Investment reduces nitrogen generation costs

With rising costs everywhere, we remain focused on continuous improvements to drive efficiency as much as possible.

We have upgraded our old nitrogen generator for the latest and most efficient technology - MSS Nitrocube 2 Eco.

Why do we use nitrogen?

  • We use it in our laser cutting process for the best edge quality
  • Cutting with high purity nitrogen gives the cleanest edge with the best paint adhesion
  • Alternatively, cutting with compressed air or oxygen leaves a carbon film on the cut edge which powder paint does not adhere to

Why do we generate nitrogen onsite as opposed to using transported liquid nitrogen?

  • Generating nitrogen gas onsite costs less per m3
  • Does not require road transport - Better for the environment
  • Generators do not waste gas unlike liquid systems

Why is the latest Nitrocube 2 Eco technology better?

  • More efficient generator reduces the cost per m3
  • More efficient generator technology produces more nitrogen for every Kw electricity used
  • Uses less compressed air in the process saving energy and compressor running costs
  • Can be programmed to operate only when lower cost night time energy rates are available
