Bradford-based snack foods
company Seabrook Crisps recently
called on Thorite to help maintain
its stringent quality standards.

Keeping crisps fresh and crunchy
once they’ve been packed is achieved
by the inclusion of Nitrogen gas in
each bag, which prevents oxidation
and thus any potential spoilage of the
crisps.

When Thorite’s engineers were
asked to carry out a routine check of
the compny’s nitrogen production
system their calculations pointed to
its output being nearly five times less
than the capacity that the plant
required.

To save costs and increase
efficiency, Thorite installed two
Parker Maxigas 112 Nitrogen
generators, each fitted with a Parker
dryer and filtration unit. Seabrooks
has said that Thorite provided a “first
class installation and back up
services that are second to none”.
