On-site Nitrogen Generators Improve Electronics Manufacturing

Nitrogren Gas in Electronics Manufacturing

In today’s world of electronics manufacturing, it’s all about using surface mount technology. Not only are these devices safer and easier to produce than their leaded predecessors, they also perform better—as long as they are created under the right conditions. That’s where nitrogen gas generators from On Site Gas Systems comes in.

Why Nitrogen Gas for Electronics Manufacturing?

It’s no secret that the manufacturing of electronics is complex, and the process requires precision—there is no room for error. Nitrogen gas works to ensure this perfection is achieved in three ways:

  • Maintains the Ideal Atmosphere – Electronics manufacturing calls for a very specific temperature and environment to work successfully. With nitrogen gas, both can be achieved and sustained throughout the entire workday.
  • Produces Crisper Results – Pure nitrogen gas is also required in electronics manufacturing to ensure sharp finishes. It cuts down on the amount of dross that is formed in the soldering process, while also reducing surface tension to allow the solder to cleanly break away.
  • Prevents Oxidation – In convection reflow and selective soldering, nitrogen gas is crucial in order to eliminate the oxygen from the air, otherwise oxidation can occur, which weakens the solder. With nitrogen gas, the amount of oxygen is greatly reduced so the integrity of the solder can remain intact.

Why an On-site Nitrogen Generator?

The need for nitrogen gas in electronics manufacturing is clear, and when you break it down, so is the need for an on-site nitrogen generator from On Site Gas Systems. Here’s why:

  • Eliminates Dependency – When electronics manufacturers need nitrogen gas, they oftentimes rely on the delivery of nitrogen gas. However, this causes them to be dependent on someone else for their supply, and it usually requires a contract. With an on-site nitrogen gas generator from On Site Gas Systems, electronics manufacturing companies are able to produce their own nitrogen gas supply. This means they will always have it available when they need it and they don’t have to worry about the logistics of getting nitrogen gas cylinders or N2 bottles
  • An On-Site N2 Generator Reduces Expenses – It is true that there is an upfront cost to get an on-site nitrogen generator from On Site Gas Systems, but even the Surface Mount Technology Association believes that it is well worth it. Since the nitrogen gas improves the quality of the electronics manufacturing tenfold, there are fewer repairs needed. You can further increase your saving by generating your Nitrogen On Site and On Demand. After a short time, the on-site nitrogen generator will pay for itself by greatly reducing the amount spent for your nitrogen needs.

An on-site nitrogen gas generator from On Site Gas Systems is ideal for use in electronics manufacturing. Not only does it improve the quality of the product and the efficiency of the facility, it also eliminates the need for nitrogen gas deliveries.

How NAPP Put a Nitrogen Generator to Work to Increase Their Productivity and Profitability

How NAPP Put a Nitrogen Generator to Work to Increase Their Productivity and ProfitabilityOftentimes, you don’t realize the value in something until you experience it for yourself. That is why we created our demo program, which allows companies to test out our nitrogen generators before fully investing in them.
Recently, Natural American Pet Products (which has since been acquired by Dogswell), a premier pet food packager in the United States, embarked on their path to nitrogen gas freedom by giving our nitrogen generator demo program a try.
Here’s their story…

NAPP’s Experience with a Nitrogen Generator

Natural American Pet Products (NAPP) was curious to test the ROI of an On Site Gas nitrogen generator at their pet food plant. Shortly after our first contact, we installed a nitrogen generator on-site at their Missouri facility. The rest is history.

  • Within 30 days of the demo nitrogen generator being delivered, NAPP purchased the unit outright.
  • Within 60 days of installing the nitrogen generator, NAPP sent back all of their nitrogen gas cylinders and LN2 dewars (and they don’t miss all the logistics that go along with them).
  • After five months, they had recouped all of the costs of the nitrogen generator.

Their Missouri facility now produces all of their nitrogen gas on-site using our nitrogen generator.

How a Nitrogen Generator Can Work for You

It’s easy to see why NAPP converted to solely using a nitrogen generator for their nitrogen gas needs. They were able to produce their own nitrogen gas when their production demanded it, and they didn’t have to deal with the deliveries and storage of nitrogen gas cylinders. This had a profound impact on their productivity.
Additionally, an on-site nitrogen generator allowed them to increase their profits drastically. Instead of the ongoing costs associated with nitrogen gas cylinders, they were able to pay for the nitrogen generator outright after five short months. Now, they have minimal overhead expenses for their nitrogen supply, and little-to-no maintenance to worry about.
