In the charcuterie industry, nitrogen is a fundamental gas in the packaging process, where guaranteeing product quality and safety is essential.

Thanks to its inert properties, nitrogen is used in modified atmospheres to preserve freshness, delay bacterial growth and extend shelf life without the need for additional preservatives.

The Challenge

The company required the implementation of a nitrogen generator capable of meeting its operational demands and, moreover, ensuring efficiency, sustainability, and cost reduction.

It was essential that the nitrogen generator stood out for its environmentally friendly features, allowing the optimization of operational efficiency and consolidating the company’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.

The Solution: Nitrogen Generation System

GasN2 installed a nitrogen generation system to fully cover the needs of this gas in all protective atmosphere packaging processes. The equipment, model GN6 with integrated mixer, produces a 50% N₂ – 50% CO₂ blend to achieve the highest quality packaging.

Results

The solution implemented by GasN2 has had a significant impact on the operations of Le Rôtisseur du Guerledan, highlighting the following results:

  • 50% cost savings, reducing costs associated with nitrogen
  • Reduction of CO₂ emissions associated with gas transport
  • Energy efficiency, with on-site nitrogen production
  • Cleaner and more sustainable processes, improving environmental impact
  • Racks on site and deliveries reduced to a quarter (−75%), optimizing logistics management
  • Total control of gas quality, with remote supervision
  • Preservation of organoleptic properties, improving quality perception.

This success case demonstrates how technological innovation can transform industrial processes, offering sustainable and cost-effective solutions that significantly improve the quality of the final product.

Le Rôtisseur du Guerledan thus reaffirms its commitment to efficiency, sustainability, and innovation, establishing itself as a benchmark in the food industry.
