Food processing industry

Packaging lines

Pneumatic connections on machines

The majority of packaging and bottling machines are pneumatically controlled. Prevost's CONEX RX stainless steel push-fit fittings are specifically designed to be installed directly on these machines as well as in pneumatic panels. Their 316 stainless steel construction and Viton seals make them suitable for use in the food industry.

Air treatment

The bottling of liquids for human consumption requires air that meets food industry standards. Prevost's MICRO AIR filters with activated carbon filter treat the air to the required levels. Prevost has many times over proven the effectiveness of its filtration/treatment systems in this very field.

Conveyance of air

Safety standards in most food industry facilities are stringent (protection of people and hygiene). Floors cluttered with hoses are a major concern owing to the tripping hazards, risks of air leaks and damage to floor surfaces they can cause. Prevost's stainless steel hose reels eliminate these problems. Hoses stay out of the way and easily retract back inside the reels, while the stainless steel housings are easy to clean and hygienic.

Water washing

Prevost offers a complete line of stainless steel hose reels (DSF, DRF, DMO, DGO, DLO) and a complementary range of spray guns (PL JETI) designed for repeated washings workstations to prevent the contamination of food by bacteria.

Abattoirs and meat packing plants

Processing lines

Pneumatic connections on processing lines

Processing lines require the use of high-strength materials that can withstand the constant humidity and presence of brine and detergents. Prevost's PROXI couplings are made of heavy-duty composite material and stainless steel. They are designed to withstand the particularly aggressive conditions found in these environments. Their internal construction ensures fully leaktight connections even under such harsh conditions.

Pneumatic connections on machines

Food hygiene regulations require constant cleaning and disinfection in food processing facilities. These same regulations apply to automated machines. Prevost has developed CONEX, a line of stainless steel push-fit fittings for food processing machinery. More specifically, the RX range of 316 stainless steel fittings with Viton seals is designed for the requirements of this application.

Water connections

The constant washing in processing lines requires the use of water system couplings that are highly resistant to impacts from being dropped on hard floors. Prevost's ELS water couplings are designed for such rough treatment. In addition, the flow rates they offer make them the couplings of choice for processing lines.

Washing

Hygiene is the prime concern in abattoirs. Disinfection is an absolute must and the equipment used to wash processing lines must be made of stainless steel. Prevost offers a complete line of stainless steel hose reels (DSF, DRF, DMO, DGO, DLO) and a complementary range of spray guns (PL JETI) designed specifically to meet these requirements.

Air treatment

Hygiene rules in the food processing industry are particularly stringent. Prevost's range of MICRO AIR treatment products meets the exact air quality requirements in abattoirs and meat packing plants.

Dairy industry

Dairy factories and cheese factories

Pneumatic connections along processing lines

The constant use of antibacterial cleaners in dairy factories and cheese factories can be particularly damaging to equipment. Made of heavy-duty composite material and stainless steel, Prevost's PROXI couplings have proven over and over that they can adequately withstand such harsh chemicals.

Pneumatic connections on machines

Hygiene regulations in the dairy industry require constant cleaning and disinfection. {Prevost has developed CONEX, a line of stainless steel push-fit fittings that hold up against cleaners and disinfectants. More specifically, the RX range of 316 stainless steel fittings with Viton seals is designed for the requirements of this application.

Air treatment

The compressed air used in dairy factories and cheese factories is primarily used during wrapping and packaging. As a result, the quality requirements for this air can be extremely high. Prevost's MICRO AIR products bring air to "oil free" or "breathing air" levels.

Conveyance of air

Heeding the needs of dairy factories and cheese factories, Prevost has added a complete line of stainless steel models to its range of hose reels. It has also developed a special series of high and low-pressure hose reels for air, hot water, cold water.

Washing

Daily disinfection of equipment is a must in the dairy industry. Prevost offers a complete line of stainless steel hose reels (DSF, DRF, DMO, DGO, DLO) and a complementary range of spray guns (PL JETI) designed specifically for washing and disinfection.
