Premier Nitrogen ^{tm
   Featuring... the Filling Station tm}

HERE'S SOMETHING THAT  MIGHT GET YOUR INTEREST!

A recent TIRE BUSINESS survey determined nearly 50% of all U.S. service centers will have Nitrogen Service by the end of 2009!  This is a certified fact!   The question is... will you be one of them?   Will you be adding $25,000, $50,000, $75,000 or more to your yearly "net" profit?  Remember, if you don't fill tires with Nitrogen, the competition down the street will be selling it to your customer... plus maybe more.   It's only a matter of time, everyone will need Nitrogen to be able to service tires and perform Undercar Service.

When we say Automatic, we really mean Automatic...

The Premier Nitrogen "Filling Station" is the only machine on the market with individual tire pressure monitoring.  Why is this important?  What if you want to service a vehicle with different front and rear tire pressures?  With other systems* you will have to go through two service cycles, one to fill the front tries and then another to fill the rear tires. Since the laws of physics dictates the time to purge and fill and then purge and fill again (normal procedure for 97% N2 concentrations) would be approximately 10 minutes, servicing the above dual pressure vehicle would take 20 minutes minimum.  Now add the spare tire to the equation (the most important tire on the vehicle for conversion) and it will take approximately 30 minutes for the entire service.   On the other hand, the Premier N2 Filling Station, requires a total time of only 10 minutes for this vehicle.  And that's for up to all 5 tires!  You don't add on service cycles, since all tires are filled at the same time and at the correct individual pressure setting according to the O.E.M. specs.

* Parker, Branick, Ingersoll-Rand, Nitro-Fill, PurigeN98, Ultrafill99, RTI, Tire Last, etc. 

You might wonder why we list our competitors on our web site, some you may not even know.  You might ask, aren't we afraid you'll call them and compare?  Well actually we are hoping you will.  Please call any one of the above companies and ask if their system can fill all five tires (or more) while individually monitoring the pressure in each tire during the purge and fill cycles. 

They may try to explain they have 4 or 5 hoses like the Premier System, but they'll conveniently forget to mention all those hoses are attached to a single manifold log with one single pressure.  If you want to fill different pressures on the same car, at the same time... you are out of luck.  If they are willing to admit they use a manifold, ask them how they compensate for the uneven final purge pressure and gas volumes, when their system shuts down based on "average" pressure as defined by the log sensor.  If this sounds a little complicated don't worry too much, they probably don't know what it means either or that it is technically important.

By now you're probably thinking you can't afford a Premier Nitrogen Filling Station.  Be prepared for a pleasant surprise because you won't spend $6,000, $7,000, $8,000 or more, as is the case with the less sophisticated machines from our competitors. 

No one can sell you a top quality, digitally controlled,
fully automatic Nitrogen tire filling system for less!

We unconditionally guarantee it!

 Plus we offer you the "only" fully digitally controlled / touch screen system on the market, it light years ahead in technology.

Why buy a GWR Premier Nitrogen Filling Station^tm

GWR's revolutionary design automatically delivers a consistent 99.99% concentration of Nitrogen to the tire, something no generator system can do.  Interestingly though, some manufacturers do claim they can... on their web site.  (IE: " NitroFill™ generators can produce nitrogen in excess of 99.9% purity and provide the procedures to guarantee a minimum of 95% purity in the serviced tire, which is the minimum allowable purity that must be maintained in the tire to enjoy the benefits that nitrogen provides.")  Well they are almost right with the 95% (it's 97%), although it is impossible to consistently get 99.9% with a generator due to inherent problems with membranes, filters and run time.

In comparison to our tank system, Nitrogen "Generating" machines fluctuate gas concentration by as much as 10% as their membrane filters become clogged with contaminants and oils from the shop's air supply. Worse, the net cost per tire runs from an absolute minimum of $1 to as much as $4... based on fixed yearly maintenance costs, the condition of the Generator's filtration and membrane system itself and the quality of the supporting air compressor.  Remember that the longer their system runs, the longer it takes to regenerate N2 because filter contamination grows and flow rates decrease with every hour or usage.

If this scares you and it should if you have a limited budget, you are a candidate for the Premier Nitrogen Filling Station!  Because there is no expensive membrane to replace down the road, the consistent final cost per tire with a Premier Filling Station is only .25¢ to .50¢, that's less than $2 per vehicle!  Not bad when you consider the average retail ticket for four tires is $30 to $40.  Yes, a 1000% to 2000% mark-up with virtually no labor or parts... plus our exclusive touch screen allows anyone on your staff to perform the simple service with only 5 minutes of initial instruction.

Do the math and you will see how the GWR Nitrogen Filling Station (tm) creates a 400% greater profit margin with 1/4 the labor time.  Our machines don't just put "nitrogen in tires", they do all four (or 4 plus spare) at one time, automatically! Generators, on the other hand have one hose and take 30 to 45 minutes to do the same service.  If they happen to have added more hoses now to keep up with the Premier System (so called "new and improved" models), they still take 30 minutes or more on a multi pressure vehicle.  In contrast, simply set the various tire pressures on the Premier Nitrogen's Color Touch Screen, push the start button and walk away.  In about 10 to 12 minutes all four or five tires, will have been purged and filled twice with virtually no labor on the technicians part.  Most important, there is no waiting time to "make more nitrogen" after two or three are filled, like some generators systems.  Can you or your customer wait an additional 10 minutes to an hour, for the generation and storage of more Nitrogen if a machine ran out during a service?  That's asking a lot!

Note:  Our systems can be configured to fill more than one vehicle at a time, with no waiting.  If you are a busy multi-bay shop this may be a money making option for you!  Remember, with our tank distribution system, there is never a wait to "generate" more Nitrogen before the next fill job.  You can even add multiple tanks with our exclusive automatic tank pressure monitoring system... it allows you to fill vehicles for weeks or even months without touching a tank.  Additionally there are new features now available that we decided not to discuss here, to keep from competitors eyes.  It's only fair they should have to research and develop new innovations like we do, not just take them from more progressive companies like Premier.

After all this, we still offer more...

 GWR's exclusive design reduces your initial cost when compared to big name generator filling systems.  They may have the name but they do not have the best system, that's a guaranteed fact!  For example, what if there is a break-down of your generator machine?  Can you afford to wait days of weeks for a service technician to come to your location?  Worse, do you want to crate the monster machine at your expense, to send it back for repairs that may take weeks or months.  If you purchase GWR's Premier Nitrogen Filling Station(tm) you won't need to, ever! On the slight chance you ever encounter a problem with our state of the art technology, you simply disconnect the hoses, unplug the power cord and then remove the entire top panel from the main metal housing/cart.  The 20 lb "brain" can then be sent via the US Postal Service, FedEx or UPS, for a quick repair at our factory.  Again, with our exclusive design, the whole repair process requires only one day in-house, before we turn it around.  Check out the warrantee of the big names and be sure to read the fine print... most are fully warranted for only 1 year, not the 5 years they claim.  Additionally, you must buy expensive multiple filters exclusively from them and follow a rigorous extensive maintenance schedule, otherwise you void the entire warrantee.  Finally, they make sure they are fully protected by stating your warrantee is void if they find one speck of oil in the membrane.... something virtually impossible in a shop environment.

A final though about "generators"...

You may be unaware of this fact, "generators" require the continual replacement of their expensive membranes ($3000-$5000) and multiple inline filters. Their salespeople will tell you a membrane last for 5 to 10 years, but they are talking absolute perfect conditions with an air compressor/filtration system that would cost you $10,000 minimum.  Reality is, there's no way to change this "built-in" design problem, so actual "real cost" of a generator's maintenance will probably be $1000 to $2000 per year. We regularly get calls from shops telling us they have replaced membranes within a year of the new purchase... at a cost in excess of $3000.   Worse, that amount does not include the enormous cost of electricity required to run a 12CFM or higher, 2 Stage, 175PSI air compressor, or the ware and tear on it.  (Note:  Standard shop compressors can run 3, to 4, to up to 8 hours per day since their volume and or pressure is generally not sufficient to push a high volume of air through the O2/N2 separating membrane, plus the production ratio of O2 to Nitrogen is about 3 to 1.  Additionally, shops may have to wait for extended periods of time for a generator system to manufacturer more nitrogen, possibly on a single vehicle.)

Amazing facts "they" don't want you to know:

A membrane's capacity to produce nitrogen will drop 61% when you try to increase nitrogen purity from 95% to 99% (example 8 scfm will drop to 3.1 scfm).  Additionally, membranes will lose the capacity to produce nitrogen when the temperature drops in the shop below membrane ambient operating temperatures, normally quoted at 68 degrees to 75 degrees.  On the average, for every one degree of temperature drop below these operating ambient temperatures, a membrane will lose .9% cubic feet of gas production.  This condition could be overcome by heating the air feed, however this adds additional operating expenses, plus the initial cost of new equipment.  Any way you look at it... membranes are expensive initially and for the long run!

Something new "they" came up with!

We found out something interesting while displaying our Premier Nitrogen Filling Station at the 2006 SEMA show in Las Vegas, a little over a year ago.  Several of the most powerful companies selling nitrogen generators have gotten together and formed a so call "information organization" to tout the benefits of nitrogen to the general public. Interestingly they have limited their founding and controlling members to four companies, the "big" generator manufactures (surprise, surprise).  Additionally, they are directing the information coming out to the public so that it seemingly supports a new opinion that you only need a 93% final concentration of nitrogen in tires.  We find this disturbing yet expected, since most generators can't fill tires with a greater than 93% concentration.  From the beginning of tire testing and discussions on nitrogen, all scientific testing and engineers in the rubber and tire manufacturing field have supported the 96% number as the absolute minimum.  Now, all of a sudden, non scientific based companies who only "assemble or re-label equipment" come up with a "new" theory. One that supports their limitations!  Who are we to believe?   Does it sound logical that replacing air with nitrogen in a tire is beneficial, yet you don't need to change as much as is physically possible?  They state that at 93% N2 concentration, we achieve a balance between outside and inside saturation levels of O2.  To make their theory plausible, I honestly believe they would need to change the law of physics.  I could be wrong, but someone would have to explain how air (oxygen) would go into a tire (through the walls) when exterior air pressure is 15psi and interior tire pressure is 30psi or more.  That's like trying to blow air into an inflated tire, with a hose and your mouth.  Please don't fall for this one, I believe technicians and shop owners are smarter than that.

Should we stop putting air in our tires?

What is Nitrogen?

Nitrogen is a dry, non combustible, inert gas making up 78% of the air we breath.  In the last 30+ years it has begun to find its way into the tires of giant off-highway earthmovers, aircraft and most every type of race car.

They main reasons are it improves performance, increases tire mileage, offers better fuel economy and extends the life of the tire's rubber and steel construction materials.

How does that happen?

Since air migrates through rubber, tires loose about 80% of lost air through their sidewalls.  Like a balloon that shrivels up... but much slower.  That is why regular inflation pressure checks are a must, even if nothing is "wrong" you can still loose air pressure at a rate of 1 to 2 lbs per month.  As a note, oxygen that passes through rubber sidewalls can come into contact with steel cords causing them to rust.  Between accelerating the aging process of rubber and corroding steel cords, oxygen reduces overall reliability of modern tires.

Adverse Effects of Under inflation!

Under inflation will cause high tire deflection and heat build-up, which in turn may lead to ply separation.  Low inflation pressure may also cause uneven wearing of the tread and rapid wearing of the shoulder areas.  Additionally there is an  increase in the tire footprint and this increase will eventually lead to damage of a tire's sidewall.  Running just a few pounds below the manufacturers  recommended pressure, can let to failure.  Picture at left is an example of Casing Break Up (CBU) in a bias tire at the lower sidewall caused by running the tire at pressures below those recommended.

 

Why use Nitrogen?
1.  Less inflation pressure loss 2.  Reduced wheel corrosion 3.  Prevents inner rubber deterioration by oxidation 4.  Tires run cooler 5.  Increases tread life 6.  Increases fuel mileage 7.  Helps prevent uneven wear	Please note that Under-Inflation is the leading cause of tire failure. Twenty-three per cent (23%) of vehicles have at least one tire under-inflated by more than 20%. Under-inflated tires on your vehicle lead to poor or delayed braking, steering and acceleration.  Operating a vehicle with just one tire under-inflated by 20% (8psi) can reduce the life of the tire by 15,000 km and can increase the vehicle's fuel consumption by 4%.
Oxygen in compressed air permeates through the wall of the tire, thus reducing the tire's inflation pressure. During it's journey through the tire wall, oxygen oxidizes the rubber compounds in the tire, causing under-inflation and deterioration of the rubber.   The Effects of Under Inflation on Tire Wear and Fuel Use Percentage of Under Inflation Percentage Wear Increase Fuel Use Increase 10% 5% 2% 20% 16% 4% 30% 33% 6% 40% 57% 8% 50% 78% 10% Dry nitrogen will maintain proper inflation pressure and will prevent auto-ignition, will not corrode rims, extends valve core life, and will help the tire to run cooler.

Interestingly, all gas molecules in the tire move and react based on their molecular size.  Nitrogen being 4 times larger than Oxygen obviously leaks out much slower!  The bottom line.... tire maintenance is reduced drastically along with actual tire wear.

where the tire world is heading...

NHTSA RESEARCH....
Chemical aging is due to oxygen diffusing through the tire composite and reacting with the internal components. If the rate at which air diffuses through the tire is slowed, the rate of chemical aging will be similarly slowed. (Review the FMVSS 139 for additional information on mechanical aging effects.)

AIR PERMEABILITY TEST PHILOSOPHY....
According to tire manufacturers: - tires with more expensive, 100% halogenated-butyl inner liners lose air at a rate of 2.0-2.5% per month (10 lbs per year @ 35 psi)- tires with cheaper, blended butyl inner liners lose air at a rate 4.00-5.0% per month - for the same inner liner compound, a thicker inner liner will lower the air loss rate - a reduction in air loss rate, by a factor of 2, may be achievable for some tires.

NITROGEN TEST....
In on the road tests involving over 7 million miles of truck tires inflated with nitrogen, tire failures were reduced by half and tread life increased by 25% to 30%. The benefits were repeated in the second tire life after re-treading. These mileage comparisons were followed by electron microscope analysis which measured oxygen levels in the tire body and tread of tires inflated with air and then operated on the road until replaced because of failure or tread wear. The results were conclusive; oxygen kills tires over time. Similar tests on automobile tires yielded comparable increases in tire life. (Reference: Million Mile Truck Tires – Available Today by Lawrence Sperberg.)

NITROGEN STUDY....
In a study reported in Rubber and Plastic News by David Coddington of Exxon Chemical Co. material from tires run for varying periods of road service and inflated with air was tested for tear strength. The laboratory findings; strength values are steadily decreased with increasing service mileage, leveling off at a value below 50% of original strength. In lab testing equivalent to less than 40,000 road miles, the relative strength of oxygen exposed tires declined to under 40% while the material from tires inflated with nitrogen held at over 80%.

TIRE DURABILITY TESTING.....
Tire life to failure point in laboratory wheel tests confirmed more than twice the life for the nitrogen inflated tires. (Reference: "Factors in Tubeless Radial Tire Durability", Rubber and Plastic News, August 1993.)

GOODYEAR BULLETIN.....
Nitrogen inflation has advantages in that tires will hold pressure longer using nitrogen. Nitrogen’s diffusion rate is 25% to 30% lower than air, significantly reducing tire pressure loss between inflation checks. Under inflated tires wear rate is increased to the point where a tire 10% under inflated will lose approximately 7% of it service life. On the other hand, properly inflated tires have less resistance to rolling. (References: Goodyear Application Bulletin #17 and Bandag Tread Guide, September 1995.)

AAA (AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION)....
Under inflated tires can cut fuel economy by as much as 2% per pound of pressure below the recommended level. Therefore a tire that is just five pounds below its setting will consume 10% more fuel. Additionally, tires with low air pressure are more sluggish in their response to steering input... compromising your vehicle’s handling.
