Food & Beverage
Process and package long-lasting food and beverage products
Maintaining the freshness of produce, meat, and packaged foods depends on accurately introducing inert gases while effectively eliminating oxygen. Likewise, achieving consistent beverage carbonation demands precise and highly responsive flow control.
Product guides
Accuracy for quality control
Precise control of gas flow and pressure helps deliver the freshness, crispness, and creaminess consumers expect.
- On-site gas blending for blanketing removes the need for costly pre-mixed gases and simplifies traceability across all packaging components.
- Accurate low-flow dosing allows consistent additive introduction, supporting reliable quality control.
- Aeration, carbonation, and nitrogenation create the bubbles and smooth texture customers enjoy.
Applications and use cases
Aerating chocolate with carbon dioxide and nitrogen
Tightly controlled carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas flows are used to aerate chocolate for a light, airy texture. Learn how Alicat’s MCH-Series mass flow controller helped improve the process of aeration.
Precise dosing of additives and flavorings
CODA Coriolis controllers precisely add oil to potato chips, meeting consumer demands for reduced-oil snacks and ensuring seasonings stick.
Accurate brewing of alcohol and spirits
Alicats are used in alcohol manufacturing to deliver consistent CO2 injections into beer kegs, regulate gas flow for fermentation and fumigation, and precisely dose batches of alcohol precursors.
