MAXIGAS nitrogen generator from Parker domnick hunter delivers major cost saving for Ringtons

An innovative, on-demand MAXIGAS nitrogen gas generation system, manufactured by the Parker domnick hunter Industrial Division of Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, is providing significant cost savings and improvements in operating efficiency at Ringtons, the family owned specialists of high quality teas and coffees.

Established in 1907, Ringtons has enjoyed continual growth and attributes its success to an unrivalled taste and freshness, which is facilitated by a special modified atmosphere packaging process.

This process uses inert nitrogen to extend the shelf life of products and, for many years, the company operated a membrane system to meet its nitrogen requirements. However, with hire charges of around £11k per annum plus additional gas costs, the company identified the opportunity to save costs and therefore selected a MAXIGAS nitrogen generator system.

Compact MAXIGAS generators produce nitrogen gas from compressed air via the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) method using carbon molecular sieve (CMS) regenerative technology. Offering reliability, efficiency and a constant, controlled nitrogen flow and pressure, the generators are a cost-effective solution for nitrogen supply with an exceptionally low lifecycle ownership cost.

The Factory Manager at Ringtons comments, “The decision to install the MAXIGAS nitrogen generators from Parker domnick hunter was simple. The system offered us an on-demand supply with substantial benefits with regards to running costs, reliability, purity and capacity.”

Installed in July 2007 at the Ringtons site in Longbenton, Newcastle Upon Tyne, the nitrogen generators complement other Parker domnick hunter products which are also operational at the site such as OIL-X EVOLUTION and PNEUDRI compressed air filters and dryers respectively.

The Factory Manager continues, “To-date we are extremely pleased with the generators which were supplied to us by one of domnick hunter’s key distributors Airchannel.”

MAXIGAS and MIDIGAS nitrogen gas generators are suitable for various applications in multiple industries and are backed by Parker domnick hunter’s global network of manufacturing, sales and customer support centres, providing full service, spares and applications expertise. Optional preventative maintenance contracts are also available.

In addition to nitrogen, Parker domnick hunter also offers pre-treatment solutions such as OIL-X EVOLUTION compressed air filters and PNEUDRI adsorption dryers to provide compressed air to ISO 8573-1:2001 air quality standards. Sterile gas in addition to polishing solutions which ensure beverage-grade carbon dioxide remains within specification, are also available.
