Industry Pain Points & Requirements
① Welding of vehicle bodies and components suffers high-temperature oxidation, slag inclusions and pores, leading to insufficient strength, rust issues and high rework rates.
Solution: Air separation equipment delivers effective anti-oxidation protection during welding and thermal processing, retaining structural strength and raising yield rate.

② Battery cells are highly sensitive to moisture and oxygen. Exposure causes oxidation, bulging and even explosion. Dry rooms require humidity below 1% and oxygen content below 2%. Purchased liquid nitrogen comes with high costs and unstable supply.
Solution: Air separation systems support air circulation in dry rooms, provide protection for cell sealing and electrolyte filling, and prevent oxidation during electrode drying.

③ Oil and moisture in compressed air result in paint craters, pinholes and orange peel texture, causing frequent rework and extra costs.
Solution: Nitrogen is applied for protection during painting and drying processes to avoid discoloration from high-temperature oxidation.

④ Moisture and oxygen in regular air accelerate tire aging, causing unstable pressure, blowout risks and higher fuel consumption.
Solution: Nitrogen inflation via air separation equipment prevents oxidation and air leakage, eliminates blowout hazards. It extends tire service life by 20%–30% and cuts fuel consumption by 3%–5%.

⑤ High-temperature heat treatment leads to oxidation and decarburization of parts, along with uneven hardness and deformation that result in scrapped products.
Solution: Air separation equipment prevents oxidation and decarburization, ensuring uniform hardness and less deformation. The product yield reaches over 99%. Ideal for mass production of gears, shafts, springs and chassis parts.
