Compressed Air for Breweries and Craft Beverage
Bottling, canning, kegging, tank purging. Your product quality depends on clean compressed air at every stage. We make sure it is right.
How Compressed Air Powers Your Operations
Bottling and Canning Lines
Consistent air pressure for fill accuracy, sealing, labelling, and reject systems across your packaging line.
Kegging Systems
Compressed air for automated and semi-automated kegging equipment.
Tank Purging
Nitrogen generated from compressed air for tank purging, blanketing, and inerting to protect product quality.
Pneumatic Valves
Process control valves across brewing, fermentation, and packaging powered by compressed air.
Cleaning Systems
CIP (clean in place) systems and general cleaning using compressed air.
Where Breweries Get Compressed Air Wrong
Standard industrial compressors on product contact applications
Many breweries use standard oil-injected compressors where air contacts their product. Oil carry over into beer, cider, or soft drinks is a contamination risk most brewers have not assessed.
Running compressors far more than production requires
Many breweries run compressors 24/7 when production is intermittent. Matching your compressor run schedule to your actual brewing and packaging schedule can cut energy costs significantly.
PSSR obligations most brewery owners do not know about
If you have a compressor with an air receiver, PSSR almost certainly applies. Most craft brewery owners have never been told about the requirement for a written scheme of examination.
Clean Air for Great Beer
Airmech provides compressed air solutions tailored to beverage production. We understand where air contacts your product, where contamination risk is highest, and how to maintain your system to protect product quality.
We supply and maintain compressors sized for brewery demand patterns, provide filtration and drying for product contact applications, and handle PSSR compliance so you can focus on brewing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does our compressed air contact our product?
If compressed air is used anywhere in your brewing, fermentation, or packaging process where it touches beer, cider, or any beverage, that is product contact air. It needs to meet appropriate quality standards. We can map your contact points and assess your current setup.
Do we need oil-free compressed air?
It depends on your specific applications. For direct product contact, oil-free or heavily filtered oil-injected air is recommended. We assess your process and recommend the right level of filtration and treatment for each application.
Can you help us generate nitrogen on site?
Yes. On-site nitrogen generation from compressed air can replace delivered nitrogen for tank blanketing and purging at a fraction of the ongoing cost. We size and install nitrogen generation systems for brewery applications.
We are expanding. Can our compressor handle it?
We assess your current capacity against your expansion plans. If your compressor is undersized for future demand, we recommend right sized solutions with the data to support the investment decision.
