Beko ClearpointV Carbon adsorber

Applications & Use Cases

• Removal of oil vapour and hydrocarbons from compressed air in beverage production.
• Purification of process air to meet stringent quality standards for food contact.
• Protection of downstream equipment from contamination in sensitive processing lines.
• Ensuring product integrity and preventing off-tastes or odours in finished beverages.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, volume flow rates commonly range from 100 Nm³/h to over 1000 Nm³/h, depending on the specific model and application.

Operating pressure

Units of this type typically operate within a pressure range of 4 to 10 bar, with maximum inlet pressures commonly up to 16 bar.

Operating temperature

Carbon adsorbers are generally designed to function effectively within a temperature range of -10°C to 60°C.

Adsorbent material

Activated carbon is the standard adsorbent used, known for its effectiveness in removing oil vapours and odours.

Maintenance requirements

Regular replacement of the activated carbon bed is required, with frequency depending on air quality and usage, typically every 6 to 12 months.

Footprint

These units are typically floor-standing, with a compact vertical design to minimise space requirements within a plant.
