celebration of hops, malt, and yeast on International Beer Day! This annual event, observed on the first Friday of August, unites beer enthusiasts from every corner of the globe in a toast to the rich and diverse world of brewing. Whether you’re a connoisseur or just enjoy the occasional pint, International Beer Day is the perfect occasion to immerse yourself in the flavours, traditions, and social camaraderie that make beer an integral part of our culture.

As we raise our glasses to toast the occasion, it’s equally important to appreciate the intricate process that goes into brewing the perfect pint. Behind the scenes, breweries rely on advanced process instrumentation products to ensure precision, consistency, and quality throughout the brewing process.

Unraveling the Art of Beer-Making

Breweries may have variations in their processes, depending on their specific equipment, beer styles, and brewing techniques. However, the general process of making beer involves several key steps.

The brewing process initiates with malting, wherein grains are soaked in water, rested in a controlled environment of humidity and temperature, and allowed to germinate. Subsequently, the germinated grains are dried and crushed, resulting in malt.

Malt is then roasted at various temperatures and durations, yielding an array of color and flavor characteristics. Distinct beers necessitate varying quantities of multiple roasted malts to form the desired profile, known as a Grist. These grains are crushed similarly to rolled oats, and in some Ales, oats, rye, or wheat may also be added.

The grist is introduced to a “mash tun” with water, and the temperature is regulated to activate alpha-amylase and beta-amylase enzymes, which break down the starches into different sugars. The resulting liquid, called “sweet wort,” is drained off, and the grains may be rinsed or “sparged” to achieve the desired brix for the intended style.

The sweet wort is then transferred to the kettles and boiled while various hop varieties are added at different times to create the distinct flavour, aroma, and bitterness profile of the style.

Once the wort is no longer sweet but rather ready for fermentation, it is pumped through a chiller to rapidly decrease the temperature and transferred into fermentation tanks, where yeast is added. The yeast consumes the sugars, producing alcohol, esters, and gases, which can be vented off or collected for other uses. Maintaining precise temperature during fermentation is crucial to avoid spoiling the batch.

Following fermentation, the ales move to “bright” tanks where they are clarified and carbonated with compressed CO2.

The final step involves packaging the beer for distribution and consumption, which may include bottling, canning, or kegging, along with labeling and packaging design.

Compressed air preparation for maintaining high quality

In breweries, compressed air often serves as pilot air to control valves and cylinders. However, when used as process air, significantly higher levels of purity are necessary. Typical brewery applications include using compressed air for cleaning or drying bottles and cans during the filling process and for blowing out lines between batches. One particularly sensitive application is wort aeration, wherein compressed air is in contact with the product for an extended duration. In all these cases, the final quality of the beer is affected by the compressed air and the odours and particles it contains. Therefore, maintaining high-quality compressed air is crucial to ensure the integrity and taste of the brewed products.
