Adversity Liberates new GOrilla 1500


A post from a few weeks ago discussed "the liberating force of adversity" and the paradox of great innovation in difficult times. This week's release of the new West Cryogenics 1500 gallon GOrilla is another prime example. While this vessel has been on the books for development a long while now there was a major challenge in trying to work the design in between so many competing priorities.

Well- get a little break from the mad rush of things and see what you get......

Once again, West Cryogenics has managed to innovate at a level not regularly matched. The new GOrilla will include all the standard features found on the existing 500 gallon and 850 gallon GOrilla portable cryogenic vessels:

- Combo Top Bottom Fill
- Robust Pressure Building System
- Road Relief Valve Allowing for Liquid Transport
- Gas Output with Economizer and External Vaporizer

It will also have an auxillary 2" liquid withdrawal line for those who want to add pumping systems for liquid delivery. Rated at 250psi mawp this vessel will afford flexibility to serve both gas feed and liquid delivery systems for liquid oxygen, nitrogen or argon. And- it can be paired up with its smaller 290 to 500 gallon cousins, cryogenic liquid cylinders or gas cylinders for an almost unlimited variety of Hospital and Medical Emergency Backup and Rapid Deployment applications or fitted with mixers for direct distribution of blended welding gases.

No- West Cryogenics does not enjoy economic downturns at all. But- once again- a little downturn has provided a great opportunity for innovative development.

There has been a tradition of using downtime to come out even stronger for the future and no one at West Cryogenics can see a reason to break that tradition this time.
