Onsite Gas

Purity On Demand for Soldering & Inert Atmosphere Applications

Onsite Gas nitrogen generators deliver flow rates from 10 to 75,000 SCFH and purity levels from 95% to 99.9995%.

• Broad Application Range – Supports selective soldering, wave soldering, reflow, brazing, and inert atmosphere processes.
• Nitrogen Atmosphere Benefits – Up to 80% dross reduction, support for lead-free alternatives, less rework, improved wetting, yield and quality, less voiding, reduced solder balls and icicling, and better thru-hole penetration.
• Process Control Advantages – Improved solder joint surface finish, tighter keep-away distances, increased process window, preserved soldering conditions, and better preheating and flux activation.
• Flexible Acquisition – Available to buy, rent, or lease, with systems made in the USA.

Compressed air enters one of two sieve beds filled with carbon molecular sieve (CMS). While the smaller oxygen molecules are adsorbed by the CMS, the larger nitrogen molecules pass through and are stored. Upon saturation, the first sieve bed releases the oxygen while the second bed starts the process over again, providing a continuous, uninterrupted nitrogen supply.

Producing gaseous nitrogen onsite costs a fraction of purchasing cylinders, dewars, or bulk delivery, with none of the ongoing overhead of outside supply.

Key Features:

• Fast Payback – Systems average less than an 18-month ROI, with no delivery fees, tank rental, long-term contracts, or price increases.
• Low Operating Cost – A low air-to-nitrogen ratio and minimal maintenance keep operating expenses down.
• Proven Reliability – Systems have operated for over 20 years in some of the most remote locations in the world.
• Lease/Rental Options – Write off the cost of a generator as an operating expense rather than capital.
