As the beer market continues to expand, more and more people are trying to make their own craft beer at home。In the previous article Xiaobian to introduce to youWhat is the role of compressed air in the beer industry?》《Why use a nitrogen machine in a brewery?》This article Xiaobian collated the craft beer equipment should be how to choose air compressor？This article will answer your questions from the following aspects。

First, understand the type of air compressor

Air compressors are mainly divided into piston air compressors, screw air compressors and centrifugal air compressors。Piston type air compressor has simple structure, relatively low price, but small displacement and pressure range;Screw air compressor displacement and pressure range is large, suitable for large equipment;Centrifugal air compressors have higher efficiency and stability。Therefore, when choosing an air compressor, you need to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of various types according to your own needs。

Second, determine the rated power of the air compressor

The rated power of the air compressor refers to the maximum power that it can continuously output in a certain period of time。When selecting an air compressor, ensure that its rated power is greater than or equal to the compressed air flow required in the beer production process。In general, the air demand of the brewery is small, so you can choose an air compressor with a smaller power rating to reduce investment costs。

Three, consider the noise level of the air compressor

Air compressor will produce a certain amount of noise during operation, if the noise is too large, it will affect the surrounding environment and the work of the staff。Therefore, when selecting air compressors, products with lower noise levels should be selected as far as possible。In addition, measures such as the use of soundproof materials or the installation of mufflers can be considered to further reduce noise。

Four, pay attention to the maintenance of air compressor

The maintenance of air compressor is very important to ensure its normal operation。When selecting an air compressor, the ease of use and maintenance cost of the equipment should be considered。Generally speaking, the simple structure of the piston air compressor maintenance cost is low;The maintenance of screw and centrifugal air compressors is relatively complicated。Therefore, this point should be fully considered in the selection of air compressors。

Five, consider the brand's after-sales service

After purchasing an air compressor, you may encounter some failures or problems。Therefore, when choosing an air compressor, you should choose a brand with good after-sales service。This can get timely maintenance and support when the equipment has problems, to ensure the smooth progress of production。

In short, when choosing the air compressor of craft beer equipment, various factors need to be considered comprehensively, such as type, rated power, noise level, maintenance cost and brand after-sales service。Only in this way, can you buy your own air compressor to provide stable and reliable compressed air for the production of craft beer。
