Complete compressed air systems for breweries and the craft brew industry

 

Your compressed air system is as important to your brewery's success as your recipe and the quality of your ingredients.

Air compressors are vital to several aspects of craft brew operations:

  • Aeration: introducing oxygen into the yeast cultures throughout the fermentation process
  • Clarifying: pressure-driven centrifuges remove heavier solids for a cleaner, clearer final product
  • Canning and bottling: compressed air moves beer from the conditioning tank to the bottle
  • Cleaning and maintenance: compressed air powers pressure washers which help maintain a clean and safe operation

 Some important factors to consider when selecting air compressors for your brewery:

  1. Energy efficiency: Energy costs are a significant portion of an air system's total cost. To select an energy-efficient compressor for your shop, check out the CAGI data sheets for the models you are evaluating for your brewery.
  2. Reliability: Unplanned downtime can hold up your bottling line or slow down your entire operation. 
  3. Space and noise: Many craft breweries don't have the square footage required for a dedicated compressor room and a noisy compressor can disturb customers in your pub or drive your brew master out of the brewery.

HPC KAESER compressed air products for the craft brew industry

  • Rotary screw compressors: HPC KAESER's rotary screw compressors with the world renowned Sigma Profile™ airend offer the best in rugged reliability and superior efficiency. Designed for ease of maintenance, delivering ultra-low noise levels, and consistently more efficient than the competition.
  • Compressor packages: HPC KAESER screw compressor packages integrate the compressor with controller, dryer, tank, and drain, into one compressed air system ready for installation. This is ideal where floor space is limited and their low noise levels provide even more flexibility. Air treatment components combat moisture, oil, and particulates to ensure a reliable supply of clean, dry air.
  • Compressed air treatment: Dirt, oil, and other impurities enter the compressor with atmospheric air and during the compression process. If not removed, these contaminants may cause costly production problems including equipment contamination and accelerated tool wear. HPC KAESER offers a complete line of air treatment products including dryers, filters, and drains to prepare compressed air for even the most stringent requirements

More and more compressed air users in the beer, wine, and distilling industries are trusting HPC KAESER's reliability for their compressed air needs. HPC KAESER's solutions use the latest in technology to improve uptime, reduce waste, cut energy costs, and simplify maintenance. The HPC KAESER family is proud to put its name on every product. 

  • Energy efficient operation that gives you more air, more savings 
  • Maintenance-friendly design with fewer wearing parts 
  • Premium quality materials with rugged reliability 
  • Super quiet operation for placement flexibility and versatility

 

Nitrogen generation

Nitrogen is critical to the beverage industries. It's used through the production, storage, and packaging processes to help protect beverage products such as beer from the undesirable effects of oxygen.

For smaller operations, generating their own nitrogen on-site makes a lot of sense, enabling them to save up to 90% in costs, compared to high pressure cylinders.

HPC has recently launched STAYFRESH its new nitrogen gas skid for SMEs in the food & beverage sector. A plug and play solution, it is designed for efficiency, cost savings and sustainability:
