Industrial Gas Compressors for Food, Beverage, and Hospitality

High-Purity Gas Compression for carbon dioxide beverage applications, helium balloon-gas filling, gas transfer, storage, and cylinder filling.

PDC Machines provides diaphragm compressors and integrated compression packages for carbon dioxide and helium used across beverage production, food service, hospitality, entertainment, and various consumer-facing industrial gas markets.

Our compressors support beverage-grade CO₂ transfer and filling, helium balloon-gas supply, cylinder and bundle filling, high-pressure storage, and gas recovery applications.

Each system is engineered around the gas composition, purity, pressure, flow, operating duty, and downstream use.

How Are Industrial Gases Used in Food, Beverage and Hospitality?

Industrial gases play an important role behind many familiar consumer products and experiences.

Carbon dioxide is used to create carbonation in beverages and may also be transferred, stored, or filled into cylinders for distribution to restaurants, breweries, bottling facilities, entertainment venues, and food-service customers.

Helium is supplied in cylinders and other containers for balloons used at events, hospitality venues, retail locations, and promotional activities.

Compression connects the industrial gas supply with storage, packaging, transportation, and final distribution.


Where PDC Fits: Gas Compression Is Our Scope

PDC Machines supplies the diaphragm compressor and, where required, the integrated compression package used within a larger gas-production, transfer, filling, storage, or distribution system.

Depending on the project, PDC can provide:

  • Bare diaphragm compressor units
  • Skid-mounted gas-compression packages
  • Helium and CO₂ transfer systems
  • Cylinder and bundle filling compression
  • High-pressure storage filling
  • Gas recovery and recycle compression
  • Packages with piping, controls, instrumentation, and cooling
  • Application engineering and compressor sizing
  • Spare parts, field service, training, and refurbishment

We work with industrial gas companies, beverage-gas suppliers, equipment packagers, bottling operations, gas distributors, and system integrators.


Compression for the industrial gas supply chain

PDC supports the equipment used to compress, transfer, store, and fill helium and carbon dioxide before those gases reach the hospitality, beverage, or leisure customer.



Applications We Support

PDC Machines provides diaphragm compressors and integrated compression packages for gas applications supporting gas-production, transfer, filling, storage, or distribution system.

Beverage Carbonation


Carbon dioxide is used to create carbonation in beverages by dissolving into the liquid under controlled pressure.

PDC compression systems may support the broader CO₂ supply infrastructure used for:

  • Industrial gas production and processing
  • Gas transfer
  • High-pressure storage
  • Cylinder filling
  • Bundle filling
  • Gas distribution
  • Beverage-grade CO₂ packaging
  • Recovery or reuse applications
Helium Balloon Gas

PDC compressors may support the industrial gas infrastructure used to:

  • Recompress helium for storage or redistribution
  • Transfer helium from bulk or intermediate storage
  • Fill high-pressure cylinders
  • Fill cylinder bundles
  • Consolidate residual gas
  • Recover helium from suitable processes
Cylinder Filling and Gas Distribution

Industrial gas companies and beverage-gas suppliers distribute helium and carbon dioxide in:

  • Individual cylinders
  • Cylinder bundles
  • High-pressure storage vessels
  • Bulk containers
  • Customer-specific gas packages

PDC diaphragm compressors can support gas transfer and filling where oil-free operation, containment, gas purity, and high-pressure capability are required.


Why PDC Machines’ Diaphragm Compression?

Oil-Free Gas Handling

Metallic diaphragms isolate the process gas from the hydraulic system, helping prevent oil contamination of high-purity and beverage-related gases.

High Gas Purity

Oil-free compression and appropriate gas-wetted materials help maintain gas quality for downstream processing and distribution.

Leak-Tight Containment

The diaphragm design helps contain valuable gases such as helium and supports controlled handling of industrial carbon dioxide.

High-Pressure Capability

PDC compressors can support storage filling, gas transfer, cylinder filling, and other high-pressure distribution applications.

PDC can provide:

  • Customer communication interfaces
  • Bare compressor units
  • Packaged compression skids
