Nitrogen is presently used in a wide variety of industries for its various benefits. See below for a small sample of industries where nitrogen has been extremely beneficial.
FOOD PACKING
- Inert atmosphere packaging extends shelf life and minimizes both spoilage and moisture migration.
- Prevents insect invasion and/or growth.
LASER CUTTING
- Superb ROI in the competitive environment of a metal fabrication shop.
- N2 eliminates the oxide edges during laser cutting.
- Systems are sized to handle both beam pathway purge and assist gas for all laser powers.
METAL FABRICATION
- Purging during S/S welding.
- Eliminate oxide edges during laser cutting.
HEAT TREATMENT
- Pressurized furnaces utilize a high volume of N2.
- Inert atmosphere prevents many undesirable oxidizing processes from occurring.
