The food industry is a complex and a global collective of small, medium & large diverse businesses that supplies the food consumed by the world’s population and follows the strictly applied policies & procedures when it comes to processing, converting, preparation, preservation and packaging of food items and food grade nitrogen gas plays a vital role in keeping the end product fresh until it reaches the consumer.
Advantages of using food grade & high purity nitrogen gas
- Food items packed with nitrogen gets the extended shelf life.
- Minimizes the end product spoilage by displacing moisture & oxygen.
- Provides pressurized atmosphere to prevent package collapse.
- Protects the nutrients and prevents the aerobic microbial growth.
Traditional Source of Nitrogen Gas vs Generating Nitrogen Gas Onsite
A lot of small, medium and large sized food manufacturing companies across North America are still buying nitrogen gas in high pressure cylinders or in liquid nitrogen tanks which is a lot more costly option (45 -70 % costlier) when compared to generating your own nitrogen gas onsite. Air Power Products is helping customers to understand the benefits of generating high purity food grade nitrogen gas onsite and having the control of gas supply 24/7 and how it saves a big chunk of money which companies can instead spend on R&D activities, hiring more work force, marketing & machinery etc.
Air Power Products has recently launched its high purity PSA twin tower & field expandable modular nitrogen generating systems (designed & manufactured in Canada) which are a perfect fit for food packaging. We are helping customers understand their current daily gas usage by auditing the gas supply & associated expenses and then present with a rightly sized system for their facility that can generate sufficient high purity nitrogen gas 24/7 and on demand. We also create a ROI chart that explains how much customer is currently spending for the nitrogen gas vs how much they would spend initially for buying the equipment, its annual running & maintenance cost. ROI chart also explains the payback time and the monthly or yearly savings that the company would make after switching to our onsite gas generating system.
