Introduction to Food Industry Nitrogen Charging

Nitrogen gas has unique benefits in food packaging: it does not react chemically with food or get absorbed by it. It reduces the oxygen and water content within the packaging, significantly inhibiting the growth and reproduction of bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms. This slows down the oxidation, spoilage, and decay of food, thus preserving freshness. Nitrogen packaging also effectively prevents food from being crushed, sticking together, or clumping, maintaining the food's shape, dryness, crispness, color, and flavor. Currently, nitrogen packaging is rapidly replacing traditional vacuum packaging and is used in the food industry for meat products, fruit and vegetable chips, fried potato chips and fries, and oil-cooked foods, among others.

Methods for Selecting a Nitrogen Generator

Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) nitrogen generators, using carbon molecular sieve as adsorbent, represent an advanced gas separation technology irreplaceable in on-site gas supply worldwide. They are widely used across various industries. With hundreds of nitrogen generation companies in existence, selecting a high-performance nitrogen generator is a primary challenge for many customers. While nitrogen generator selection involves numerous considerations, careful analysis, comparison, and focus on key aspects will lead to satisfactory results.

Application of PSA pressure swing adsorption nitrogen generators in SMT welding

In recent years, with the increasing demand for the quality of welding products and the increasingly stringent national environmental protection requirements, lead-free welding has become widely popular. Inert nitrogen welding has been favored for its ability to improve product quality. Although the purchase of nitrogen atmosphere requires a certain amount of investment, it is much lower than the cost of environmental protection and rework due to welding defects. Therefore, the role of inert nitrogen atmosphere in SMT welding is increasingly valued and will gradually be accepted and widely used. However, the cost of using nitrogen depends largely on the flow rate, operating hours, reflow oven structure, and production process, and the choice of nitrogen source is even more important.
