The PLINIUS SERIES by Claind is a high-capacity nitrogen generator line designed for advanced analytical applications such as LC-MS, ELSD, and sample preparation.
It is a plug-and-play solution with an integrated oil-free compressor, engineered to ensure operational continuity, stable nitrogen purity, and reduced operating costs in modern laboratories.
What Is the PLINIUS SERIES (In Brief)
PLINIUS SERIES is a PSA-based nitrogen generator that produces nitrogen directly on-site in the laboratory, eliminating dependence on gas cylinders and external supply sources.
It is available in three models:
- PLINIUS N30-1 (up to 30 Nl/min)
- PLINIUS N45-1 (up to 45 Nl/min)
- PLINIUS N60-1 (up to 60 Nl/min)
All models operate with:
- 6–8 bar outlet pressure
- Integrated oil-free air compressor
- Digital control and remote connectivity
PSA Technology: How It Works and Why It Is Advantageous
PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) technology separates nitrogen from compressed air through cyclic compression and decompression across CMS molecular sieves (Carbon Molecular Sieves).
In the PLINIUS SERIES, PSA is designed to:
- Ensure high purity stability
- Reduce mechanical stress on components
- Adjust nitrogen production to actual consumption
This approach enables nitrogen purity levels up to 99.9%, proportionally aligned with the flow required by analytical instruments, preventing overproduction and energy waste.
Why PLINIUS Is Suitable for Advanced Analytical Laboratories
PLINIUS SERIES is specifically designed for laboratory environments, not adapted from industrial systems.
-
LowNoiseand Operational Comfort
Thanks to advanced soundproofing and anti-vibration solutions, noise levels remain between 50 and 60 dBA (N30 and N60 models), making the system suitable for shared laboratories and noise-sensitive environments.
-
LowMaintenanceCosts
The presence of:
- Low operating temperature
- Internal air and nitrogen storage tanks
reduces compressor start-up frequency and component wear.
Compressor maintenance (N45-1 model) is required only after 16,000 operating hours.
-
ATrulyPlug & Play Solution
PLINIUS is a complete nitrogen generation solution:
- Integrated oil-free compressor
- No external infrastructure required
- Fast installation and immediate operation
This reduces setup time, installation costs, and operational complexity.
Claind Control System: Process Control, Data and Digital Integration
Each PLINIUS SERIES unit is equipped with the Claind Control System, a process control system developed based on over 40 years of Claind expertise in gas generation.
The system allows:
- Continuous monitoring of operating parameters
- Visualization of generator status and maintenance schedules
- Intelligent management of operating cycles
Remote Control and IoT Integration
PLINIUS is configured for:
- MODBUS over TCP
- Ethernet RJ45 connection
- Wi-Fi connectivity
- Integration with the Claind4You IoT platform
This enables remote control from PC, tablet, or smartphone and real-time analysis of operational data.
Why Choose PLINIUS SERIES Over Nitrogen Cylinders
From both an operational and strategic perspective, PLINIUS SERIES offers:
- Greater safety (no stored high-pressure gas cylinders)
- Continuous nitrogen supply
- Reduced logistics costs
- Improved process control
- Integration into laboratory digital workflows
PLINIUS SERIES is not simply a nitrogen generator.
It is a laboratory-focused process technology that combines:
- Advanced PSA technology
- Genuine low-noise operation
- Reduced maintenance requirements
- Digital and remote control
A solution designed for laboratories that consider nitrogen not an accessory, but a critical variable in analytical quality.
