Beko supplies food-grade compressed air to Ritter
A
Beko Technologies product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team
Sep 3, 2009
Alfred Ritter and Co KG, Waldenbuch, Germany, which makes the Ritter Sport chocolate products, approached Beko when it needed to improve compressed-air quality to optimise production processes.
The safest way to prevent clumping in Ritter's conveyor pipes and microbial growth in the product, is compressed air, which is processed to a pressure dew point of -40C.
Therefore, an adsorption dryer was the central component of the system.
The central module in the system fitted by Beko is a heat-regenerated adsorption dryer of the Everdry FRA-V 3400 C type.
The function of the FRA-V series requires no compressed air, either for the desorption process nor for subsequent cooling of the heated desiccant (Zero Purge).
Therefore, 100 per cent of the compressed-air volume flow at the inlet of the system is available for the application.
The system implemented by Beko contained the following components: a Clearpoint pre-filter with a Bekomat 14 condensate drain; an Everdry FRA-V 3400 C heat-regenerated adsorption dryer; a water-cooled heat exchanger for the pre-reduction of the compressed-air temperature; an Eversorp EC 2600 oil-vapour adsorber to ensure the required freedom from oil contamination; a Clearpoint after filter for the separation of particles; and sterile filtration prior to introduction into the compressed-air system.
Beko technology permanently monitors the residual oil content in the compressed air.
