How is a nitrogen gas generators used for packaging pet foods, treats, and birdseed?
Nitrogen gas generators are used in pet food packaging to preserve the freshness, taste, color, and texture of the food or treats for our furry little friend. Gas flushing with nitrogen is the process of displacing the residual oxygen and moisture in the bag.
How does gas flushing pet food with nitrogen work?
The pet foods, treats, or seeds are placed in the new bag or container. The nitrogen generator produces food grade nitrogen on demand for the packaging machine. The packaging machine then blows the gas into the package right before being sealed. This process replaces the air/oxygen/moisture inside the container with clean, dry, food grade nitrogen gas.
Why buy a nitrogen generator when I can get nitrogen delivered?
Nitrogen gas generators for pet food packaging are one of the easiest ways to reduce your cost of operation. A nitrogen generator can produce the gas on average of 1/10th the cost of delivered gas. The average payback on a nitrogen generator is 12 to 14 months. You are also not locked into a long-term contract or must worry about late deliveries and running out of gas.
