Vacuum Barrier’s Nitromatic fill station is designed to fill vacuum-insulated storage tanks (or Dewar’s) with liquid nitrogen from larger bulk systems or tanks. The advanced system eliminates liquid nitrogen waste and provides a true liquid nitrogen fill. The Nitromatic is equipped with an automatic shut-off and safety time-out feature that can be set for 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes. These features do away with liquid nitrogen waste by preventing the release of liquid nitrogen for extended periods of time. Also, labor waste is reduced by eliminating the need for employee supervision of the Dewar as it fills. Vacuum Barrier’s complete line of cryogenic handling equipment provides liquid nitrogen transfer directly from the storage tank to the use point. — Vacuum Barrier Corp., Box 529, Woburn, Mass. 01801-0529; 781/933-3570; www.vacuumbarrier.com.
