Hello everyone,

I’m new to working with compressed air in food production and would like to deepen my understanding of best practices, standards, and risk assessment processes. Specifically, I’m looking for:

• Guidelines for determining limits for direct and indirect contact with food.
• Recommended analyses (e.g., oil, moisture, particulates, microbial contamination).
• Insights on testing periodicity.

If you have any useful links, articles, or bibliographic recommendations, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thank you!

Erin Zimmerman of Trace Analytics presented a webinar on this earlier in the year.

Thank you for your response.

 

I would really appreciate it if someone could share the slides from Erin Zimmerman's webinar. I'm particularly interested in the slide at minute 44:01, where she presents the purity class applications. I couldn't locate the source or bibliography for the table on this slide.

I have the email from that webinar, but the link to the slides is no longer active. 

If you go to the webinar page and message Simon Timperley, they might be able to help.

I downloaded the slides just a couple of days ago. Looks like they are still there.

 

Good luck!
