BRANICK Nitrogen Generator, 350, 110-150 psi Range, Single Membrane
BRANICK Model 350 Nitrogen Generator - Compact Wall-Mount System for Light-Duty Tire Service
The BRANICK Model 350 is a compact, wall-mounted nitrogen generator using single PRISM membrane technology to deliver high-purity nitrogen for tire inflation. Built for motorcycles and passenger vehicles in space-constrained shops, this entry-level system integrates with existing compressed air infrastructure and requires minimal floor footprint while maintaining consistent nitrogen purity for tire and TPMS longevity.
Key Features & Benefits
Single PRISM Membrane Technology
The Model 350 employs a proven single hollow-fiber PRISM membrane platform that's identical to the membrane design used in BRANICK's larger capacity tower and cart systems. This consistent engineering approach delivers 95% nitrogen purity under baseline operating conditions while maintaining reliable performance across light-duty and moderate-use tire service applications.
Traditional entry-level systems often compromise on membrane technology or use lower-cost separation materials that produce inconsistent purity. The 350 addresses this challenge by deploying the same proven membrane technology that commercial-scale systems rely on, ensuring clean, dry nitrogen without requiring multiple membrane stages.
This enables small shops to offer professional-grade nitrogen service with the same purity standard that large dealer networks provide. The shared technology platform also creates a clear upgrade path if your shop's nitrogen demand grows.
Space-Saving Wall-Mount Configuration
Unlike cart-based or tower systems that consume 15-30 square feet of valuable floor space, the Model 350 mounts directly to a shop wall using standard anchor bolts. The compact cabinet measures 13.06 inches wide by 20.88 inches deep by 48.75 inches tall, delivering a true zero-floor-footprint installation that maintains full access to service bays and equipment movement paths.
Space constraints are a common challenge in small tire shops, independent garages, and multi-service facilities where every square foot impacts operational efficiency. Wall-mounting eliminates the need to relocate equipment, reorganize service bays, or sacrifice customer waiting area space to add nitrogen capability.
This enables shops of any size to add nitrogen as a value-added service without construction or facility reorganization. The fixed wall installation also improves long-term safety by securing the unit to building structure rather than rolling casters.
Integrated Pre-Filtration and Air Drying
The Model 350 includes dual pre-filter stages—a coalescing filter and a particulate filter—that remove oil mist, water vapor, and solid contaminants from shop compressed air before nitrogen separation. Combined with the membrane's natural drying behavior, this integrated filtration system delivers nitrogen at a -70°F dewpoint, ensuring dry, clean gas that protects tire integrity and TPMS sensors.
Contaminated air is a common problem when shop compressors supply directly to tire inflation. Oil carryover can damage TPMS sensors and create long-term tire degradation, especially in high-humidity environments. Traditional tank-delivery nitrogen systems offer no filtration advantage over pre-filtered membrane systems.
This enables consistent tire and sensor protection across every fill without special training or manual intervention. Regular filter replacement (typically annual maintenance) maintains this performance, and the 5-year membrane warranty covers the core separation component when maintenance procedures are followed.
Flexible Compressed Air Supply Integration
The Model 350 operates across a wide input pressure range of 100-175 psi and requires only modest air flow (approximately 6.3 scfm at baseline conditions). This compatibility profile means the unit integrates seamlessly with most existing shop compressor systems without requiring major air-system upgrades, new air lines, or additional electrical capacity.
Many entry-level shops operate older or modest-capacity compressors that would be overwhelmed by tower or larger cart-based systems. The 350's flexible input requirements address this by working within typical small-shop air infrastructure, making nitrogen capability accessible without capital investment in new compressor equipment.
This simplifies installation and reduces total project cost by eliminating compressor upgrades. The flexible pressure range also accommodates natural pressure variations throughout the day without triggering system shutdowns or requiring specialized regulators.
Extended Membrane Warranty Protection
The Model 350 carries a 5-year warranty on the PRISM membrane from date of delivery, provided that filter maintenance requirements and oil-free air specifications are met. This extended coverage reflects the expected service life and reliability of the core separation component under normal operating conditions, and it significantly exceeds the typical 1-year general warranty structure of entry-level competitors.
Membrane replacement represents the primary capital expense for long-term nitrogen generator operation. Industry-standard systems often provide only 1-year general coverage, shifting replacement risk to the shop after year one. The Model 350 shifts this risk back to the manufacturer, providing peace-of-mind coverage that aligns with actual component lifespan.
This protects your investment by ensuring membrane replacement—if needed—is covered under warranty for half a decade. The 5-year term also signals BRANICK's confidence in the PRISM technology and encourages proper maintenance by tying warranty coverage to filter replacement and air-quality requirements.
Made-in-USA Manufacturing and Brand Heritage
BRANICK manufactures the Model 350 in the United States, applying the same engineering standards and quality controls that define the company's product line across tire service equipment. This domestic manufacturing approach supports local supply chains, simplifies parts availability, and provides a known brand heritage for shops seeking reliable, domestically-produced equipment.
Import-based nitrogen generators are common in the entry-level market, and sourcing problems or support delays can create extended downtime when service is needed. Domestic manufacturing provides consistent parts availability and direct support relationships with a manufacturer that has served the tire industry for decades.
This enables faster repairs, easier parts sourcing, and direct access to technical support. Made-in-USA production also appeals to shop owners and operators who prioritize local sourcing and domestic supply chain resilience.
