The domnick hunter Industrial Division of Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, will be showcasing some of its latest energy and cost saving technology at Total Process & Packaging 2010, the UK’s leading integrated processing and packaging exhibition, held on 25th – 27th May at NEC Birmingham. On show at this year’s event will be a selection of the company’s cost effective industrial nitrogen gas generators that have been proven to increase productivity and profitability in the process and packaging sectors.
In particular, the company will be exhibiting its latest MIDIGAS and MAXIGAS onsite nitrogen gas generators, designed to provide alternatives to traditional nitrogen sources. These proven technologies are ideal for use in a wide range of applications in the process and packaging industry including modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), purging, blanketing and pressure transfer.
Producing on demand nitrogen gas from compressed air onsite, the high performance MIDIGAS and MAXIGAS ranges are suitable for small to medium and medium to large nitrogen requirements respectively. Perhaps most importantly, this eliminates the need for traditional and expensive gas storage cylinders, dewars or bulk storage. As a result, customers using the gas generators can make significant reductions in the cost of using nitrogen, with a fast payback on a generator of between 12 and 24 months, and ongoing savings of up to 90% thereafter.
In addition, the on demand functionality of the MIDIGAS and MAXIGAS generators allows users to overcome the environmental issues associated with road transport of bottled gas and the unpredictability of fluctuating gas prices, while operating from a small compressor facilitates low energy consumption.
The systems are fully automatic, making it easy to setup and operate, with the production of nitrogen being determined by the demands of downstream processes. This greater degree of control helps to limit waste and reduce overall energy consumption, while considerably extending the operating life of the unit, which is typically in excess of ten years. Similarly, maintenance costs are low, with only routine maintenance required, while the modular design of the MIDIGAS and MAXIGAS systems enables the installation to be extended as and when nitrogen requirements increase.
