Bottled nitrogen is the hidden cost line that grows every time you win more work

Every nitrogen-assist laser job consumes cylinder gas. As order volume rises, cylinder deliveries, rental fees and changeover downtime scale with it - and a single empty bottle mid-shift stops the entire cutting line.

What on-site PSA generation changes, in numbers

99.9%Nitrogen purity
10-80m³/h flow range
0.6-0.8MPa output pressure

Xinhong's PSA nitrogen generator separates nitrogen from compressed air on-site, so assist gas is produced continuously at your own pressure - no cylinder swaps, no delivery schedules, no minimum-order gas contracts.

Buyer value

Convert a variable gas expense into a fixed plant investment with a specified payback window, and cut stainless thick plate at 30 bar-class assist pressure when your work demands it, using the integrated gas mixing system.

Application case

Bottled nitrogen replaced by on-site PSA generation on a stainless cutting line

Bottled nitrogen replaced by on-site PSA generation on a stainless cutting line

Who: a precision sheet metal workshop in Europe that runs stainless production on a fiber laser cutting line. Machine: Xinhong PSA nitrogen generator supplying the cutting line's assist-gas manifold. Problem it solved: the line depended on delivered cylinder banks, so gas cost was a line item per delivery and cutting stopped when a bank ran out mid-shift. Before: cylinders were ordered, stored and switched manually, and the gas cost per part could not be separated from other consumables. Now: nitrogen is generated on site at 99.9% purity, 10-80 m3/h flow and 0.6-0.8 MPa, so the line draws from its own supply. Where the numbers come from: the PSA generator specification sheet plus the workshop's gas invoices before the change; any payback period depends on the plant's electricity tariff and cutting hours and is confirmed with a quotation-based calculation, not published as a fixed figure.

Application based on customer feedback; individual results depend on materials and production conditions.

Tube cutting cell: stable purity ends parameter re-tuning between cylinder banks

Who: a tube cutting cell that runs two shifts on 3 mm stainless tube and thin sheet. Machine: Xinhong PSA nitrogen generator paired with the cutting cell's assist-gas line. Problem it solved: nitrogen purity drifted between cylinder deliveries, which changed the cut edge on thin stainless toward the end of each cylinder bank. Before: the operator re-tuned parameters whenever a new cylinder bank was connected. Now: the generator's 99.9% purity output is continuous, so the parameter recipe stays valid through the shift. Where the numbers come from: the PSA generator specification (99.9% purity, 10-80 m3/h flow, 0.6-0.8 MPa) plus the cell's parameter-change log; any claim about scrap rate needs the cell's own measurement.

Carbon steel fabricator: O2/N2 recipe switching on one thick-plate nest

Who: a sheet metal fabricator cutting 6-12 mm carbon steel with a high-power fiber laser. Machine: Xinhong nitrogen generator for the general cutting line plus a gas mixing system for the thick-plate work. Problem it solved: thick carbon steel needed oxygen for speed but the shop wanted the option of nitrogen for edge quality on the same nest. Before: the choice meant swapping gas supply configuration between jobs. Now: the mixing system switches O2/N2/air recipes per job, and the generator supplies the nitrogen side on-site. Where the numbers come from: the gas mixing system specification and the generator flow specification, plus the shop's job router; the cost-per-part comparison depends on local gas and electricity prices and must be calculated on the buyer's own tariff.

Customer ratings

“Use case: on-site nitrogen supply for a stainless cutting line that previously ran on cylinder banks. | Assessment: the saving we can defend on paper is the gas line item, not a claim about machine uptime. | Verified point: 99.9% purity at the generator outlet, checked against the specification at commissioning. | Source: commissioning record and monthly gas invoice comparison, 2024-2025.”

“Use case: two-shift 3 mm stainless tube and thin sheet cutting where purity used to drift between deliveries. | Assessment: not having to re-tune at every cylinder change is the practical gain for my operators. | Verified point: parameter-change log shows the recipe held for the whole shift over the recorded period. | Source: shift parameter-change log, 2025.”

Buyer FAQ

What purity and flow does the PSA nitrogen generator deliver?+

The PSA generator produces 99.9% purity nitrogen at 10-80 m³/h and 0.6-0.8 MPa, sized to your machine's assist-gas demand. Send your laser power and cutting thickness mix and we will confirm the flow class in your quotation.

How fast does a nitrogen generator pay for itself?+

Based on unit specifications, on-site generation eliminates bottled nitrogen costs with a 6-12 month ROI. Actual payback depends on your cutting volume and local cylinder pricing, which we confirm during quotation.

Can the system supply both nitrogen and oxygen cutting recipes?+

Yes. The gas mixing system blends oxygen, nitrogen and compressed air with ±1% mass-flow accuracy and recipe-based switching, so one machine serves different materials without manual changeover.

What data should I send to size a nitrogen system?+

Provide your laser power, material thickness range, daily cutting hours and current bottled-gas spend. Our engineers will size the PSA unit, compressor and dryer as one integrated gas solution.
