A metal fabrication company near Toledo, Ohio, was looking for ways to reduce operating costs at their 20,000-square-foot manufacturing facility. Their continuous improvement team identified frequent nitrogen deliveries as an opportunity for savings and contacted CGT to evaluate their existing process.
After reviewing their application, we recommended a membrane nitrogen generator for their CO2 laser beam purge. The system offered an alternative to recurring nitrogen deliveries while supporting their single-shift operation.
The equipment was purchased and installed in January 2022, with a projected return on investment of 15 months and estimated annual savings of $7,500. The system has continued operating since installation.
