Oxygen O₂ bundle - Food grade - B50
A "Foodgrade" Oxygen (O₂) bundle is a high-performance industrial gas battery consisting of 12 interconnected 50-liter oxygen cylinders, mounted within a robust steel protective frame. This system is designed for large-scale industrial processes where an uninterrupted supply of oxygen with guaranteed "Foodgrade" purity is essential.
Because the oxygen in this bundle is stored under very high pressure (200 or 300 bar), it provides a massive supply of gas. This is the ideal solution for food processing companies with large-scale MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) lines, where oxygen serves as a crucial component in the gas mixture to optimally preserve the freshness and color of products.
Key features:
- Maximum continuity: The bundle eliminates the need for frequent cylinder changes, which is crucial for 24/7 operations and minimizing logistical risks.
- Central connection: All 12 cylinders are connected to a central distribution block with a main valve, allowing the bundle to be easily integrated into a fixed piping network.
- Safety and Frame: The robust steel frame protects the cylinders and is equipped with lifting eyes and forklift slots for safe internal transport of the heavy unit.
- Economic: Due to the bundle configuration and large-scale gas consumption, handling and logistics costs per cubic meter of gas are significantly lower than with individual cylinders.
Product details
Oxygen O₂ bundle, 12 gas cylinders filled with 50L each, total 600L of O₂, specially designed for the food industry (made for long-term and professional use).
Transport
Transport & Logistics:
- Mechanical transport: Due to the high weight (often 1,000+ kg), the bundle may only be moved by certified personnel using a heavy forklift or crane.
- ADR Regulations: The transport of a full oxygen bundle is a complex ADR operation (UN 1072). This is carried out exclusively by specialized gas suppliers who possess the correct certifications and vehicles.
- Surface: The bundle must be placed on a completely flat, load-bearing, and stable surface to eliminate any risk of tipping.
Information
Safety
Specific safety information for the Oxygen Bundle:
- Fire hazard (Extremely Critical): Oxygen is a powerful oxidizer. The potential energy within a bundle is enormous. A leak in a confined space immediately increases the risk of fire. Permanent oxygen monitoring in the storage area is legally required in many cases or highly recommended.
- Grease-free protocol: With a bundle system, the "oxygen clean" standard is crucial. All piping, pressure regulators, and valves in the distribution system must be guaranteed grease-free and specifically designed for oxygen use. No form of lubricant, oil, or grease is permitted.
- Stationary installation: Bundles are almost exclusively placed outdoors or in a specifically ventilated technical room, away from flammable gases (such as propane or acetylene) and combustible materials.
- Leak detection: Due to the scale of the system, a periodic maintenance and inspection protocol for the piping network and connection points is strictly necessary.
Safety tip: When commissioning an oxygen bundle, an official Risk Inventory and Evaluation (RI&E) for the entire installation is mandatory. Ensure that the main valve of the bundle can be shut off immediately and safely in an emergency from a distance or from outside the danger zone.
