HWC Hydraulics & Equipment successfully delivered a custom-built JN20009 Nitrogen Booster Station, enabling a valued customer to improve operational efficiency, maximize nitrogen usage, and minimize gas waste.
Key Features and Capabilities
- Maximizes Gas Usage: Reclaims residual nitrogen from partially depleted cylinders, boosting pressure up to a usable 250 bar.
- 100% Air-Driven: Powered entirely by standard shop compressed air, eliminating the need for electrical connections or electronic controllers.
- High-Performance Heart: Powered by a Maximator DLE 30 double-acting gas booster featuring a 1:30 pressure ratio.
- Durable Construction: Built into a compact, stainless-steel console with a lockable hinged lid supported by dual gas struts.
- Front-Panel Controls: Intuitive front layout featuring three clear pressure gauges for quick monitoring and manual control valves for safe operation.
By extracting leftover gas that would otherwise be returned unused, the system provides a safer, more economical solution for high-pressure nitrogen supply in demanding industrial environments.
