Your Compressed Air Touches Your Product. Is It Clean Enough?

In food and beverage manufacturing, compressed air is a critical utility that directly contacts your product. Contamination risks, regulatory compliance, and energy costs demand a system that is clean, reliable, and efficient. Peak kW delivers independent, data-driven assessments to protect your product and your bottom line.

Compressed Air Challenges in Food & Beverage

FDA regulations, SQF audits, and consumer safety requirements make compressed air quality non-negotiable in food production.

Contamination Risk

Compressed air that contacts food product must meet strict purity standards under ISO 8573, ISO 22000, and SQF requirements. Oil vapor, moisture, and particulate contamination can trigger product recalls, failed HACCP audits, and FDA 21 CFR Part 117 violations. We test and verify your air quality with calibrated instrumentation, giving you the documentation needed to pass audits and protect your FSMA compliance.

Nitrogen Generation Efficiency

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and blanketing applications depend on reliable, cost-effective nitrogen supply. We evaluate your nitrogen generation systems for purity, capacity, and energy efficiency – and identify when on-site generation saves money versus bulk delivery.

Packaging Line Reliability

Pressure drops and flow instability shut down packaging lines and create bottlenecks. We log pressure and flow at point-of-use to identify undersized piping, leaking distribution, and demand conflicts that compromise your throughput.

Protecting Product Quality Across the Food Supply Chain

From dairy processing to beverage bottling to snack manufacturing, Peak kW helps food producers maintain air quality compliance while reducing energy costs.

How We Help Food & Beverage Facilities

Air Quality Testing & Compliance

ISO 8573 air quality testing for oil, moisture, and particulate. Full documentation for SQF, FSSC 22000, and BRC audits. Point-of-use sampling at critical contact points.

System Performance Assessment

7-14 day metered data logging across your entire compressed air system. Identify waste, pressure instability, and capacity constraints with a prioritized savings roadmap.

Leak Detection & Quantification

Ultrasonic leak survey with every leak tagged, photographed, and quantified. Based on DOE estimates, most food plants lose 20-30% or more of compressed air to leaks – air you’re paying to compress, treat, and dry.

Nitrogen & Process Gas Optimization

Evaluate nitrogen generation systems for MAP packaging, blanketing, and purging applications. Right-size equipment, optimize purity settings, and reduce energy cost per cubic foot of N2.

Find Out What Your Compressed Air System Is Really Costing You

10-minute call. No obligation. If your system is 200+ HP, there’s almost certainly money to save. Utility incentives often cover 50-100% of the assessment cost.
