Technifab Releases New Liquid Nitrogen Injector

Technifab's new Liguid Nitrogen Injector is designed to reduce the space on the production line and minimize maintenance requirements.

When Cryoinfra had the need for a liquid nitrogen injector on a bottling line for a customer in Guadalajara, Mexico they chose the new Techinjector™ from Technifab Products, supplied by MBI Cryogenics, to solve their customer’s problem.

The Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottles on the line needed pressurization to resist collapsing during shipping and storage. The bottling line application was a challenge. Cold water and hot juice filled bottles run down the same line at different times. Liquid nitrogen injection on the unique cold water / hot juice line had not been attempted before because of the mixture of products.

The Techinjector™ control panel, which allows multiple settings to be stored for the same bottling line, can make the switch between different products quickly to meet customer demands. The ability to adjust the amount of injected nitrogen to compensate for different container fluid temperatures was a key to the successful operation.

Cryoinfra was also attracted to the ease of maintenance that the Technifab Techinjector™ offers; a key difference from competing products. The compact injector’s modular design allows components to be switched out in minutes for routine maintenance, minimizing production delays. Fernando Trejo and Flavio Hernandes of Cryoinfra noted that they were impressed not only with the Techinjector™ performance but also with Technifab’s outstanding service in helping to install the unit.
