When do I need to use a liquid nitrogen filling kit?

You need to use a liquid nitrogen (LN₂) dosing kit when you’re packaging beverages in cans that require additional internal pressure for product integrity, shelf life, or transport stability—especially in the following situations:

• Non-carbonated or low-carbonated beverages (e.g. still water, cold brew, wine, juice)
• Nitro beverages where a nitrogen cascade effect is desired
• Cans that need to be rigid for stacking or export (particularly for still liquids)
• Oxygen-sensitive products that benefit from LN₂ purging for extended shelf life

The LN₂ dosing process adds a drop of liquid nitrogen just before seaming. As it rapidly evaporates, it creates internal pressure, which strengthens the can and displaces oxygen, helping to protect product quality.

If you’re unsure whether your product needs LN₂ dosing, our team can advise based on your product type and goals.

When making your filling booking with your dedicated Customer Partner, mention to them you may need to the Nitro doser so it can be added to your booking.
