Brewing

From microbreweries to large scale manufacturers, PPS has a solution to help in the brewing process.  We can help with nitrogen for creating top pressure or purging tanks, oil free air for canning or production lines, as well as pneumatics for regulation and control.

We work with a number of breweries to produce food grade air and nitrogen. Nitrogen in particular is expensive to buy in, but with air being made up of 78% Nitrogen (N2), 21% oxygen (o2) and 1% trace gases such as argon, it makes a lot of sense to make your own.

Where can we help

    • Oil free compressed air
    • On-site N2 generation – smaller membrane systems  (Atlas Copco NGMs) are perfect for the brewing industry
    • Contaminant free
    • Affordable solutions

Food & Beverage Grade Compressed Air Best Practice Guideline

Produced by the British Compressed Air Society (BCAS) this guide sets out the standard for the type of compressed air equipment to be used, how to install, maintain and audit it, and the levels of air purity required to reduce the risk of contamination

This guide should help food and beverage processors use compressed air as safely and efficiently as possible.

On-site nitrogen case study:

  • Faster and easier brewery processes from onsite nitrogen generation

    The customer was previously only using CO2 from cylinders for the various brewing processes. A number of these processes can be done using nitrogen which can be generated onsite, reducing the reliance on external suppliers.

    The new equipment has given the brewery capacity for growth, while also making the processes a lot faster. They have saved money in the production process, with payback on the new machinery expected in just over a year. Plus, they are now in control of a reliable supply of nitrogen.

What our customers say

We have dealt with PPS for 25 years since they installed our original system, they have always been professional, quick to respond and helpful in maintaining our system. 

When we decided to investigate updating our system, they provided useful data on our existing and future possibilities.  This data along with their advice was superb. 

The new system has met our expectations. I would always recommend PPS.

John Gibson

Waddington & Ledger Group

I’ve worked with pneumatics but had no schematics for this particular application, so PPS helped us all the way through. I’m really impressed with the system; it lifts up easily and is set on a 360° revolving plate with wheels that also turn, which makes it easy to manoeuvre.

PPS were very helpful and supportive, sorting every problem in the process and taking the stress off me. Everything was spot on, I can’t fault PPS and I would highly recommend their services.

Safe Stage Services

PPS are a great team to work with. I have peace of mind and working with them takes something off my plate. They leave me knowing it’s left in good hands and that I know I don’t have to worry about the compressors or the plant room.

Without the compressors we wouldn’t run, so working with a company that gives me no headaches is all you want.

Bob Holinski

Facilities & Engineering Manager, Cirteq Ltd

I was naturally nervous about replacing our complete pneumatic system during full production.

From our initial meetings, PPS were completely professional and remained so throughout the whole project – high levels of safety and courtesy were maintained. I had zero interruption to the plant, the engineers fully understood the needs of my plant and worked around us.

It was a completely painless project.
