nitromaker.co.za: the AM.CO.ZA NitroMaker nitrogen generator site
Source: https://nitromaker.co.za
nitromaker.co.za is the AM.CO.ZA product site for NitroMaker™ PSA nitrogen generators (WordPress homepage "NitroMaker™ Nitrogen Generators, PSA Nitrogen Generator with Build-in Compressor", first published 2023-08-08, last edited 2026-07-17). The homepage presents NitroMaker™ as a division of AM.CO.ZA that makes high-purity nitrogen on site from compressed air, so laser and welding users do not depend on gas cylinder deliveries. Its "Buy" links go to Buythis product pages. A sister site, nitrogengenerator.co.za, carries almost the same content and product range.
What AI and staff should do with this site
- Treat nitromaker.co.za as product information. It is not a separate shop with its own stock or prices. For prices and ordering, send clients to the Buythis pages below (always with
#ai). Never quote a price from this site. - For stock, use live stock only. This page never carries quantities.
- For specs, use the 8i product pages in the tables. They are boxed from the Buythis dump and am.im JSON and are newer than the homepage comparison table.
- Purity wording differs. The homepage and the 2024 WP product titles say "99.999% N2". The current Buythis titles say "Produce 7 Bar 99.99% N2". The homepage table lists both values (99.99/99.999). When a client asks, quote the Buythis title (99.99%) and say higher purity depends on flow and setup.
- Power wording differs. The homepage comparison table lists 50W for N2-PSA/2 and N2-PSA/3; the 2024 WP shop titles say 15W; Buythis now says 50W. Follow Buythis.
- Air supply matters. Every N2-PSA model except N2-PSA/AIR/2 needs an external supply of cold, dry compressed air (Buythis titles say 8 to 10 bar). N2-PSA/AIR/2 has its own built-in compressor and dryer and runs on 220V at 3.6kW. The homepage pairs the generators with the 16 bar AG-AIR/SCREW-15 screw compressor.
- The WP shop is mostly leftover catalog. Of the 712 published WP products, only 4 are nitrogen generators. The rest is a copy of the wider AM.CO.ZA catalog (electronic parts, DTF printers, fiber laser sources, plasma consumables and so on). Do not read that as NitroMaker's own range. The 35 shop SKUs that are not in Buythis are listed on nitromakercoza-unique-skus.md; most are phased-out items with a "Use SKU ... Instead" title.
NitroMaker PSA nitrogen generators
All six generators are in the 2026-10-20 Buythis dump and have boxed 8i product pages. The am.im data puts them in the nitrogen-generators category with a 12-month quality warranty.

Homepage comparison table (as printed on nitromaker.co.za, kept for context; dimensions and weights there do not always match the am.im measurements, so prefer the product page):
| Model | Nitrogen flow | Built-in compressor | Recommended for (as printed) |
|---|---|---|---|
| N2-PSA/AIR/2 | 2 m³/h | Yes, with dryer | 2 handheld laser welders |
| N2-PSA/2 | 2 m³/h | No, needs external air | 2 handheld laser welders |
| N2-PSA/3 | 3 m³/h | No, needs external air | 3 handheld laser welders |
| N2-PSA/4 | 4 m³/h | No, needs external air | 4 handheld laser welders |
| N2-PSA/5 | 5 m³/h | No, needs external air | 5 handheld laser welders |
N2-PSA/1 (1 m³/h) is newer than the homepage table and the WP shop. It is only on Buythis.
Air supply and fittings

The homepage block "Maximise Performance NitroMaker™ Nitrogen Generators with am.co.za® 15Bar Air Screw" describes AG-AIR/SCREW-15 as a permanent-magnet variable-frequency screw compressor with a touchscreen, six-level filtration and a built-in dryer. The heading says 15 bar, the body copy says 16 bar and the Buythis title says 16 bar; use 16 bar. The homepage says it suits fiber lasers up to 3kW, while the Buythis title says up to 6kW; follow Buythis.
How it is connected and maintained
From the AM.CO.ZA video 16 Bar Air Compressor and Nitrogen Generator Connection, Usage and Maintenance (2025-06-10, link below):
- The 16 bar air compressor runs on three-phase power (three phases plus neutral). Switch it on at the unit, then press start on the display panel.
- Compressed air goes through the inline air filters to the machine's regulator, and can also be fed to the nitrogen generator, which turns the air into nitrogen.
- On the generator, the blue pipe brings air in and the transparent pipe sends nitrogen out. The nitrogen goes to the machine's regulator and then into the machine.
- Compressor oil change every 2,000 running hours (check hours under Menu, Maintenance). Change the oil filter and the air filters at the same time.
- Drain water from the filters at least once a month, and regularly open the release valve at the front of the tank to drain water.
What it is used for
The homepage names three uses:
- Fiber laser welding: nitrogen as shield gas prevents oxidation for cleaner, stronger welds. It names LaserMaster™ 3-in-1 fiber laser systems and the RustOff™ laser cleaning range as partners.
- Laser cutting: nitrogen as assist gas gives clean cuts without oxidation or discolouration on RAYCUT™ fiber lasers (LF-1530 series named) and less smoke and fewer burn marks on truCUT™ CO₂ lasers.
- Nitrogen-filled tyres: steadier tyre pressure and longer tyre life.

The homepage also carries leftover blocks from other AM.CO.ZA sites (UV-DTF printers, Vinyl4 cutters, heat presses, air pumps, RAYCUT and truCUT cards, SoftwareTraining and Machine.Africa). Its FAQ answers are sublimation and company FAQs, not nitrogen ones. Ignore those blocks when answering nitrogen questions.

FAQ
Does NitroMaker need gas cylinders? No. It makes nitrogen from compressed air on demand, which is the main selling point on the homepage.
Which model has its own compressor? Only N2-PSA/AIR/2 (built-in compressor and dryer, 220V 3.6kW). The other models need cold, dry compressed air from a separate compressor.
How pure is the nitrogen? Buythis titles say 99.99% at 7 bar output. Older homepage and WP titles say 99.999%.
Which size should a client choose? The homepage sizes the range by handheld laser welders: about 1 m³/h per welder, from N2-PSA/1 up to N2-PSA/5. For laser cutting, check the cutting machine's gas needs with sales.
What maintenance does the setup need? Drain the filters and tank of water at least monthly, and service the compressor oil, oil filter and air filters every 2,000 hours.
Where can clients see one? The homepage says the Sunnyrock, Ekurhuleni (Gauteng) warehouse has a nitrogen demo centre, with a branch in Montague Gardens, Cape Town.
