How Does a Nitrogen Generator MAP System Work?

Have you ever wondered how food and beverage products maintain their freshness, flavor, and quality throughout storage and transportation? 

What keeps packaged products protected from oxygen exposure and premature spoilage?

For many manufacturers, the answer lies in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) and the use of a reliable nitrogen supply. While traditional packaging operations have depended on delivered nitrogen cylinders or bulk nitrogen tanks, more businesses are turning to nitrogen generator MAP systems to produce their own nitrogen directly on-site.

How Does a Nitrogen Generator MAP System Work?

Traditionally, businesses have relied on delivered nitrogen cylinders or bulk nitrogen tanks for
packaging applications. However, a nitrogen generator allows facilities to produce their own nitrogen supply directly on-site.

The process is simple:

1. Compressed air enters the nitrogen generator.
2. The system separates nitrogen from oxygen and other gases.
3. High-purity nitrogen is delivered directly to packaging equipment.
4. The nitrogen-filled package helps protect the product during storage and transportation.

This gives manufacturers a consistent, cost-effective nitrogen supply without relying on outside deliveries. Learn more in our latest article.
