Foundry Excellence: Leveraging nexAir’s Gas Supply for Quality Castings
In the world of foundries, where metals are transformed under intense heat into a myriad of shapes, the excellence of each final casting is crucial. At nexAir, we enter this high-temperature domain with our specialty gas solutions, playing a central role in ensuring every casting is a hallmark of durability and precision.
The Heat Is On: Boosting Melting Efficiency
The melting of metal is both an art and a science, demanding exact temperatures and conditions for perfection. Our gases, such as oxygen and argon, invigorate the melting processes, enhancing efficiency and consistency. This accelerates production and diminishes energy consumption, steering the foundry towards more sustainable practices.
A Breath of Fresh Air: Elevating Metal Quality
In the quest for quality castings, impurities are unwelcome. Our gas solutions infuse a new lease of life into the melting process. By purging and stirring the molten metal with inert gases, we aid in expelling undesired elements, producing purer, more robust metals poised for casting.
Molding Excellence: Enhancing Mold Creation
As liquid metal transitions to solid casting, it passes through the vital molding phase. In this stage, our gases are instrumental once again, assisting in crafting flawless molds that faithfully capture every detail. This meticulousness guarantees that the final castings adhere to the stringent specifications demanded.
Finishing with Finesse: Boosting Post-Casting Procedures
Metals undergo various finishing touches post-casting, from heat treatments to surface enhancements. Our specialty gases are integral throughout these processes, facilitating treatments that amplify the metal’s attributes, ensuring each casting is robust, precise, and aesthetically pleasing.
Tailored Solutions for Distinct Challenges
Each foundry faces unique obstacles and requirements, and we excel in customizing gas solutions to meet these specific needs. Whether addressing a rare alloy or a complex casting shape, we collaborate closely with foundries to concoct the ideal gas blend for their particular endeavors.
Spotlighting Sustainability
In today’s era, the emphasis on sustainability is ever-growing. Our gas solutions assist foundries in diminishing their environmental footprint, from reducing emissions to conserving energy. This dedication to green practices benefits our planet and aligns with the values of customers and stakeholders who prioritize sustainability.
Safety and Expertise: Our Commitment
Handling gases, especially within the demanding environment of a foundry, requires unparalleled safety and expert KnowHow™. We fulfill these needs by providing the gases and the necessary training, equipment, and support for their safe and proficient use.
A Partnership Forged in Excellence
We view our relationship with foundries as a supplier and a partner in achieving excellence. By offering superior gas solutions and comprehensive support, we assist foundries in attaining unparalleled quality in every casting, bolstering their reputation for reliability and excellence.
Forge Forward with Success
Amidst the foundry’s enthusiasm, our gas solutions stand out as crucial allies in the pursuit of casting perfection. Enhancing each stage of the casting process, from melting to the final touches, enables foundries to craft high-quality castings efficiently and sustainably. It’s a partnership tempered in the flames of innovation, sculpting success one casting at a time.

Everything we offer is a click away and it will arrive before you know it.
Behind every package of fresh meat, bag of pre-cut salad, and bottle of craft beer sits an invisible guardian – specialized gas mixtures that preserve flavor, extend shelf life, and ensure product safety. At nexAir, we work with food processors and packagers throughout the Southeast to develop custom gas solutions that address the unique challenges of food production. Our approach goes beyond simply supplying cylinders – we become partners in your quality control process.
The Critical Role of Gases in Food Preservation
Food spoilage begins the moment a product leaves the production line. Oxygen fuels bacterial growth, accelerates oxidation, and triggers enzymatic browning. Carbon dioxide inhibits microbial activity. Nitrogen displaces oxygen and maintains package integrity. Understanding the precise balance needed for each food product requires specialized knowledge of both gas properties and food science. Our team works at this intersection, helping you determine the optimal gas mixtures for your specific products.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging That Preserves Natural Quality
Consumers increasingly demand fresh, minimally processed foods without artificial preservatives. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) allows you to meet these demands by replacing the air inside packaging with carefully calibrated gas mixtures. For red meats, we supply high-oxygen blends that maintain the bright red color consumers associate with freshness. For prepared salads and sliced produce, low-oxygen mixtures prevent wilting and browning without affecting taste or texture. Our custom MAP solutions help your products maintain their natural appearance and flavor profile throughout their shelf life.
Ensuring Consistent Quality Through Precision Blending
Quality control in food production demands consistency – consumers expect the same taste, appearance, and freshness with every purchase. Gas mixtures that vary from batch to batch can undermine this consistency. Our automated blending systems deliver precise gas compositions every time, eliminating the variability that can affect product quality. We regularly calibrate and certify our equipment to food-grade standards, giving you confidence that the gas touching your products meets the highest purity requirements.
Technical Support When You Need It Most
Production issues rarely happen during business hours. That's why our team remains available to help troubleshoot gas-related challenges whenever they arise. When a bakery customer noticed inconsistent product volume during an overnight shift, our on-call technician identified a pressure fluctuation in their carbon dioxide supply and quickly implemented a solution. This responsive support helps prevent quality control failures that could otherwise result in product loss and delivery delays.
Partnering for Continuous Improvement
Food trends, processing technologies, and packaging materials constantly evolve. We work with our food industry customers to regularly evaluate gas solutions against changing requirements and opportunities for improvement. Our technical team keeps you informed about innovations in gas applications that might benefit your operation. This collaborative approach helps you stay ahead of challenges and continue meeting the high-quality standards your customers expect.
Maintaining quality control in food production requires vigilance, specialized knowledge, and reliable partners. At nexAir, we provide more than just industrial gases – we deliver application expertise, responsive service, and custom solutions that address the specific challenges of your food products. Contact our food industry specialists today to discuss how our gas solutions can strengthen your quality control program and help deliver the consistent product excellence your customers demand.
