Ensuring 24/7 Production Continuity During High-Pressure Nitrogen System Upgrades
See how Cryo-Lease provided a 400 PSI nitrogen bridge with the 5500L Twin Perma-Cyl Trailer, ensuring zero downtime during a strategic system upgrade.
The Challenge
High-Volume Production vs. System Over-Icing
Our client, a premier manufacturer of light-duty to heavy-duty auxiliary truck equipment, operates a high-stakes 24/7 production cycle. Central to their manufacturing are seven laser cutting machines that require a constant, high-pressure supply of Nitrogen (approx. 400 PSI).
With a daily consumption rate of nearly 1,100 gallons of liquid nitrogen, the client's existing infrastructure was struggling to keep up. The system was frequently over-icing, signaling the need for a substantial vaporizer upgrade and the installation of a second Trifecta unit.
To ensure the project was completed successfully without risking a late start to production when the facility reopened, they required an interim high-pressure supply.
The Solution
The 5500L Twin Perma-Cyl Portable Trailer
Cryo-Lease provided the Twin 5500L Perma-Cyl Trailer, an agile and powerful solution engineered specifically for high-flow, high-pressure temporary applications. It was the clear choice to keep the lasers firing while the main system was offline.With a daily consumption rate of nearly 1,100 gallons of liquid nitrogen, the client's existing infrastructure was struggling to keep up. The system was frequently over-icing, signaling the need for a substantial vaporizer upgrade and the installation of a second Trifecta unit.
Key Features and Benefits
Compact, Space-Saving Design
At only 28 feet long with a pintle hook pull, the trailer was easily maneuvered into the client’s facility, where space was already at a premium. The compact footprint also ensured cost-effective freight logistics.
Seamless "Plug and Play" Integration
The portable unit’s intuitive design allowed for immediate connection. By simply tying a hose from the trailer to a regulator and into the facility's courtesy valve, the technician bypassed the need for complex manifolding.
Operational Safety & Clarity
To ensure a safe delivery from the first fill to the point of use, the unit featured prominent step-by-step instructions directly on the tank, a critical feature for ensuring safety across different shifts and technicians.
Direct Technical Expertise
Cryo-Lease Service Technician Jason Vipperman provided 24/7 technical support, offering expert guidance on fill procedures and operational workarounds to ensure a successful commissioning.
The Result
Successful Upgrade with Zero Production Delays
By integrating the Cryo-Lease Twin 5500L Perma-Cyl Trailer into their upgrade plan, the customer achieved a perfect transition. The facility was able to run on the portable supply for the duration of the upgrade process without a single flow issue or pressure drop.
The upgrade was successful, and the transition back to the main bulk system was entirely seamless. By strategically using reliable cryogenic rental equipment, the client modernized their infrastructure without adding a single hour of unplanned downtime to their production schedule.
