20 kg carbon dioxide CO₂ - Food Grade - 27 l - steel
Please contact us to order
A steel carbon dioxide (CO₂) B20 cylinder with a very large capacity of 20 kg of liquid CO₂ (water capacity approx. 27 liters) is fully optimized for the strict requirements of the food and beverage industry. Thanks to its enormous volume and uncompromising purity, this industrial cylinder is the perfect choice for companies with high daily gas consumption where continuity and reliability come first.
Important info!
Key Applications in the Food Sector:
- Beverage Industry & Breweries: Continuously and on a large scale dispensing, dosing, and carbonating enormous volumes of beer, soft drinks, cider, and other beverages.
- Sparkling Water Production: Ideal for industrial water production lines, large-scale events, large corporate installations, and central water cooling systems.
- Packaging Technology (MAP): Packaging food products on an industrial scale under a modified atmosphere (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) to optimally guarantee shelf life and freshness.
- Agro & Industry: Heavier supporting applications in the sector, such as the precise pH regulation of large water streams or large-scale processes within greenhouse horticulture.
Product details
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas cylinder, filled with 20 kg of CO₂, specifically developed for food-grade applications (built for long-term and professional use).
Transport
Transport:
- Fixation: Due to the weight and dimensions, proper fixation with professional ratchet straps at two heights in the vehicle is mandatory.
- ADR regulations: For commercial transport, this size (partly due to the total weight of the filled cylinder) almost always falls under the relevant transport legislation (ADR). Ensure you have the correct documentation and safety equipment (fire extinguisher).
Information
Safety
Specific safety information for the B30 (Steel):
- Always upright: Usage and transport must take place strictly in an upright position. The enormous amount of liquid CO₂ in this cylinder makes the consequences of horizontal use even more severe; when the valve is opened, liquid can flow into the regulator, immediately leading to freezing and serious damage to the system.
- Mechanical assistance required: Due to the high dead weight and the 20 kg fill, it is physically heavy and dangerous to move the B30 manually. Always use a robust cylinder hand truck or a pallet jack.
- Freezing risk & preheating: With a cylinder of this size, the chance of the valve freezing during continuous withdrawal is very high. The use of a pressure regulator with an electric heating element is almost always necessary with this model to ensure a constant gas flow and to prevent valve freezing.
- Great risk in case of leakage: A 20 kg CO₂ cylinder contains a massive mass of gas. An unnoticed leak in a confined space will very quickly bring oxygen displacement to a critical level. Permanent CO₂ detection with an alarm function is strongly recommended in rooms where a B30 cylinder is located.
