Cryogenic Nitrogen For Food Packaging
Cryogenic air separation technology is a proven method for producing high-purity nitrogen, especially suited for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), cold-chain preservation, and rapid freezing in food processing. By compressing, purifying, and cooling air to about −190°C, oxygen and nitrogen are precisely separated to achieve food-grade purity and long-term stability.
Our system provides continuous and secure cryogenic nitrogen for food packaging, helping food manufacturers extend shelf life, prevent oxidation, and maintain product quality throughout distribution, while ensuring strong reliability and energy performance.
Working Principle & System Structure
The cryogenic separation process is based on fractional distillation:
Air compression
2. Pre-cooling and CO₂/H₂O removal
3. Deep refrigeration and liquefaction
4. Oxygen-nitrogen-argon separation in distillation columns
5. Liquid nitrogen or gaseous nitrogen storage and delivery
Main equipment modules include:
- Air compressor
- Molecular sieve purification system
- Plate-fin heat exchanger
- High-efficiency distillation column
- Liquid nitrogen storage tank & vaporizer
- Nitrogen buffer tank & distribution pipeline
The modular structure supports both LIN and high-purity gaseous N₂, customized to the requirements of automated food packaging lines.
