Nitralife’s custom-made, South African-manufactured nitrogen generators are tailored to suit your application, give you full control: high-purity nitrogen, on demand, where and when you need it. Forget gas deliveries, reduce costs and run safer, uninterrupted operations – whether you are welding, cutting, inflating tyres or packaging food.
Why choose on-site nitrogen generation?
Reliable, safe, scalable and cost-effective: Nitralife ‘plug-and-play’ nitrogen generators give you uninterrupted, high-purity nitrogen right where you need it, cutting out delivery delays, cost fluctuations and gas storage risks as follows:
Reliability
Nitralife nitrogen generators use polymer membrane separators with no electricity required and minimal moving parts. Our generators are built to run at a 100% duty cycle in high temperatures and in the harshest conditions. Generate your own nitrogen no matter where you are!
Safety
Generating nitrogen on demand and on site removes the hazards of handling and storing high-pressure cylinders or bulk liquid nitrogen, reducing workplace risk and simplifying compliance.
Availability
On-site nitrogen generation gives you full independence from external industrial gas suppliers. Our nitrogen generators are built for non-stop operation and have immediate start-up times. That means no downtime due to late deliveries, low tank levels or supply chain disruptions.
Flexibility
Nitralife nitrogen generators are modular, mobile (as required) and can be installed exactly where needed - supporting single-point use or facility-wide integration. Adjust purity and flow to fit each application, without paying for excess capacity.
Purity Control
Produce nitrogen at the precise purity your process requires. Lower-purity systems cost less -, so you only pay for the purity you need.
Cost-effectiveness
Producing nitrogen directly at your point of use is significantly more affordable than traditional supply methods. With minimal storage, no delivery fees, and low operating costs, our systems deliver a fast return-on-investment (ROI) – typically paying for themselves in less than a year!
Nitrogen gas applications
Tyre inflation - passenger, commercial and OTR / mining
From large open-cast mines to petrol station forecourts, our tyre inflation systems extend tyre life, improve fuel efficiency and reduce failures - reducing costs and increasing safety.
Laser Cutting and Plasma Cutting
Nitracut systems deliver a continuous, reliable supply of nitrogen assist gas for clean, precise and oxidation-free cutting. Solutions for high volume, 24/7, non-stop cutting or manufacturing high-purity, high-pressure nitrogen stored in cylinder packs for later use. Customised nitrogen generator options are available for beam path and nitrogen head cooling.
Food Preparation and Packaging
Keep food fresher, longer! Our Modified Atmospheric Packaging-ready systems ensure consistent nitrogen flow and purity, with optional mixing panels for custom gas blends.
Laboratories and Pharmaceutical
Protect sensitive materials with compact, point-of-use nitrogen generators which ensure purity and consistency in laboratories and clean-rooms.
Blanketing, Purging and Heat Treatment
Reduce fire risk and oxygen exposure in storage tanks and pipelines. Generate high-volume nitrogen on site - safely and affordably.
Spray Painting
Achieve a smoother, cleaner finish. Nitralife’s Nitraspray produces nitrogen as a carrier for spray painting: reducing over-spray, boosting paint transfer efficiency and cutting material waste, saving up to 10% on paint.
Laser welding
Nitraweld provides uninterrupted shielding gas supply - improving weld speed and quality, lowering costs, and eliminating the need for argon or nitrogen cylinders.
