Food

The environment in the food industry is demanding. The process can be very warm and there may be fire hazards. There are different types of oil that can solidify and clog machines – it can get greasy; the floor can be slippery and hazardous to walk on and the grease can follow the vapor into the exhaust system and make ducting and ceilings oily. On top of that there are different local emission standards to consider in almost every region. Oil mist and oil smoke is generated from the frying or deep-frying process, baking process where oil spraying is used or in smoky processes when smoking foods.

Workers Health & Safety

Exposure to airborne particles can cause several health issues including respiratory and skin diseases. Absolent’s filter units capture the particles and deliver 99.97% clean air.

Greasy Working Environment

Air escaping from the production lines contains particles which could harm electronics and create a greasy working environment. Absolent’s filter units capture and remove particles and oil smoke leaving the air clean.

Complaints About Odours

Exhausted air from machines can smell unpleasant - causing complaints from workers and neighbours. Absolent can offer a carbon module or built-in technology from AirMaid® to eliminate odours.

Waste Heat

The oil mist laden air creates challenges to recover the heat produced in the processes. Absolent offers heat exchangers making it possible to reclaim some of the heat to ensure energy efficiency.

Fire Hazards

Grease in ducts etc. poses an increased fire risk. Talk to us – we will customize a solution for you and work together on local fire codes to make sure your needs are met.

Clean air with A•smokeFood

The A•smoke^Food is developed with food in mind, and every component is built to last in that environment. As always, the Absolent Filter units guarantees 99.97% clean air.

Durable in tough conditions

A•smoke^Foodis primarily made of acid proof stainless steel (1.4404), that also applies to the components in the unit. This gives you a filter unit that can handle high temperatures and humidity. In fact, A•smoke^Food is built to manage 90°C as a standard, and it comes with analogue gauges. There are condensation traps to make sure no oil or water can accumulate in the tubes or get into the measuring clocks.

When higher temperature demands are required, we advise diluting the air to reduce the temperature.

Ease of service & less production stops

As the A•smoke^Food units are made of acid proof stainless steel (1.4404), making it easy to clean. Pre-filtration comes as standard, and they are serviceable during operation. When there is a risk of cooking oil and grease solidifying there is a heated option available to prevent clogging of the filter element and to assist draining. The return oil can be collected at the inlet plenum of the filter unit for recycling and depending on what you need we can offer different types of drain solutions – such as a pump. The condensation traps are easily emptied and cleaned by just unscrewing them.

Tailormade for the food industry

A•smoke^Food has a smarter design with the air intake unit sloped to enable ease of oil and water drainage. The drainage part has a modular design to meet different types of needs and the air intake is available from the back, left or right side.
A•smoke^Food is developed with food in mind to adapt and give a tailormade solution. These filter units are durable and can manage high temperatures, they are easy to maintain, and the most important part – they give you clean air!

In collaboration with TurboSwing® & AirMaid®

Also available in the Absolent Air Care Group pollution control range is TurboSwing®. A pre-filtration solution, designed for high efficiency, TurboSwing® can be used with variable air volumes. TurboSwing® uses rotary motion to mechanically separate fat, oil and grease particles already at the source. It can prevent over 90% of particles over 5 microns to enter the extraction duct. and reduces maintenance and energy consumption.

Another complimentary product in the Absolent Air Care Group pollution control range is AirMaid®. AirMaid® is proven to be one of the most cost-effective solutions on the market. Easy to install, low maintenance and low energy consumption – it is easy to fit to a new installation as well as a retrofit to an existing systems. The AirMaid® technology changes the structure of the oils and breaks it down to water and minerals that can be transported away via the exhaust. An additional benefit is that it reduces odours up to 95% before the air is extracted.

TurboSwing® and AirMaid® are proven technologies that are installed in thousands of cooking applications around the world.
