GAST/JUN-AIR to exhibit at drinktec 2017

Tue, Jul 18, 2017

Gast Group – the leading designer and manufacturer of precision air products and member of IDEX Corporation’s Health & Science Technologies division – will be using its stand (A1.550) at drinktec 2017 to promote its products and services for beverage dispense applications.

Traditionally CO₂has been used to operate beer and soft drinks syrup pumps but, due to environmental and health & safety concerns, many venues are introducing compressors for larger installations, which has led to a significant increase in demand for compressed air to replace CO₂ in beverage dispensing systems.

Besides reducing the number of gas cylinders that need to be stored and handled, an on-site compressed air generator can be used to dispense draught beer (from traditional kegs to 500-1000 litre pressurised beer tanks); pump beer, wine and syrup; and operate bag-in-box and blend-in-cup installations for the dispensing of other drinks.

Gast Group will be using drinktec 2017 to showcase its JUN-AIR 86/87R Series Systems, which are designed to suit virtually any beverage or liquid food application and be even quieter and more durable in operation. They provide best-in-class reliability, quality and performance; and their compact footprint makes them easy to install and ready to use at point-of-installation, making them easily integrated into most applications.

Also on the stand – and ideal for beverage and liquid food applications – are Gast Group’s new LubeFree options, which utilise a proprietary vane material to provide versatility and allow users the options to oil or not oil the motor.

Heineken’s Orion and Cellar-beer dispense systems consist of a series of 250, 500 or 1000 litre stainless steel tanks, installed in either a cold room or water-cooled insulated beer-tank and filled from beer trucks or road tankers.

Unlike traditional kegs that rely on CO₂ for dispense, the Heineken systems use compressed air from JUN-AIR compressors or GAST rocking pistons to pressurise the tanks and squeeze the beer-filled in-liners to deliver beer to the taps. This method also improves health and safety in the workplace as employees don’t handle heavy barrels or gas canisters.

For Heineken’s Cellar-beer, a wall-mounted JUN-AIR OF312 compressor with an 8.5 litre receiver tank produces compressed air at 2.5 bar to deliver the beer at 25 l/min, sufficient for up to five taps. The Orion system uses a wall-mounted Gast 82R rocking piston fitted with an 8.5 litre stainless steel receiver tank and is capable of delivering beer at 20 l/min, sufficient for four taps. For larger venues, Heineken also specifies JUN-AIR’s OF1202 fitted with two 8.5 litre receiver tanks, which are connected in series and capable of dispensing beer to as many as 90 taps.

Summarising, a Heineken spokesperson says: “We have used electric pumps to deliver beer but, since developing the Cellar-beer 2000 system, the JUN-AIR and GAST compressors have helped us set new standards. They are a reliable source and I am confident in talking to the company about future innovations, specifications and developments to our dispense systems.”

Gast Group’s expertise covers multiple applications and is supported by an extensive knowledge of compressed air applications in the food and beverage sector; with customers benefitting from the company’s many successful relationships with OEMs and partnerships with equipment distributors.

Gast Group will also be promoting other GAST and JUN-AIR oil-less and oil-lubricated ranges of clean and quiet compressed air solutions at Drinktec 2017. For further information call Gast Group on +44 (0)1527 504040, email gastgroup.uk@idexcorp.com or visit www.gastmfg.com.

Gast Group - le concepteur principal et le fabricant de produits d'air comprimé de précision, membre de IDEX Corporation division Sciences et technologies de la santé - utilisera son stand à Drinktec 2017 pour promouvoir ses produits et services pour les applications liées à la distribution automatique de boissons.

Traditionnellement le CO2 a été utilisé pour alimenter les pompes destinées à la bière et au sirop des boissons non alcoolisées, mais, en raison des préoccupations environnementales liées à la santé et à la sécurité, beaucoup de lieux ont introduit des compresseurs pour les plus grandes installations, ce qui a mené à une augmentation significative de la demande de l'air comprimé pour remplacer le CO2 dans les systèmes de distribution de boisson.

En plus de la réduction du nombre de bouteilles de gaz qui doivent être stockées et manipulé sur site, un compresseur sur place peut être utilisé pour distribuer la bière à la pression (fût traditionnels de 500-1000 litres de bière pressurisés); pompe à bière, vin ou sirop; conditionnés en bag in box ainsi que des installations de mélange pour la distribution d'autres boissons peuvent être alimenté par un compresseur.

Gast Group utilisera Drinktec 2017 pour présenter ses système 86/87R JUN-AIR, qui ont été conçus pour répondre à n'importe qu’elle demande pour la distribution de boisson ou de liquide alimentaire en étant plus silencieux et durable dans l’exploitation. Ils fournissent une meilleure fiabilité, qualité, et un grand niveau de performance; leur encombrement réduit les rend faciles à installer et prêt à être utiliser directement sur l’installation ce qui leurs confère une adaptation sur la plupart des applications.

Vous trouverez aussi sur le stand - idéal pour la boisson et les applications liées aux liquides alimentaires - les nouvelles options moteur pneumatiques LubeFree de Gast Group, qui utilisent une nouvelle matière de palettes avec un brevet déposé pour offrir une polyvalence et permettre aux utilisateurs de lubrifié ou non leurs moteurs. Ces nouvelles options ont non seulement étendu la gamme GAST de moteurs pneumatique 2AM, 4AM et 6AM qui sont utilisés dans un bon nombre d’application tels que le mélange de peinture, de produits chimiques, les pompes de transfert, le transport de matériel et d’autres applications industrielles- ce qui donne à l’opérateur une certaine flexibilité dans son planning de maintenance ou de générer des économies en éliminant la lubrification ainsi que l’entretien des systèmes de lubrification.

Gast Group dans l’action

Les systèmes de distribution Orion and Cellar Beer de la société Heineken disposent en série de réservoirs 250, 500 ou 1000 L en acier inoxydable qui peuvent être soit installés dans une chambre froide, dans un réservoir externe à refroidissement par eau installé dans un camion ou encore dans une citerne externe.

Contrairement aux Fût traditionnels qui ont besoin de CO2 pour distribuer la bière, les systèmes Heineken utilisent des compresseurs à air JUN-AIR ou GAST à pistons oscillants pour pressuriser les réservoirs en compressant des fûts souple pour délivrer la bière à la pression. Cette méthode améliore ainsi la santé et la sécurité sur le lieu de travail, car les salariés ne manipulent pas les fûts qui sont lourds ou des bouteilles de gaz.

Pour le système Heneiken Cellar Beer, un compresseur mural OF312 avec un réservoir de 8.5 litres produit de l'air comprimé à 2.5 bar pour obtenir un débit de distribution de la bière de 25 l/min, ce qui est suffisants pour alimenter jusqu'à cinq tireuses. Le système Orion utilise un compresseur mural Gast 82R à piston oscillant avec un réservoir en acier inoxydable de 8.5 litres qui est capable de délivrer un débit de bière de 20 l/min, ce qui est suffisants pour quatre tireuses. Pour des lieux plus importants, Heineken recommande un compresseur OF1202 JUN-AIR avec deux réservoirs de 8.5 litres, qui sont connectés en série et capable de distribuer de la bière pour 90 tireuses.

Pour récapituler, un porte-parole de la société Heineken dit : "nous utilisions des pompes électriques pour distribuer la bière, mais, depuis le développement du système Cellar Beer, les compresseurs JUN-AIR et GAST nous ont aidés à mettre en place de nouvelles solutions standards. Ces compresseurs sont une source fiable et je suis confiant pour parler de futures innovations futures ainsi que des développements sur nos systèmes de distribution de boissons."

L'expertise du Groupe GAST couvre de multiples applications, fort d’une vaste connaissance d'applications utilisant de l'air comprimé dans le secteur de la boisson et de la nourriture; profitant des expériences fructueuses avec des clients et de partenariats solides avec des OEM et des distributeurs d'équipement.

Gast Group promouvra aussi d'autres systèmes de la gamme GAST et JUN-AIR Lubrifié et non lubrifié qui sont des solutions d'air comprimé propres et silencieuses à Drinktec 2017.

Die GAST Group – einer der führenden Hersteller von Präzisions-Druckluftprodukten und Teil des IDEX Konzerns - wird auf Ihrem Stand der drinktec 2017 in München Ihre Produkte sowie Dienstleistungen rund um den Bereich der Getränkeanwendungen vorstellen.

Traditionell wurde CO2 für den Betrieb von Bier-, Erfrischungsgetränke- bzw. Sirup-Pumpen eingesetzt, aber aufgrund von Umwelt-, Gesundheits- und Sicherheits-bedenken stellten viele Standorte auf Druckluftversorgung um. Ziel dieser Umstellung war es, den CO2 Verbrauch in vorhandenen Getränkesystemen drastisch zu reduzieren. Bei der Installation von Neuanlagen wird darüber hinaus ein entsprechend ausgelegtes bzw. angepasstes Druckluftversorgungssystem vorgesehen.

Neben der Reduzierung der Anzahl von Gasflaschen, die gelagert und gehandhabt werden müssen, kann ein kleiner Druckluftgenerator für dezentrale Versorgung verwendet werden, um Fassbier (aus traditionellen Fässern bis hin zu 500 - 1000 Liter Druckbierbehältern), Wein oder Sirup zu fördern. „Bag-in-Box“ und „Blend in cup“ Anlagen, eingesetzt für das Mischen und der Abgabe von anderen Getränken, können ebenfalls mit diesen leisen, Öl-Freien Kleinkompressoren versorgt werden.

Gast Group wird auf der drinktec 2017 ihre JUN-AIR 86 / 87R Serie Systeme vorstellen, die in nahezu jeder Getränke- oder Nahrungsmittelanwendung einsetzbar sind und sich im Betrieb durch eine noch größere Laufruhe und Langlebigkeit auszeichnen. Sie bieten die höchste Zuverlässigkeit, Qualität und Leistung; Ihre kompakten Abmessungen gewährleisten eine einfache Installation direkt dort, wo die Druckluft benötigt wird, darüber hinaus können sie leicht und problemlos in die meisten, bestehenden Anwendungen integriert werden.

Auch auf dem Stand - und ideal für Getränke- und Nahrungsmittelanwendungen - sind die neuen Öl-Freien Druckluftmotoren der Gast Group, die durch ein neu entwickeltes Lamellenmaterial eine weitaus höhere Vielseitigkeit bieten und damit den Anwendern die Möglichkeit zu geben, den Motor im geölten oder Öl-freien Betrieb zu verwenden. Diese neue „LubeFree“ Option erweitert das GAST-Sortiment von 2AM-, 4AM- und 6AM-Luftmotoren, die in einer Vielzahl von Anwendungen eingesetzt werden, darunter Chemikalien- und Lackmischanlagen oder Rührwerke für pharmazeutische Anwendungen.

Auch bei Pumpenantrieben, Material Handling Applikationen und anderen industrielle Anwendungen geben diese neuen Modelle der GAST Luftmotoren Sparte den Betreibern die Flexibilität, ihre Wartungspläne zu optimieren und Investitionen zu reduzieren, indem sie Öl, Schmierstoffkomponenten und notwendige Systemwartungen, welche im geölten Betrieb notwendig sind, überflüssig macht.

Gast-Group in Aktion

Heineken-Orion- und Keller-Bier-Dosiersysteme bestehen aus einer Reihe von 250, 500 oder 1000 Liter Edelstahltanks, die entweder in einem kalten Raum oder einem wassergekühlten, isolierten Bierbehälter installiert sind und aus Bier- oder Tankwagen direkt befüllt werden.

Im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Fässern, die auf CO2 zur Entnahme des Getränkes angewiesen sind, verwenden die Heineken-Systeme Druckluft von JUN-AIR-Kompressor Systemen oder GAST-Taumelkolbenkompressoren, um die Tanks unter Druck zu setzen und damit die mit Bier gefüllten „In-Liner“, welche sich in den Edelstahltanks befinden, mit Druck zu beaufschlagen und das Bier an die Zapfhähne liefert. Diese Methode verbessert auch die Sicherheit am Arbeitsplatz und schützt die Gesundheit der Mitarbeiter, da diese keine schweren Fässer oder Gasflaschen mehr bewegen müssen.

Für Heineken's Kellerbier produziert ein an der Wand montierter JUN-AIR OF312 Kompressor mit einem 8,5-Liter-Druckluftbehälter Druckluft für einen Systemdruck von 2,5 bar, um das Bier mit 25 l / min zu liefern, ausreichend für bis zu fünf Hähne. Das Orion-System verwendet einen wandmontierten Gast 82R-Taumelkolbenkompressor, der mit einem 8,5-Liter-Edelstahl-Druckluftbehälter ausgestattet und in der Lage ist, Bier mit 20 l / min zu liefern, das für vier Hähne ausreichend ist.

Für größere Veranstaltungsorte spezifiziert Heineken auch das JUN-AIR Modell OF1202 mit zwei 8,5-Liter-Tanks, die in Serie geschaltet in der Lage sind, Bier auf bis zu 90 Hähne zu verteilen.

Zusammenfassend sagt ein Heineken-Sprecher: "Wir haben Elektropumpen benutzt, um das Bier an die Zapfstellen zu liefern, aber seit der Entwicklung des Keller-Bier-2000-Systems haben die JUN-AIR- und GAST-Kompressoren dazu beigetragen, neue Maßstäbe zu setzen. Sie sind eine zuverlässige Quelle und ich bin davon überzeugt, in der Zukunft mit der GAST Group über kommende Innovationen, Spezifikationen und Entwicklungen bei unseren Getränke Systemen in Bezug auf Druckluft zu sprechen. "

Die Kompetenz der Gast-Group umfasst vielfältige Anwendungen und wird durch umfangreiche Kenntnisse der Druckluftanwendungen im Lebensmittel- und Getränkesektor untermauert. Die Kunden und Anwender profitieren von den vielen erfolgreichen Beziehungen zu Erstausrüstern und Partnerschaften mit Komponenten Lieferanten.

Die Gast-Group wird auf der drinktec 2017 darüber hinaus weitere GAST- und JUN-AIR Produkte für saubere und leise Druckluftlösungen bewerben.
