Oxygen O₂ - Food grade - B20
An Oxygen (O₂) B20 gas cylinder is a professional industrial gas cylinder with a water capacity of 20 liters, filled with oxygen at a pressure of 200 or 300 bar. This "Foodgrade" version offers the high purity required in the food industry, where oxygen is used in advanced processes such as the controlled packaging of fresh products (MAP - Modified Atmosphere Packaging) to optimize color retention and freshness.
The B20 cylinder is designed for more intensive consumption. It provides a significant supply for serial processes or larger packaging lines, while the format remains manageable for logistical movements within a production facility.
Key features:
- Increased autonomy: The 20-liter volume ensures longer usage times, reducing the frequency of cylinder changes in the production process.
- Foodgrade purity: Meets the strict hygiene and traceability requirements of the food processing sector.
- High-pressure system: Storage under high pressure guarantees a constant gas flow for precise dosing applications in gas mixing installations.
- Versatile application: Ideal for a central gas supply in a specific department or as a reliable source for larger packaging machines.
Product details
Oxygen O₂ gas cylinder, filled with 20L of O₂, specially designed for the food industry (made for long-term and professional use).
Transport
Transport & Use:
- Vertical fixation: Due to its weight and size, stable vertical fixation with a chain or bracket on a welding cart or in a storage rack is mandatory.
- Safety cap: Screw the protective cap directly onto the cylinder as soon as it is not in use. This protects the vulnerable valve against impact.
- Storage: Store oxygen cylinders in a dry, well-ventilated room. Strict separation rules apply: never store oxygen next to flammable gases (such as acetylene, propane, or hydrogen) or flammable liquids.
Information
Safety
Specific safety information for Oxygen (O₂):
- Fire hazard (Critical): Oxygen is a powerful oxidizer. Even a small leak in a room significantly increases the flammability of textiles, paper, and plastics. Keep the environment absolutely free of oil, grease, lubricants, and flammable materials.
- Work grease-free: Never use grease or oil on the valve or pressure regulator. In contact with high-pressure oxygen, this can lead to a spontaneous and destructive oxygen explosion.
- Pressure regulator: Use only a pressure regulator specifically certified for Oxygen. Never use it for other gases to prevent cross-contamination.
- Ventilation: Ensure continuous air renewal in rooms where oxygen is stored or used.
