Shanghai Ye's Food Factory

Shanghai Ye's Food Factory is one of Franta's stainless steel compressed air piping system application projects in the food processing industry. Food production environments place high requirements on equipment operating stability, compressed air cleanliness, and production hygiene. Franta uses corrosion-resistant stainless steel pipes and a modular press-fit piping system to provide compressed air distribution support for food production, packaging, and related equipment. Project Type: Industrial Application / Food Processing / Compressed Air Project Location: Shanghai, China Application scenarios: Compressed Air Distribution System for Food Production and Packaging Equipment Solution: Franta Industrial Stainless Steel Compressed Air Piping System Solution Product used: Stainless Steel Pipes, Press-Fit Fittings, Equipment Connection Adapters, Compressed Air Outlet Connections, and Related Accessories Service Support: Product Supply, Technical Coordination, Installation Support, Project Services, and After-Sales Support

Project Background

Food processing facilities widely use compressed air in production, conveying, packaging, and automated equipment operation, placing high requirements on the stability and cleanliness of compressed air piping networks.

After long-term operation, conventional metal piping may develop internal corrosion, scale, and loose particles. If contaminants are generated by the piping itself, this can not only increase the load on filtration systems but may also affect equipment operation and hygiene management in food production environments.

At the same time, food production areas often involve cleaning processes and humid operating conditions, placing higher requirements on the corrosion resistance of piping materials. Compressed air distribution systems therefore need to balance hygiene, durability, installation efficiency, and long-term maintenance.

Key Project Requirements and Challenges

Food Production Requires Clean Compressed Air Distribution

Compressed air piping systems need to minimize the generation of rust, scale, and other contaminants from the pipeline itself, providing a stable power medium for production equipment and packaging systems.

Humid Environments Require High Corrosion Resistance

Food processing areas may experience high humidity and frequent cleaning. Conventional metal piping can be prone to corrosion after long-term exposure, increasing maintenance requirements.

Continuous Equipment Operation Depends on a Stable Air Supply

Packaging, conveying, and automated equipment require continuous compressed air support. Pressure losses or leakage within the piping network may affect normal equipment operation.

System Upgrades Need to Minimize Production Disruption

When existing food production lines add equipment or adjust processes, the compressed air network needs to support rapid expansion while minimizing complex construction work and production downtime.

Franta Solution

To meet the food industry's requirements for clean air distribution, corrosion resistance, and continuous production, Franta provides compressed air piping systems using 304 / 316L stainless steel pipes, press-fit connections, and a wide range of equipment interface products.

Food-Grade 304 and Sanitary-Grade 316L Material Options

Franta can provide food-grade 304 stainless steel piping and sanitary-grade 316L stainless steel piping. Suitable materials can be selected according to the production environment, air quality requirements, and specific project conditions to meet different food processing applications.

Reduced Secondary Contamination from the Piping System

Stainless steel pipes feature smooth internal surfaces and are resistant to corrosion and rust, helping reduce contaminants generated by corrosion and scaling in conventional piping and better protecting production equipment and product quality.

Fast Press-Fit Installation Without Open-Flame Work

Press-fit connections require no on-site threading or open-flame welding, making installation more convenient and suitable for both new compressed air networks and upgrades to existing systems in food production facilities.

System Connections for Equipment and Air-Use Terminals

Flanged, threaded, swivel-nut, and compressed air outlet connections can be used to connect air compressors, filters, dryers, and various production terminals, creating a complete compressed air distribution system.

Project Value

Reduced Piping Contamination

Corrosion-resistant stainless steel piping with smooth internal surfaces helps reduce contaminants generated by rust and scale, providing a cleaner and more stable foundation for compressed air distribution in food production environments.

Suitable for Humid Environments

Stainless steel offers good corrosion resistance, making it well suited to humid conditions and frequent cleaning in food processing areas.

Reliable Equipment Operation

A stable compressed air piping network helps reduce equipment operating issues caused by pipeline leakage, pressure loss, and contaminants.

Higher Installation Efficiency

Fast press-fit connections require no open-flame welding, helping shorten installation time for both new and retrofit projects while reducing on-site construction complexity.

Convenient System Expansion

The modular piping system allows branch lines to be expanded as production equipment is added or processes change, providing greater flexibility for future production line adjustments.
