Indelague
A Indelague, referência internacional na indústria da iluminação, passou a ter azoto a pedido para o seu corte laser, gerado no local pela Briskfil. Tão simples como abrir uma torneira: azoto sempre disponível, cortes limpos nos componentes das luminárias, fim das garrafas e uma poupança significativa no custo do gás.

On-demand nitrogen generation
Powering laser cutting without relying on cylinders
A manufacturer of high-quality luminaires with award-winning design, Indelague produces the metallic components of its luminaires in-house, using laser cutting for aluminum and steel sheets. This process requires high-purity nitrogen at constant flow and pressure to ensure clean cuts on parts that are often visible in the final product.
Supply via cylinders and tanks brought recurring and variable costs, delivery logistics, stock management, and the risk of a gas shortage in the middle of production. For a company that thrives on deadlines and finish quality, this was a dependency that needed to be eliminated.
The goal was to have nitrogen always available on-site, with the right purity for laser cutting, at a lower and more predictable cost, and aligned with the sustainability values that Indelague already assumes in its production.
From cylinders to on-demand nitrogen
The difference between buying bottled nitrogen and generating it on-site is felt in cost, logistics, and production peace of mind.

Buying nitrogen
- High and variable cost per cubic meter
- Deliveries, logistics, and cylinder management
- Risk of stock shortage during production
- Recurring transport with a carbon footprint
Generating nitrogen
- Lower and more predictable cost per cubic meter
- In-house production, always available
- No shortages and no dependence on suppliers
- Less transport, lower environmental impact
Gas costs under control
In laser cutting, nitrogen is the gas of choice for cutting aluminum and steel without oxidation. Being inert, it expels oxygen from the cutting zone and prevents oxide formation, resulting in clean and shiny edges. For a lighting brand whose parts are often visible in the final product, this cutting cleanliness is part of the quality that distinguishes it.
For those who consume nitrogen every day, the issue is rarely just technical; it is economic. Buying nitrogen in cylinders means paying for the gas, the supplier’s margin, transport, and logistics, always at a varying price. And it means living with the risk of running out of gas at the worst possible moment.
On-site generation solves both issues. Indelague produces nitrogen from ambient air at the pace of its production, with a much lower and more predictable cost per cubic meter. The investment pays for itself as it replaces recurring invoices for bottled gas, and nitrogen stops being a concern and simply becomes a tap that is always open.
There is also a gain based on Indelague’s values. By eliminating the recurring transport of cylinders, the solution reduces emissions and waste, adding to the sustainability efforts the company already carries out at its industrial unit.
On-demand nitrogen in laser cutting: the essentials
It means generating nitrogen on-site from ambient air and having it always available according to demand, just like turning on a tap. There are no cylinders, deliveries, or shortages: nitrogen is produced continuously and at the pace of production.
Savings depend on consumption volume, but on-site generation eliminates the supplier’s margin, transport, and logistics, significantly reducing the cost per cubic meter and making it predictable over time.

Yes. By ending the recurring transport of cylinders and reducing waste, on-site generation decreases associated emissions and aligns with carbon footprint reduction goals.
Yes. The plant includes a buffer tank that absorbs consumption peaks and maintains stable pressure and flow. Briskfil’s preventive maintenance keeps the system reliable and nitrogen always available.
