Oxygen O₂ - Food grade - B50
An Oxygen (O₂) B50 gas cylinder is the industrial standard for large-scale applications in the food industry. With a water capacity of 50 liters and a filling pressure of 200 or 300 bar, this cylinder holds the maximum oxygen supply per individual unit. This "Foodgrade" version guarantees the highest purity and full traceability, which are essential for critical processes such as MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging), where oxygen is added in specific ratios to ensure the quality and presentation (such as color retention of meat) of fresh products.
The B50 is the workhorse for intensive use. Thanks to its large volume, it is the most efficient choice for companies where a constant and reliable oxygen supply is required for packaging machines or large-scale oxidation processes.
Key features:
- Maximum autonomy: Minimizes the frequency of cylinder changes, which is essential for uninterrupted production lines and reducing logistical handling.
- Foodgrade purity: Complies with all relevant standards for the food industry, with strict quality assurance of the gas.
- Industrial standard: The most commonly used format for stationary gas supply and connection to central piping networks in food processing facilities.
- High-pressure system: Guarantees constant pressure and flow for precise mixing in gas mixing systems (e.g., in combination with nitrogen or CO₂).

Oxygen O₂ gas cylinder, filled with 50L O₂, specially designed for the food industry (made for long-term and professional use).
Transport
Transport & Use:
- Mechanical transport: A full B50 weighs significantly (approx. 60-80 kg). Always use a professional cylinder hand truck with a chain guard. Never lift the cylinder manually.
- Fixation: For stationary use in the factory, the cylinder must always stand upright and be secured with a proper wall bracket or chain.
- ADR Regulations: For business transport, the B50 is subject to ADR guidelines (UN 1072, Oxygen, compressed, 2.2 + 5.1). Ensure proper documentation and safety equipment are present in the vehicle.
Information
Safety
Specific safety information for Oxygen (O₂) (B50):
- Fire hazard (Critical): Oxygen is a powerful oxidizer that extremely accelerates combustion. Keep the environment absolutely free of oil, grease, lubricants, and flammable materials. A minimal leak can lead to spontaneous combustion or explosion upon contact with these substances.
- Work grease-free: Never use grease or oil on the valve, threads, or pressure regulator. All equipment must be "oxygen clean." This is life-saving.
- Pressure regulator: Use only a pressure regulator specifically certified for Oxygen. Never use it for other gases to avoid contamination (and therefore fire hazard).
- Ventilation: Ensure continuous, active ventilation in the room where the cylinder is used or stored to prevent the accumulation of oxygen in the event of a leak.
