MINNUO Liquid Nitrogen Generator: Empowering the Animal Insemination Industry and Safeguarding the Future of Improved Breed Reproduction

I. The “Low-Temperature Rigid Demand” in the Animal Insemination Industry and the Core Value of Liquid Nitrogen Generators

In modern animal husbandry and breeding industry, animal insemination technology is a key link to improve the coverage rate of improved breeds and ensure the quality and output of livestock and poultry products. Whether it is livestock such as dairy cows, beef cattle, and pigs, or poultry and special breeding animals, the preservation, transportation, and precise insemination of high-quality breeding animal semen are inseparable from the support of a stable ultra-low temperature environment. As a core equipment capable of continuously producing ultra-low temperature liquid nitrogen at -196℃, the liquid nitrogen generator has become an important cornerstone for the animal insemination industry to move from “traditional breeding” to “efficient promotion of improved breeds”.

With more than 30 years of experience in gas separation and liquefaction technology, MINNUO Group has developed liquid nitrogen generators that not only provide stable and efficient liquid nitrogen supply for animal insemination scenarios but also reduce the costs of breeding enterprises through technological innovation. It helps the industry achieve the development goals of “quality improvement, cost reduction, and efficiency enhancement” and has become the preferred partner of many breeding enterprises and improved breed reproduction bases.

II. Core Principle of Liquid Nitrogen Generators: The “Transformation Code” from Air to Ultra-Low Temperature Liquid Nitrogen

To understand why liquid nitrogen generators have become “rigid demand equipment” in the animal insemination industry, it is first necessary to grasp their core working principle—converting abundant nitrogen in the air into liquid nitrogen that can be directly used for the preservation of breeding animal semen through precise air separation and liquefaction technology.

(I) Core Workflow: Three Steps to Realize “Air to Liquid Nitrogen”

1. Air Preprocessing Stage: External air first enters the filter to remove impurities such as dust, water vapor, and carbon dioxide. This step is crucial to ensure the stable operation of subsequent equipment and the purity of liquid nitrogen, avoiding pipeline blockage by impurities or affecting the quality of semen preservation.
2. Nitrogen Separation Stage: MINNUO’s liquid nitrogen generators adopt advanced Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology or cryogenic air separation technology (selected according to customer’s production capacity requirements) to efficiently separate nitrogen with a purity of over 99.99% from the preprocessed air. Among them, PSA technology is more suitable for small and medium-sized breeding enterprises due to its advantages of flexible start-stop and low energy consumption; cryogenic air separation technology can meet the high-yield requirements of large-scale improved breed reproduction bases (up to 2000L/h).
3. Nitrogen Liquefaction Stage: The separated high-purity nitrogen enters the low-temperature cooling system. Through processes such as compression and throttling expansion, the temperature of nitrogen is reduced to -196℃, converting it into liquid nitrogen, which is finally stored in a vacuum-insulated storage tank for immediate use in animal insemination scenarios.

(II) Key Components: The “Hardcore Support” for Ensuring Equipment Stability and Liquid Nitrogen Quality

The core advantages of MINNUO’s liquid nitrogen generators stem from strict control over key components:

• Vacuum-Insulated Storage Tank: Adopts a double-layer stainless steel structure with a vacuum between layers and filled with thermal insulation materials. It can effectively reduce liquid nitrogen evaporation (daily evaporation rate ≤1%), ensuring that the liquid nitrogen temperature in the tank remains stable at -196℃ for a long time and avoiding semen activity loss caused by temperature fluctuations.
• Intelligent Control System: Equipped with a touch screen and PLC control system, it can real-time monitor parameters such as liquid nitrogen output, storage tank liquid level, and equipment operating temperature. It supports automatic start-stop and fault alarm (instant reminder when liquid level is too low or temperature is abnormal), reducing the difficulty of manual operation.
• Energy-Saving Compressor: Uses imported brand compressors, reducing energy consumption by 15%-20% compared with traditional equipment. Long-term use can significantly save electricity costs for breeding enterprises.

III. Core Application Scenarios of Liquid Nitrogen Generators in the Animal Insemination Industry

Throughout the entire process of animal insemination, liquid nitrogen generators play a role in three key links: “preservation of breeding animal semen, transportation, and on-site insemination”, directly determining the efficiency and success rate of improved breed promotion.

(I) Long-Term Cryopreservation of Breeding Animal Semen: Extending the “Lifespan of Improved Breeds”

The semen output of high-quality breeding animals (such as high-yield dairy cows and lean-type breeding pigs) is limited. Without long-term preservation, the promotion scope of improved breeds will be greatly restricted. Using liquid nitrogen produced by MINNUO’s liquid nitrogen generators, breeding animal semen can be placed in liquid nitrogen tanks. In the ultra-low temperature environment of -196℃, the cell metabolism in the semen almost completely stops, thus realizing “long-term preservation”. Data shows that under standardized operation, cow semen can be preserved for more than 10 years, and pig semen can be preserved for more than 5 years. After thawing, the sperm motility can still be maintained above 70% (meeting the insemination standard).

Taking a large-scale dairy cow breeding base as an example, after introducing MINNUO’s 1000L/h liquid nitrogen generator, it can centrally preserve high-quality breeding bull semen from across the country without frequent purchase of fresh semen. It reduces semen purchase costs by more than 30% annually and significantly increases the breeding ratio of high-yield dairy cows.

(II) Cross-Regional Transportation of Breeding Animal Semen: Breaking “Geographical Restrictions”

Traditional animal insemination is obviously restricted by geography, making it difficult to promote high-quality breeding animal semen across regions. With liquid nitrogen produced by liquid nitrogen generators, semen can be loaded into portable liquid nitrogen tanks (with low liquid nitrogen evaporation rate, one filling can last 7-10 days), realizing “cross-provincial and even cross-national” transportation. For example, high-quality beef cattle semen from northern China can be transported to southern breeding bases through liquid nitrogen tanks, helping southern regions improve the quality of beef cattle breeds and solving the problem of “uneven distribution of improved breeds”.

Targeting transportation scenarios, MINNUO also provides customized liquid nitrogen tank supporting services. According to the transportation distance and semen volume, it recommends liquid nitrogen tanks of different specifications from 50L to 200L, ensuring that the semen is always in a stable low-temperature environment during transportation.

(III) On-Demand Liquid Supply for On-Site Artificial Insemination: Ensuring “Insemination Efficiency”

In the on-site artificial insemination link of breeding farms, the on-demand supply of liquid nitrogen is crucial. If the liquid nitrogen supply is interrupted, the sperm motility will drop sharply if the thawed semen is left at room temperature for more than 30 minutes, leading to insemination failure. MINNUO’s liquid nitrogen generators can achieve “24-hour continuous operation”, directly transporting liquid nitrogen to the insemination operation room of the breeding farm through pipelines, or replenishing liquid to on-site liquid nitrogen tanks from storage tanks at any time. It ensures that the insemination process is “available on demand” and avoids affecting the insemination progress due to liquid nitrogen shortage.

IV. MINNUO Liquid Nitrogen Generator: “Customized Advantages” for the Animal Insemination Industry

Compared with general-purpose liquid nitrogen generators, combining the special needs of the animal insemination industry, MINNUO has created differentiated advantages from three aspects: technology, cost, and service, truly addressing the actual pain points of breeding enterprises.

(I) Technological Advantages: “Precise Design” Adapted to Industry Scenarios

1. High-Purity Liquid Nitrogen Output: Animal semen has extremely high requirements for liquid nitrogen purity (impurities will affect sperm activity). The liquid nitrogen produced by MINNUO’s liquid nitrogen generators has a stable purity of over 99.999%, far exceeding the industry standard (99.99%), ensuring the quality of semen preservation from the source.
2. Flexible Output Regulation: To meet the needs of breeding enterprises of different scales, it provides liquid nitrogen generators with various output specifications from 100L/h to 2000L/h. Small-scale breeding farms can choose 100L-300L/h equipment (covering only 5-10㎡), and large-scale reproduction bases can choose 1000L-2000L/h equipment, avoiding the problem of “overcapacity for small demand” or “insufficient production capacity”.
3. Strong Low-Temperature Stability: By optimizing vacuum insulation technology and temperature control system, the temperature fluctuation range of liquid nitrogen output by the liquid nitrogen generator is ≤±0.5℃, ensuring a stable semen preservation environment and reducing semen loss caused by temperature fluctuations.

(II) Cost Advantages: “Cost Reduction and Efficiency Enhancement” for Breeding Enterprises

1. Reducing Liquid Nitrogen Purchase Costs: Traditional breeding enterprises need to purchase liquid nitrogen from external sources, with a purchase price of about 1500-2000 yuan per ton, plus transportation costs. However, MINNUO’s liquid nitrogen generators produce nitrogen from air, with a production cost of only 300-500 yuan per ton of liquid nitrogen. Taking a medium-sized dairy farm (needing 500L of liquid nitrogen per day) as an example, it can save more than 200,000 yuan in liquid nitrogen purchase costs annually.
2. Shortening Investment Payback Period: Depending on the equipment specifications, the investment payback period of MINNUO’s liquid nitrogen generators is only 6-18 months. Taking a 300L/h liquid nitrogen generator (market price of about 500,000 yuan) as an example, if it replaces the purchased liquid nitrogen, it can save 150,000 yuan annually, and the investment can be recovered in less than 4 years, with significant long-term economic benefits.
3. Reducing Labor and Management Costs: The equipment is equipped with an intelligent control system, which can realize unattended operation and reduce manual inspection costs. At the same time, there is no need to frequently connect with external liquid nitrogen suppliers, reducing the complexity of supply chain management.
