Nitrogen Generator - 1 To 3

The EVER VIEW Nitrogen Generator - 1 To 3 series comprises three models—1 m³/h, 2 m³/h, and 3 m³/h—catering to low-flow and standard industrial nitrogen requirements. They are perfectly suited for use with single laser cutting machines or small production lines. Compared to large-scale nitrogen generation systems, this series features a compact structure, lower energy consumption, easy installation, and simple operation, serving as a key customized solution for small-to-medium factories looking to replace traditional outsourced nitrogen supplies.

The equipment integrates comprehensive compression, drying, filtration, separation, and gas storage systems. It generates high-purity nitrogen on-site using standard compressed air as feedstock, effectively preventing production downtime caused by external supply delays, gas shortages, or unstable pressure. All core components undergo rigorous industrial-grade testing to ensure stable operation and a low failure rate, reliably meeting the continuous production demands of the laser cutting and light manufacturing industries.

Working Principle

The Nitrogen Generator - 1 To 3 utilizes mature, industry-standard PSA technology. It exploits the differential adsorption characteristics of molecular sieves regarding oxygen and nitrogen in compressed air to rapidly separate the two gases under specific pressure and temperature conditions. The output gas undergoes multi-stage purification and pressure stabilization to meet the high-purity standards required for laser cutting and industrial protective applications. The system operates via a fully automated cycle, requiring no manual monitoring or intervention.

Each model in the EVER VIEW 1-3 series comes equipped with a standardized, comprehensive system to ensure a stable, high-quality gas supply:

1. Air Compressor Unit: Provides a steady supply of compressed air for nitrogen generation; features low noise, energy efficiency, and ample output.

2. Precision Drying System: Removes moisture from compressed air to prevent molecular sieve degradation and ensure gas dryness.

3. Multi-stage Filtration System: Filters out oil, dust, and fine impurities to maintain stable nitrogen purity.

4. PSA Nitrogen Separation Unit: The core component that enables efficient nitrogen-oxygen separation.

5. Nitrogen Buffer Tank: Stabilizes output pressure and flow, ensuring a consistent, fluctuation-free gas supply during laser cutting.

6. Intelligent Control System: Real-time monitoring of nitrogen purity, operating pressure, and equipment status, with automatic fault alerts.

Core Product Specifications

Key Advantages

1. On-site Nitrogen Generation: Eliminates Gas Supply Risks

The 1-3 series enables on-site, self-sufficient nitrogen generation, completely eliminating reliance on external gas suppliers. It resolves issues such as supply delays, shortages during peak seasons, and downtime caused by cylinder changes, significantly enhancing production autonomy and stability.

2. Significant Reduction in Long-term Gas Costs

For factories requiring continuous gas supply, the initial equipment investment replaces recurring costs associated with bottled nitrogen—such as purchasing, transportation, cylinder rental, and storage. User data confirms a reduction in total annual gas costs of over 40%, delivering substantial economic benefits.

3. Stable Gas Supply: Enhanced Cutting Quality

The intelligent pressure-stabilizing and purification system ensures consistent nitrogen purity and pressure. This effectively minimizes oxidation and burrs on the cut edges of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and galvanized sheets, resulting in smooth, clean cut surfaces, reducing the need for post-processing (grinding), and improving product yield rates.

4. Compact and Customizable: Suitable for Various Scenarios

The 1-3 series features a compact footprint and flexible installation options, making it ideal for small-to-medium-sized workshops with limited space. It supports customization of purity, flow rate, pressure, buffer tank capacity, voltage, and branding (logo), meeting diverse regional power standards and specific production requirements.

5. Smart, Low-Consumption, and Easy to Maintain

The Nitrogen Generator (1–3 Series) supports 24-hour fully automated operation without the need for dedicated personnel on-site. Its intelligent monitoring system provides automatic fault alarms; the unit is easy to maintain and incurs low long-term operating costs, perfectly aligning with the needs of modern factories for streamlined management.

Application Scenarios

The EVER VIEW 1–3 series is designed for industrial nitrogen applications requiring low flow rates and is widely suitable for various light industry and laser processing scenarios:

1. Fiber Laser Cutting: Auxiliary gas for cutting metals such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and galvanized sheet; ensures clean, oxidation-free cut surfaces.

2. Sheet Metal Processing: Stable gas supply for the daily operation of one or two small-to-medium-sized laser cutting machines.

3. Electronics Manufacturing: Nitrogen protection and purging for precision components to prevent oxidation damage.

4. Food Packaging: Nitrogen filling for freshness preservation and inert atmosphere packaging for food and beverages.

5. Light Industry & Chemicals: Inert gas protection for small-scale chemical experiments and production processes.

6. Auto Parts Processing: Auxiliary gas supply for precision cutting of small batches of automotive metal components.

Real-World Implementation Case

1. Case Background

A small sheet metal processing plant in Jiangsu specialized in small-batch cutting of stainless steel and aluminum alloy parts, utilizing a single 3kW fiber laser cutting machine. Before adopting this equipment, the factory relied on bottled nitrogen. High gas consumption during peak seasons necessitated frequent cylinder changes, easily causing production interruptions. Additionally, delayed gas deliveries often led to order backlogs. When combined with costs for gas purchases, cylinder rentals, and manual handling, the overall operating expenses were consistently high.

2. Customized Solution

The EVER VIEW technical team analyzed the factory's 8-hour workday, gas consumption rates, and cutting materials to recommend a 2 m³/h nitrogen generator from the 1–3 series. The system was customized to deliver 99.9% nitrogen purity at an operating pressure of 0.6 MPa, integrated with a standard drying and filtration system and a compact buffer gas tank.

3. Operational Performance

- More Stable Production: Enables 24-hour on-site nitrogen generation, completely eliminating downtime caused by gas shortages or cylinder changes, and increasing effective factory production time by 18%.

- Significantly Improved Quality: Stable, high-purity gas supply effectively reduces workpiece oxidation and burrs; the product yield rate rose from 92% to 99.5%, while the workload for subsequent grinding processes was reduced by 75%.

- Significant Cost Reduction: Based on 12 months of actual operation, the annual comprehensive gas cost dropped by 42%, eliminating extra expenses such as cylinder rental, transportation, and premiums for emergency gas purchases.

- Hassle-Free Management: No dedicated personnel needed for cylinder storage, replacement, or inventory, significantly easing workshop management pressure.

Customer feedback indicates that the EVER VIEW 1-3 series operates stably with a low failure rate. It perfectly suits the small-batch, multi-run production models of small and medium-sized laser cutting factories, fundamentally resolving key pain points like unstable gas supply and excessive costs.
