NITROGEN DOSER
A nitrogen doser, also called a liquid nitrogen dosing machine (LN2 doser), is advanced equipment that injects a precise drop of liquid nitrogen into containers—such as PET bottles, glass bottles, aluminum cans, and flexible pouches—before sealing. The liquid nitrogen rapidly evaporates, displacing oxygen and creating internal pressure, which improves product freshness, shelf life, and package strength. At Sunswell, we provide high-speed nitrogen dosing systems designed for beverage and packaging industries. Our machines ensure accurate dosing, reliable operation, and seamless integration with bottling and canning lines.
INDUSTRY APPLICATION
1. Applications of Nitrogen Dosers
- Still Water & Juices – protect against oxygen exposure and spoilage.
- Cold Brew Coffee & Tea – extend freshness and maintain aroma.
- Beer & Alcoholic Beverages – stabilize product quality during storage.
- Carbonated and Non-Carbonated Drinks – optimize can and bottle rigidity.
- Edible Oil & Dairy Products – prevent oxidation and rancidity.
- Nutraceuticals & Functional Drinks – preserve vitamins and sensitive ingredients.
- Powder Products (e.g., infant formula) – create inert packaging environments.
2. How Does a Nitrogen Doser Work?
- Filling Stage – the container is filled with beverage or product.
- Nitrogen Injection – a micro-drop of liquid nitrogen is dosed into the headspace.
- Evaporation & Expansion – LN2 vaporizes instantly, displacing oxygen.
- Pressure Creation – the container gains internal pressure for structural rigidity.
- Sealing & Packaging – the container is capped or sealed, locking in freshness.
- This process ensures oxygen-free packaging, extending shelf life while maintaining flavor and quality.
