Looking for food industry experience with Inert Gas Generators
Started by RobinSue, Jun 04 2013 10:13 PM
Hello, I am looking for food industry experience with the use of inert gas generators (natural gas combustion) to produce packaging gas (approx. 12% CO2). These systems were popular in the 1980s and 1990s and as I understand were used as the first step in the carbonation process at one time. They are seldom used now so I may be looking for historical expertise, however, a few systems are still in use in the food industry.
I would like to know what kind of filtration was used by food manufacturers who had these systems in their manufacturing facilties to remove possible natural gas hydrocarbon/combusion contaminants from the packaging gas.
Thanks
Do non-food contact labels and film overwrap have to be covered when stored?
What’s the hardest part of building a strong food safety culture?
I am trying to package a 4.4pH food product into a container that deforms at 140-150 degrees. HFH vs CFH vs other options?
