Food Grade Nitrogen Gas Generator

What is a Food Grade Nitrogen Generator?

A food grade nitrogen generator is considered by most regulations to be a system that produces 99% and higher nitrogen gas, or 1% or less residual oxygen. This means that most US-made nitrogen generators with proper filtration that produces at or above 99% are considered food grade. Our company has been supplying food grade nitrogen generators for over 22 years. We are the sole supplier to many of the world’s largest food packaging and processing companies. 

What purity of nitrogen is used in food packaging?

Most food packaging companies produce or use 99.5% pure nitrogen. Other companies that manufacture dairy and wine may opt for slightly higher purity of 99.9%. Coffee companies that package beans and pods use 99% to 99.5%.

How much does a Food Grade Nitrogen Generator Cost? 

Nitrogen generators range in price from $10,000 to $250,000. The hourly flow rate and purity decide how much the generator costs. If comparing two systems of the same flow, at 99.5% system could be half the cost of the same flow rate at 99.999%.
