Atlas Copco, a leading manufacturer and provider of innovative nitrogen technology, will be showcasing its NG series of advanced nitrogen generators at this year's Pro2Pac exhibition. The NG Series of modular units is designed to provide a continuous, reliable and independent source of on-site nitrogen generation at the lowest possible cost for food and drink processing and packaging applications.
Visitors to the stand will learn that the installation of NG nitrogen generators eliminates the associated costs of conventional supply routes and provides continuous, secure availability of a nitrogen supply of the desired purity, from 3% to 0.001% oxygen content. What's more, on-site generation eliminates the potential risk of production breakdown, due to gas supplies running out, and provides an independent source of nitrogen with the added benefits of low operating expenses and minimal maintenance costs.
Based on Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology employing a carbon molecular sieve to separate oxygen from the air supply, Atlas Copco's latest NG series provide a continuous flow of nitrogen from 1.3 up to 130 Nm3/h. NG generators require nothing but a supply of dry compressed air to begin generating a constant flow of nitrogen and need no specialist installation or commissioning.
Oil-free compressed air solutions will also be a feature on the Pro2Pac stand. Relevant to on-site nitrogen generation, many major food and drink processing operations rely on a supply of clean, dry compressed air from Atlas Copco's Z-series of oil-free compressors. These machines are certificated under ISO 8573-1 Class 0 standard to ensure zero risk of oil contamination within the compressed air supply to sensitive process procedures and where air comes in contact with food.
