Nemix 30 CO₂ N₂ - Food Grade - B20
A Nemix 30 B20 gas cylinder is a professional, medium-sized gas cylinder with a water capacity of 20 liters, filled with a high-quality gas mixture for the food industry. The ratio of 70% Nitrogen (N₂) and 30% Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) is a widely used standard for MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) applications.
In this combination, the CO₂ provides antibacterial action, while the nitrogen protects the product against oxidation and prevents mechanical pressure on the packaging (the packaging retains its shape). The B20 format is the ideal choice for the intensive user who wants greater autonomy than with a B10 cylinder, without the logistical complexity of a large B50 cylinder.
Key features:
- Shelf life optimization: The 70/30 mix is specifically formulated for the professional market, ideal for packaging cheese, processed meats, and fresh meals, among others.
- Foodgrade certainty: Guaranteed purity and full traceability, crucial for quality audits in food production.
- Increased autonomy: The 20-liter volume significantly reduces the frequency of bottle changes during production compared to smaller cylinders.
- High-pressure system: Stable and constant composition, provided the cylinder is stored and used vertically to prevent any separation of the gas mixture.
Product details
Nemix 30 CO₂ N₂ gas cylinder, filled with 20L CO₂ N₂, specially developed for food preservation (built for long-term and professional use).
Transport
Transport & Use:
- Vertical fixation: The cylinder must always stand upright and be secured with a strap or bracket. This not only prevents falling but also ensures the correct gas ratio during withdrawal.
- Transport: Transport the B20 cylinder in a well-ventilated vehicle, always with the protective cap on the valve and without any connected equipment.
- Storage: Store the cylinder in a dry, well-ventilated room, away from direct sunlight or extreme heat sources.
Safety
Specific safety information for Nemix 30 (B20):
- Asphyxiation hazard: In the event of a leak, CO₂ can accumulate at floor level (it is heavier than air) and displace oxygen. In rooms where gas cylinders are used, adequate ventilation and, preferably, CO₂ detection are important safety measures.
- Pressure regulator: Use only a pressure regulator specifically certified for food gases and mixed gases. Since this is a high-pressure cylinder, an accurate flow meter is essential for maintaining the constant quality of your packaging atmosphere.
- Valve protection: The valve of a B20 cylinder is vulnerable. Always place the metal protective cap as soon as the cylinder is not in use.
- No grease/oil: Although this mixture is non-flammable, all equipment (regulators, hoses, couplings) must always be kept grease-free to prevent contamination of the food product.
