The Yeast Fermentation process gain more benefit with screw blower machine

If you are involved with the food and beverage industry, you might know some processes and steps that low-pressure compressors or blowers support yeast production for wine, beer, bread, yeast, and some cosmetics industries.

How can you find "Yeast" in your daily life?

  1. Yeast is broadly categorized into bakery, brewer, wine, and feed based on its type.
  2. Yeast for cooking: cream yeast, fresh yeast, instant yeast. 
  3. The food industry uses yeast for alcoholic beverages, life stock farming and the cosmetics industry.

When we discuss the food and beverage industry, we always say 100% oil-free compressor to guarantee your brand reputation and the end customer health. 

Does anyone know the yeast fermentation process?

45-55% of the power consumption of the plant

In yeast fermentation process cycle has fluctuated pressure and flow requirements. The process of delivering oxygen to the stock yeast needs an oil-free low-pressure air supply continuous to the point of use. 

 

On the way to the fermentation vessel, the entire product batch fails if the airflow gets interrupted. Therefore, they need to eliminate all sets that will affect the critical issue of production loss and financial penalties.

 

Some of the factories replace the lobe blower machine with a rotary screw blower technology from Atlas Copco because they are known and get some experiencing of reliability and 100% oil-free Class 0 certified.

What is the benefits of a rotary screw blower for yeast fermentation?

· Dedicated blowers for individual fermenters (no standard header) • Multiple units per fermenter • No pressure overshoot • Perfect control • Each unit is operating in SER sweet spot • Better process flexibility for the customer • Back-up available

Many factories are reliable on the equipment that is easy to install and capable of functioning straight from the box. The design of Atlas Copco's ZS rotary screw blower offers the impress of quality, inherent reliability, and integrated design.

 

To prove our product, qualify the customer needs Atlas Copco ZS oil-free, positive displacement rotary screw blower has installed on-site as a support unit to conventional lobe type blower. During the twelve months of testing period for our customer to evaluate the machine reliability and energy efficiency.

 

Our customers decide to install a complete blower installation, comprising three fixed-speed ZS 200+FS-1200 machines and three variable speed ZS200+VSD-1200 blowers to supply air at 0.199 and 1.16 bar(g) to three of its six fermentation units.

This customer analyses the data after evaluating the energy consumption of the essential fluctuations process in air demand. Atlas Copco's rotary screw blower technology can operate from 100% down to 25% with a little bit shift in specific power requirements. As a result, the customer energy costs are down at least 25%, and they get the return in less than three years.

Atlas Copco's ZS+ blower innovation guarantees 100% oil-free air that complies with ISO 8573-1 Class 0 (2010) certification. In addition, ZS+ blower models integrate with an Elektronikon® system to provide the full feature of control and monitoring your system performance.
