Oxygen O₂ - Food grade - B10
An Oxygen (O₂) B10 gas cylinder is a medium-sized industrial gas cylinder with a water capacity of 10 liters, filled with oxygen under high pressure (200 or 300 bar). This "Foodgrade" version guarantees a high level of purity that meets the strict requirements of the food industry. In this sector, oxygen is often used for processes where oxidation is desired, such as in the packaging of certain fresh products (Modified Atmosphere Packaging - MAP) to preserve natural color or to control the respiration of the product.
The B10 cylinder is a reliable choice for professional users who require a larger supply than the compact B5, but still need to work flexibly.
Key features:
- Versatile application: Ideal for larger MAP packaging solutions or as a component in central gas mixing systems where an oxygen component is required.
- Foodgrade purity: Guaranteed quality that meets the standards for direct/indirect contact with food products, with full traceability.
- B10 format: Offers a good balance between capacity and manageability for daily operations.
- High-pressure system: Stable supply thanks to high-pressure storage; the pressure on the gauge provides an accurate indication of the remaining supply.
Product details
Oxygen O₂ gas cylinder, filled with 10L O₂, specially designed for the food industry (made for long-term and professional use).
Transport
Transport & Use:
- Vertical fixation: The B10 cylinder must always be secured vertically in a cylinder holder or with straps. This prevents damage to the valve and accidental tipping.
- Safety cap: Screw the protective cap directly onto the cylinder when it is not in use or being transported.
- Storage: Store the cylinders in a dry, well-ventilated room. Strict separation is required: never store oxygen near flammable gases (such as acetylene) or flammable liquids.
Information
Safety
Specific safety information for Oxygen (O₂):
- Fire hazard (Critical): Oxygen is the catalyst for combustion. In an oxygen-rich environment, materials that are normally difficult to ignite burn extremely violently. Keep the environment absolutely free of oil, grease, lubricants, and flammable substances.
- Work grease-free: Never use grease or oil on the valve or pressure regulator. Even a small amount of grease can lead to a spontaneous and very powerful oxygen explosion upon contact with high-pressure oxygen.
- Pressure regulator: Use only a pressure regulator specifically designed and certified for Oxygen. Never use a regulator that has been used for other gases.
- Ventilation: Ensure a well-ventilated room. Oxygen is not flammable by itself, but enrichment of the air significantly increases the risk of fire incidents.
