Buy nitrogen from outside or produce it yourself on site? Have you ever asked yourself this question? Here are 5 very good reasons why switching from supplier to in-house production is worthwhile.
1. Independence from nitrogen suppliers for laser cutting
As you can see, flexibility is without doubt the most important advantage of in-house nitrogen production. The nitrogen generators are not subject to any contractual conditions and are completely self-sufficient. There is therefore no risk of delivery bottlenecks, and therefore no possible delay in supply. A problem that is well known to disrupt the production process of manufacturers.
2. A possible saving of up to 80% on the purchase of your cutting gas
Yes, you read that right. In addition to being self-sufficient, your generator can provide significant economies of scale, sometimes as much as 80%. This is because costs and time spent on the procurement process are eliminated, so your laser cutting nitrogen costs you much less.
3. Quick payback for your nitrogen generator
Low payback periods: The system pays for itself in less than 2 years - depending on your N2 needs, required purity, electricity costs and your current costs for nitrogen supply.
4. Pure nitrogen for laser cutting
For CO2 laser cutting machines with power ratings of 4kW and above, it may be necessary to have N2 pressurisation for the optical path, which is no longer a problem with a nitrogen generator. Indeed, current machines are capable of producing nitrogen with a purity level of 6.0.
Moreover, thanks to the nitrogen generators, there is no longer a problem of excessive consumption even when production is stopped. As you can see, you no longer consume nitrogen for nothing, which allows you to continue making significant economies of scale.
5. Immediate availability
Finally, the main advantage of all this in-house production is undoubtedly the flexibility in production. With an in-house nitrogen generator, you have a constant supply of nitrogen at your disposal, so you never have to run to suppliers if your delivery is delayed. You are your own supplier!
In conclusion
As you can see, we at SERVILASE are firm believers in in-house nitrogen production with the latest generation of nitrogen generators. Since a few months, we are proud to represent a very promising manufacturer of nitrogen generators in Germany. Namely the Mader company.
