Nitrogen Shrouding
Nitrogen shrouding of food steel tanks and containers oxidation is an essential step to prevent oxidation of its contents (deoxygenation).This step is usually performed in a nitrogenisation chamber.
This is particularly the case for vitamins and powders containers in general,or even wine (or grapes) containers in the wine industry.
This inerting system makes it possible to make a primary vacuum and to process several containers simultaneously. Nitrogen pumping and pressurization cycles are automated and managed by an automated system.
Key Assets:
- High capacity
- Ergonomics of use
- Outstanding usability of critical constituents
- Process Automation
- Simplicity
- Efficiency
- Quality of vacuum components and mechanics
- ATEX configuration
[1] These values are measured on real manufactured equipment and are given for a guidance as they depend on the final configuration of each equipment. Limit vacuum after bake-out.
Configuration example
Chamber Volume | 1800 litres |
Chamber vacuum limit (turbo pumping) | 30 mbar[1] |
Heat Chamber Heating | Heating rings with upper airflow |
Nitrogen Pressurization | Overpressurization (>Patm) |
Automatic Equipment Control | 1- Simple version with PLC/LCD display Independence of heat chambers 2-Touch-sensitive screen version with full machine control with real-time dynamic synoptic, operator/maintenance/methods access level, event log, etc. |
