Air quality is a critical factor in food and beverage production. Clean air in processing environments requires efficient systems and advanced technology. Cleaner operations at every step, from ingredient handling to packaging to waste streams, ensure safer and more sustainable production.
Dustex, Geoenergy, and Western Pneumatics are now part of ANDRITZ. Together, we are your partner for cleaner air and innovative production solutions. Keep reading to learn more about driving clean air in food and beverage processing.
Food and Beverage Processing
ANDRITZ is your partner for clean air and clean processes in the food and beverage industry.
Clean air is essential to efficient operations, meeting regulatory requirements, and ensuring safe production environments. For over 100 years, ANDRITZ has developed and provided technologies that contribute to cleaner air and processing in food and beverage plants.
Potato Fryers
Potato production can be a dirty, sticky, and dusty process with tasty results. While residents in states of processing facilities may like the results, they do not want to deal with the gases, dust, and smells.
In potato processing, potato fryers are huge frying pans where tons and tons of potatoes are fried per hour. The resulting gases are very sticky and oily. A wet electrostatic precipitator (wet ESP) or ESP) handles wet and sticky dusts.
The Geoenergy E-Tube® wet ESP system is a state-of-the-art air pollution control device. It features a round collecting tube design, which improves electric field strength and provides optimal performance. The external tube cooling system lessens water consumption and ensures cleaner collection tube walls. The E-Tube® wet ESP features Star II™ electrodes with a unique shape that drives efficiency with a reduced footprint. Our Sphere™ adjustment hardware simplifies maintenance and electrode adjustment with its one-bolt design. Wet ESPs have no barriers to gas flow, operate with low pressure drop, and are typically designed for 90% to 99% removal efficiency.
