Oxygen and nitrogen generator manufacturer, Inmatec, is showcasing its product portfolio and the advantages of decentralised gas production for the beverages industry at BrauBeviale in Nuremberg.

The on-site production of gases such as oxygen, nitrogen or mixed gases has numerous economic and ecological added values for breweries and the beverages industry. Nitrogen in particular is key to the production of beer and other drinks containing carbon dioxide, as during the fermentation process, not enough carbon dioxide is usually regained to use later as a protective gas.

As an inert or protective gas, nitrogen ensures the durability of goods and is an alternative to carbon dioxide. Using Inmatec generators, companies can filter the required nitrogen taken directly from the ambient air and produce it as needed.

On-site gas production improves planning reliability because companies no longer have to deal with fluctuations in the market as well as bottlenecks or delays in external supply, resulting in greater economic independence.

In addition to the omission of storage and transport costs, companies can significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by using on-site generators, acting more sustainably in the long term.

Inmatec will be presenting its products and thoughts on efficient on-site production that lowers costs as well as carbon dioxide emissions, and increases economic independence at BrauBeviale, the specialist trade fair for the global beverages industry from 26-28 November.

APCO has released its 2022-23 Australian Packaging Consumption and Recovery Data Report, the second report released this year in line with its commitment to improving timeliness and relevance of data. 

The AFGC has welcomed government progress towards implementing clear, integrated and consistent changes to packaging across Australia, but says greater clarity is needed on design standards.

It’s been a tumultuous yet progressive year in packaging in Australia, with highs and lows playing out against a backdrop of uncertainty caused in part by the dangling sword of DCCEEW’s proposed Packaging Reform, and in part by the mounting pressure of rising manufacturing costs.
