nexAir’s Gas Solutions: Enhancing Precision and Efficiency in Metal Fabrication
The Integral Role of Gases in Metal Fabrication
Gases are fundamental in metal fabrication, playing roles in cutting, welding, coating, and treating metals. The choice of gas can significantly influence the quality of the work, turning an ordinary cut into an exceptional one. We offer a diverse range of gases, including oxygen, nitrogen, and argon, each tailored to fulfill specific functions in the fabrication process, ensuring optimal outcomes.
Achieving Laser Precision in Cutting
Laser cutting represents the pinnacle of precision in metalworking. Our specialized laser gas mixes are designed to amplify the efficiency and precision of laser cutting operations, guaranteeing clean, precise cuts consistently. This elevates the quality of the final product and accelerates the production timeline, enhancing overall productivity.
Forging Stronger Welds with Shielding Gases
The strength and integrity of a weld can’t be understated in metal fabrication. Our shielding gases, such as mixtures of argon and carbon dioxide, establish the ideal conditions for welding by safeguarding the weld zone from atmospheric contaminants that could compromise the joint. The result is robust, dependable welds that stand the test of time.
Refining Metal Properties with Specialty Gases
Metal fabrication extends beyond mere shaping; it involves the enhancement of metal properties. Our specialty gases are pivotal in processes like heat treating and annealing, which modify the metal’s characteristics to meet specific requirements, whether it’s increasing hardness, adjusting flexibility, or enhancing corrosion resistance.
Elevating Efficiency and Minimizing Waste
Efficiency is crucial in metal fabrication, and our gas solutions play a vital role in achieving it. By optimizing gas utilization, we assist fabricators in minimizing waste and reducing expenses while maintaining superior quality outputs. This approach not only supports the financial aspects of operations but also promotes more sustainable fabrication practices.
Customized Solutions for Diverse Requirements
We recognize the uniqueness of each fabrication project and the importance of tailored solutions. Our team works closely with fabricators to understand their specific needs and challenges, ensuring that our gas solutions are perfectly aligned with their requirements, enabling them to excel in their projects.
Prioritizing Safety and Compliance
Safety is non-negotiable when dealing with gases. We are committed to ensuring that all our gas solutions adhere to stringent safety standards. We provide not only the gases but also the essential knowledge and equipment for their safe use, safeguarding workers and workplaces alike.
Dedicated Support and Expertise
Our service extends beyond the delivery of gas cylinders; we offer a comprehensive support system. With our expert guidance, training, and continuous support, we empower fabricators to maximize the benefits of our gas solutions, optimizing their processes and resolving any issues that arise.
Forge Forward Into Excellence
In the field of metal fabrication, our gas solutions are making a significant impact. By enhancing precision, boosting efficiency, and upholding safety standards, we are assisting fabricators in reaching new heights of excellence. Whether it’s achieving a flawless laser cut or constructing a robust weld, our gases are a driving force behind the industry’s success.

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.
