Without liquid nitrogen, short shelf life Inerting delicate products in modified atmosphere applications
  • Extends products shelf life
  • Maintains product taste, color and freshness
  • Reduces oxygen absorption by product
The NITRODOSE system has been developed to meet these requirements and cut cost at the same time by providing a precise charge of liquid nitrogen.

How does a NITRODOSE system work?

A precisely timed drop of liquid nitrogen is being dosed into the head space above the beverage of a bottle/can after filling and before sealing/capping. The cold liquid nitrogen (-196°C) turns into nitrogen gas at room temperature and expands rapidly (1 g of liquid nitrogens yields 850 ml of nitrogen gas). With the bottle being capped at a certain time after dosing, this process will create a defined internal pressure in the bottle/can.

With liquid nitrogen, long shelf life
Applications
Filling of vegetable oils, dairy products, wine, fruit juices,...
Packaging of snacks, vegetables,...
Advantages
  • Drastically reduced oxygen content in a container
  • Product stays fresh for a longer time, increased shelf life
  • Consistent pressure from container to container to ensure no deformation of container
  • Reduction of packaging weight
  • Very low consumption of liquid nitrogen
  • Nitrogen is completly inert and is accepted in the food and beverage industry.
    It is totally tasteless and odourless.
