How compressors recover 98% energy at the Swedish Dafgård food plant
Big energy savings, cost reductions, reduced carbon dioxide emissions and air quality improvement: see the difference our oil-free compressor systems make
Atlas Copco has set the standard for contamination-free compressed air in the dairy industry. You can rely on the largest range of oil-injected and oil-free technologies within the industry, knowing that you work with the first air compressor manufacturer to achieve ISO 8573-1 (2010) Class 0 clean air, certified by TÜV Rheinland. Our compressors provide the highest quality compressed air for dairy processing production lines. This compressed air purity prevents contamination and safeguards your reputation.
Many industries require compliance with ISO 8573-1, the internationally recognized air quality standard. Not complying with these international standards organisations can be costly, but understanding them will bring you peace of mind.

Compressed air applications in the dairy industry
Dairy Machines
Milking robots are becoming commonplace in the dairy industry. Dairy farmers can maximize efficiency and profits by utilizing pneumatically-controlled milking robots which are powered by compressed air.
Pneumatic conveying systems are very common on farms, helping transport grains, powders, and other products to storage locations with little effort.
Crop Protection
Ensuring that crops are protected from general bugs and pests becomes easier by mounting air compressors on the backs of vehicles, attaching the proper sprayer attachments, and your application is ready to go.
Wastewater Treatment
Some farms treat their wastewater on-site by using low pressure blowers to supply air for re-aerating their tanks. The re-aeration process assists aerobic bacteria in producing enzymes that break down waste.
Fermentation
Compressed air supplies oxygen to bacteria during fermentation to produce food ingredients such as citric acid, wine, and yogurt.
Storing Wind Energy
Though not a common practice, there is cutting-edge work being conducted on different ways in which air compressors can be used as storage devices for excess energy generated by wind turbines.
Winterizing Irrigation Lines
Air compressors are key in helping to clear irrigation lines of any excess water to prep for the winter months. This helps extend your irrigation lines’ longevity and decreases the amount of money spent on repairs.

Atlas Copco provides oil-free compressed air to La Molisana
Class Zero, means zero oil and zero risk of contamination or of unsafe products. Oil-injected compression, even filtered, cannot guarantee that all oil vapors, aerosols and other contaminants are removed from the air. In the food and beverages industry in particular any risk of oil contamination must be excluded.
