BRANICK 1500 Nitrogen Generator, Triple Membrane Technology
Branick 1500 Triple Membrane Nitrogen Generator - 21.3 SCFM Commercial Grade System
The Branick Model 1500 delivers 21.3 SCFM of nitrogen output at 160 PSI through triple-membrane PRISM technology designed for high-volume commercial tire shops. Built with American steel construction in Fargo, North Dakota, this stationary system uses a 1.9:1 air-to-nitrogen ratio while simultaneously functioning as an air dryer with -70°F dewpoint output.
Key Features & Benefits
Highest Membrane Output Capacity
The Branick 1500 produces 21.3 SCFM of nitrogen at 160 PSI through triple-membrane PRISM separation technology, exceeding standard membrane-based competitors while maintaining consistent purity throughout operational lifespan. This industrial-grade output supports multiple service bays without pressure degradation during peak demand periods.
Traditional nitrogen generators struggle to maintain flow rates when multiple technicians operate pneumatic tools simultaneously. The Model 1500 addresses this industry-wide challenge by providing sustained high-volume output that enables concurrent tire service operations across busy commercial facilities.
This enables safer and more efficient fleet maintenance by eliminating nitrogen supply bottlenecks during heavy service periods. Shop managers can schedule multiple bay operations without compromising nitrogen availability or extending service times.
Integrated Air Drying Function
PRISM membrane technology simultaneously removes moisture while generating nitrogen, producing -70°F dewpoint output without requiring separate air drying equipment. This dual-function design eliminates the need for costly PSA system components while delivering bone-dry nitrogen for optimal tire performance.
Moisture contamination in nitrogen systems causes tire pressure fluctuations and accelerated rim corrosion in commercial vehicle operations. Standard systems require additional air dryers and maintenance schedules, increasing operational complexity and parts inventory costs.
This eliminates separate air treatment equipment and reduces maintenance overhead while ensuring consistent tire pressure in temperature-sensitive applications like refrigerated transport and precision equipment hauling.
Superior Efficiency Ratio
The 1.9:1 air-to-nitrogen conversion ratio minimizes compressor wear and energy consumption compared to less efficient systems requiring higher air input volumes for equivalent nitrogen output. This efficiency rating reduces operational costs while extending connected equipment lifespan through optimized duty cycles.
Inefficient nitrogen generators force compressors to run longer cycles and higher pressures, increasing energy consumption and accelerating component wear. Fleet operators face elevated utility costs and frequent compressor maintenance when using systems with poor conversion ratios.
This reduces monthly energy expenses and extends compressor service intervals by minimizing unnecessary runtime. Facilities can achieve target nitrogen production with smaller, less expensive air compressors while maintaining operational reliability.
Automatic Compressor Protection
Built-in shut-off system activates at optimal pressure ranges to prevent unnecessary compressor operation, featuring automatic pressure switch and solenoid valve controls that monitor system demand and cycle equipment accordingly. This intelligent control reduces energy costs and extends connected equipment lifespan through precise operational management.
Manual nitrogen systems waste energy through continuous compressor operation regardless of actual demand, leading to premature equipment failure and excessive utility costs. Technicians often forget to shut down systems during break periods, resulting in unnecessary wear cycles.
This improves operational efficiency by eliminating manual oversight requirements and reducing wasted compressor runtime. Shop owners benefit from lower utility bills and extended equipment warranties through automated system management.
