N2GEN: Mission-Critical Nitrogen™ Generators for Bottling Manufacturing
Nitrogen gas is used during the bottling process to ensure product quality. South Tek’s N2GEN generators filter out oxygen and reliably deliver high-purity mission-critical nitrogen™ to help inhibit oxidation of the liquid or beverage. N2GEN systems are custom engineered to deliver the exact purity and flowrate of Nitrogen your process requires. Generating Nitrogen on-demand, in-house improves efficiency and typically results in 50-90% savings when compared to liquid bulk.
- 50-90% savings when compared to liquid bulk
- Fast payback with an average ROI of 12-14 months
- Eliminate deliveries and contracts
- Dual-bed, PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) technology
- Smart-Trak – Touchscreen control display; remote monitoring with mobile devices (select models)
- 18-24 year system life, dependent on maintenance

Why Nitrogen
Crucial to manufacturing the highest quality products is a reduction in oxygen to ensure freshness and a longer shelf life. Nitrogen is used to displace O2, preventing spoilage and preserving flavor. While Nitrogen is the solution – Nitrogen generation is the cost-effective, self-sustaining solution. South-Tek Systems N2 mission-critical nitrogen™ generators reliably deliver high-purity nitrogen required for the bottling manufacturing processes such as:
- Vessel blanketing
- Bottle flushing
- Sparging
- Product transfer
- Dispensing
- Keg pressurization
- Purging tanks

Purity Matters
South-Tek Systems certifies purity levels with in-house testing using Oxygen analyzers that have accuracies of ±2 PPM (parts per million). We also offer additional 3rd party verification using precise chromatography machines which corroborate our factory results and the ability of our generators to achieve purities better than 10 PPM O2 for years in the field. To ensure purity we offer the following solutions:
Standard PLC Packages
- EverPure™: Helps safeguard against a dirty “slug” of nitrogen going out to process by cycling the sieve beds twice upon startup, prior to filling our nitrogen receiver tank
- FRP Monitoring: Notifies when filters need to be changed to ensure maximum performance.
Optional PLC Packages (many others available)
- Purity Monitoring: Tracks and trends the nitrogen purity going out to process
- PurityLock™: Allows only a certain purity to go out to the process (i.e. for processes that cannot realize higher purity than the nitrogen generator’s specification)
- PurityProtect™: Ensures Nitrogen going out to the process does not drop below a certain purity, and if so, it will alarm and/or shut off flow
Smart-Trak Mobile Monitoring and Management
A powerful software/user interface, Smart-Trak offers unprecedented control and testing capabilities for the end-user. Smart-Trak allows you to access information such as equipment runtime, time in air bypass mode, current system status and maintenance reminders. Remotely monitor and manage your nitrogen generator from any mobile device.
