Nitrogen Generation

Graham Ackerman, Ackerman Engineering

“We were on a fortnightly gas delivery schedule and if we ran out early we incurred high costs due to machine downtime and charges for rearranged delivery. With in-house nitrogen generation we are able to achieve continuous use of our laser”

“It is now economic for us to use nitrogen on more jobs, which produces a much better edge quality, cuts down on edge cleaning for subsequent welding or painting operations, and results in happier customers”


Westley Hamer, WRES Ltd

“When cutting thick material we were often performing 30 minute gas bank changes every 90 minutes. With the MSS nitrogen generator we can run without interruption and the gas is also far cheaper”

“MSS set up the system and carried out trail cuts in one day. The equipment is very low maintenance and it is clear that laser cutting is well understood by the company”


John Roche, Border Precision

“With one laser machine our payback was less than three years, now that we have a second machine the payback is even shorter”

“The modular gas generation unit was an important factor, ensuring that the system would be able to grow alongside our requirements”


Martin Cook – Cutting technologies

“We’ve run solely on the nitrogen generator since November 2005 and have had no customer complaints due to edge quality, no breakdowns, no “gas-outs” and never had to supplement the generator output with bottled nitrogen. In other words, the generator has done exactly what it says on the tin”.
