NITROGEN GENERATION FOR
MODIFIED ATMOSPHER
FOOD PACKAGING

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) is the process of using high purity nitrogen to eliminate oxygen from food packaging in order to prevent spoilage and preserve freshness. Food products like chips, nuts, dairy, produce, and meat all benefit from MAP when it comes to preserving quality and increasing shelf-life. For a process like MAP where there is a constant need for high purity nitrogen, investing in an on-site nitrogen generator can significantly reduce the costs and time associated with the packaging process.

BENEFITS OF MODIFIED ATMOSPHERE FOOD PACKAGING

  • Extends shelf life

  • Preserves quality & freshness

  • Stops growth of harmful bacteria

  • Stops the growth of harmful bacteria, mold, and fungi

Advantages of On-Site
Nitrogen Generation for MAP

  • Consistency & Reliability

    Generating the nitrogen needed for MAP on-site ensures there is always a consistent supply available to meet production demands

  • Flexibility

    Nitrogen generators can be adjusted to the purity and flow rate specifications required for different food products, so one unit can be used for multiple applications

  • Cost Savings

    On-site nitrogen generation is significantly more cost effective than acquiring bottled nitrogen from an industrial gas supplier

  • Convenient Supply

    Controlling your nitrogen supply eliminates cost fluctuations and production delays that may occur when relying on a nitrogen delivery service
