Compressed air quality
ensures good quality food!
The quick and clean way

for safe food production:
Service unit combinations

MS-series modules

the MS-series
Consistent modularity and a
winning design put the MS-series
in a class of its own. Combined
with a wealth of functionalities
and air qualities, the only thing
for you to define is the desired
compressed air quality.
However, Festo offers far more

than just quality components.
Festo means all-round support
with Industrial Services.
For example, for all those users
who cannot find a suitable
combination here because their
requirements are too specific:
the configurator in our electronic
catalogue:
http://www.festo.com/catalogue
Different systems require

different compressed air
qualities and flow rates.
Special functions and a designoptimised environment are the
ideal application area for the
MS-series. Flow values of 700
to 5100 l/min meet virtually
any challenge.
Why the need for compressed air preparation?
Air is not always as clean as it

appears to be! Particularly when
used in the food and packaging
industry, a further important
point needs to be considered
since, as part of an HACCP audit,
compressed air also comes under
the scrutinity of the certificating
authority!
Air humidity and condensation:
Oil contamination:
Dirt and rust particles:
The maximum water absorption

capacity of air greatly depends
on temperature, irrespective of
pressure. The volume of air
absorbed is specified in g per m3.
With increasing temperature,
the quantity of water absorbed
increases. Conversely, large
quantities of water are released
if the temperature cools down.
This leads to corrosion and
damage in the compressed air
system and on the components
connected. The use of compressed air dryers eliminates such
problems from the outset. In
addition to this, the use of a
compressed air dryer is recommended for the processing of
dried food.
Even if oil-free compressors are

used, oil particles are drawn in
from the ambient air. Since this
oil is generally not specifically
intended for the lubrication of
pneumatic components, there
is a risk of damage to delicate
components and in a worst case
scenario the contamination of
food.
Solid particles occur in the form

of dust (carbon, rust particles )
and are present at build-up
points. Coastal areas are
generally less dusty, but instead
are subject to salt particles from
evaporated sea water droplets.
Dust is divided into the following
categories:
Coarse dust (> 10 m),
fine dust (1 10 m)
and superfine dust (< 1 m).
Compressed air qualities in the food

and packaging industry
A simple rule of thumb applies

for the definition of compressed
air quality in the food and packaging industry:
The compressed air must
be so clean as to damage neither
the product or in the worst case
scenario, the consumer.
Compressed air quality is

generally categorised into the
following quality classes in
accordance with DIN ISO 8573-1:
The following applications have

particularly high requirements
regarding compressed air in the
food and packaging industry:
1. Quality class of solid

contamination
Non dried foods
2. Quality class for water content

3. Quality class for overall
oil content
Compressed air comes into

direct contact with non dried
foods (e.g. drinks, meat,
vegetables etc.)
Compressed air is used for
transporting, mixing or for the
production of food in general
and is therefore in direct contact
with food.

This recommendation applies to all air compressors, regardless of compression method or mechanical design.
Packaging machines
Compressed air comes into
direct contact with packaging
materials which are subsequently
filled with food. The packaging
material therefore becomes part
of the food zone.
For both instances the following
classification applies for
compressed air quality in
accordance with DIN ISO 8573-1:
Dust:
Water:
Oil:
Class 1
Class 4
Class 1
Examples of predefined service units ex stock
Dried foods
Maximum possible safety
Compressed air comes into direct

contact with dried foods
Compliance with the compressed

air qualities listed here is
imperative in order to ensure
the maximum possible safety of
food and to protect the health of
the consumer true to the motto
of food producers: Protecting
the brand!
Compressed air is used for the

transporting, mixing or for the
production of food in general
and therefore comes into direct
contact with foodstuffs. However,
in this case even more stringent
requirements apply since air
humidity plays a major role!
For such applications the
following classifications in
accordance with DIN ISO 8573-1
should be considered:
Dust:
Class 1
Water: Class 2
Oil:
Class 1
If compressed air quality 1.2.1

is required, we recommend the
use of compressed air quality
1.4.1 generated with the aid of
one of the combinations of
devices described here, using
the Festo adsorption dryer
type LDF for drying. The dryer
should be interconnected downstream of the filter regulator LFR
or branching module FRM and
upstream of the microfilters.

non dried foodstuffs:
