How to Choose Co2 Cylinder Correctly?

2025-09-26

In the catering industry and food processing field, co2 cylinder can make carbonated beverages, beer and other beverages. Choosing a suitable cylinder will affect the taste of the drink and also affect production safety. So, in the face of all kinds of products on the market, how can we make the right choice?

 

Introduction of co2 cylinder:

Co2 cylinder is a container used to store food-grade carbon dioxide. Unlike industrial-grade cylinders, co2 cylinder needs to meet strict hygiene standards and safety requirements. Such cylinders are usually made of aluminum alloy or special steel, and the interior is specially treated to ensure that the purity of carbon dioxide is not polluted.

 

How to choose co2 cylinder correctly?

1. Regular co2 cylinderwill clearly mark the words "Beverage grade applicable", and a test report will be attached to prove that the material and inner wall treatment of the bottle body meet the food contact standards, so as to reduce the production of harmful substances after carbon dioxide comes into contact with the bottle body, which affects the safety of beverages.

2. It also depends on the capacity, and it must be selected according to the usage scenario. In places with large quantities such as milk tea shops and coffee shops, co2 cylinder with a capacity of 20 pounds is very suitable. It does not need to be inflated frequently. If it is homemade sparkling water at home, you can choose a capacity of 10 pounds or less, which is very convenient to carry.

3. Material is also very important. Choose a cylinder made of aluminum alloy, which is much lighter than ordinary cylinders, very labor-saving to carry, and has an oxide film on the surface, which is not easy to rust, and there is no need to worry about carbon dioxide pollution for long-term use.

4. Finally, we must choose regular brands and channels, and let the merchants present the production license and quality inspection report when purchasing, so that the use is guaranteed.

How co2 cylinder works:

The working principle of co2 cylinder is to use high pressure to compress and store carbon dioxide gas in a closed cylinder. The pressure in the bottle is usually maintained within a certain range. The valve must be opened when used. The high-pressure carbon dioxide will be reduced by the pressure reducing device, and then stably transported to the beverage making equipment. After carbon dioxide is incorporated into the drink, delicate air bubbles will form, making the drink taste more refreshing. The inner wall of the co2 cylinder bottle has been specially treated so that it will not react with carbon dioxide and will not release impurities. It can ensure that the carbon dioxide output is pure and does not affect the taste and safety of the drink.

 

Co2 cylinder application:

1. In the catering industry, milk tea shops and coffee shops use 20Lb co2 cylinder to make sparkling milk tea and sparkling American style.

2. 20Lb co2 cylinder in craft breweries can increase the sense of bubbles.

3. Carbonated beverage machines in fast food restaurants also need 20Lb co2 cylinder to provide a stable source of carbon dioxide.

4. In the household, more and more people use 20Lb co2 cylinder to make their own sparkling water, which is healthy and delicious with fruits and honey.

 

How to improve the safe use factor of 20Lb co2 cylinder?

Check the 20Lb co2 cylinder regularly to see if the bottle body is damaged or corroded before each use, and whether the valve can be switched on and off normally. If a problem is found, stop using it immediately. When storing, store in a cool, dry and ventilated place, away from fire and heat sources, and not exposed to the sun. Note: We must remember the service life of the cylinder. Expired cylinders cannot be used anymore, and we need to find a professional organization for scrap treatment.

 

Conclusion:

The correct choice of 20Lb co2 cylinder must pay attention to qualification, capacity, material and channel, so as to ensure the safety of drinks and the safety of use. The 20Lb co2 cylinder we produce is of reliable quality and complete categories, which can meet the needs of different users.
