Atlas Copco Hits Trade Show Floor at the 2022 Craft Beverage Expo

Atlas Copco Compressors will be exhibiting at the Craft Beverage Expo 2022, March 8-9, in Louisville, KY. Atlas Copco will be demonstrating the benefits of nitrogen, air and vacuum solutions that were designed to work together, and to bring significant benefits to customers. A special focus of the show will be to showcase on-site nitrogen generation, including the applications where nitrogen can replace CO2. Nitrogen offers breweries many advantages and is ideal for several applications throughout the brewing process. On-site nitrogen extraction using a generator provides breweries the ability to produce the required quantities of inert gas itself – removing the need to rely on CO2, and offering significant cost savings as well.

When purging tanks between uses, utilizing nitrogen makes the tank oxygen-free; it keeps wort, beer, and residual mash from oxidizing and contaminating the next batch of beer. For similar reasons, nitrogen can be used to push beer from one tank to the next. Lastly, in the brewing process's final stages, nitrogen is the ideal gas for cleaning, inerting, and pressurizing kegs, bottles, and cans before filling. 

“We offer six standard nitrogen and air compressor packages designed for this market,” said Paul Humphreys, Vice President, Communications and Branding at Atlas Copco Compressors. “By switching to on-site nitrogen generation, producers can significantly improve production, greatly reduce their carbon footprint and save a lot of money.”

The Craft Beverage Expo and Distribution Conference is the curated event focused on small-batch beverages. The exhibition and full conference aims to show attendees a step-by-step guide to formulate a solid distribution plan with the help of experts who know the craft business inside and out. The 3-day agenda also features a day on Women in Craft, which focuses on topics unique to women in the craft beverage industry.
