Nitrogen dispensing and capping

(OP)
Does anyone know if thre are any standard machines for nitrogen dispensing and capping?
Thanks

RE: Nitrogen dispensing and capping

I would create a circuit N2 bottle battery feeding with own manual valve , connected by stiff piping to a PRV (pressure regulated valve) , PRV connected to your end vessel by flexible piping. You will have to have another flushing connection with a manual or pneumatic operated valve (PV) on your vessel , as far as possible from the PRV N2 inlet connection.

If your intent is merely to purge your vessel from ambiant enclosed air and keep a neutral N2 gas above the recipe your are preparing in your vessel , then a very light atmospheric overpressure setting of your PRV is enough to guarantee a good conditioning of your blanketing inside your vessel.

The procedure is to open the PV for a certain amount of time , the PRV will open and , after opening of the manual valve on the N2 bottle battery , the N2 will flow toward your vessel . The enclosed air will then be flushed out of your vessel through the PV opening , and after an amount of time choosen by you , you will command the PV to close.  The N2 pressure in your vessel will rise until it reaches the setting of the PRV , and the N2 feeding circuit will then be closed of by this PRV.  If your vessel doesn't leak , then your N2 consumption will be minimal , just the amount necessary to flush your vessel and keep it in overpressure. If your vessel is leak proof for the N2 overpressure you want to maintain in your vessel , your problem is solved.

If your vessel does leak hard (e.g. not fully closable) , then I would be very carefull to foresee good room ventilation against suffocation , because your PRV will start to regulate the N2 feeding toward your vessel , in order to keep the demanded overpressure and your PRV will stay open until the whole room is basically brought to the demanded N2 overpressure.

vahanyan:
What do you want to cap? Is it metal bottles like for instance deodorant sprays?
Is it is that, one of the manufacturers that I already worked with is Pamasol. I don't know if they also work with other packaging materials like plastic.
Please check in
