Clean air is just as important as clean equipment in food and beverage operations

Regulators are strict, and product recalls are expensive, so food and beverage operators make it a priority to thoroughly wash down their process equipment. But what about your compressed air supply? It should be as pure as possible to avoid being a source of contaminants. It can be with the right air preparation system. Upgrading air preparation as part of a food-safety review of your entire pneumatic system is one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways of meeting cGMP and FSMA guidelines. You have questions, Festo has answers. It's all in our new whitepaper on compressed air safety in food and beverage production. How to identify potential contamination points from compressed air leakage, which main components to choose, and which tubing and fittings lower your risk.

As a bonus, an air preparation unit like Festo's MSE6-E2M also can improve your energy efficiency by detecting leaks you didn't even know you had, shaving thousands of dollars off your annual hydro bill. The MSE6-E2M optimizes your compressed air performance. Equipped with measurement, control and diagnostic functions, this module automatically monitors and regulates the air supply. And the MSE6-E2M can be connected to the cloud via a Festo CPX/IOT gateway to help you identify long-term consumption patterns for predictive maintenance and trouble-shooting purposes.
