Redefine achievable.
NITROcrete exists to enhance the lives of the people who build our communities. Together with our industry partners, we improve safety, profitability, and sustainability. As the concrete industry innovates, NITROcrete brings concrete cooling into the 21st century.
Automate Cooling
Lower concrete temperature with liquid nitrogen delivered with updated concrete technology. Automated, adaptive batching maintains concrete cooling, even in hot weather concreting.
Learn more about automated cooling...Speed-Up Production
Automation means increased production and reduced pour time, without compromising quality. This can shave days or weeks off project time.
Learn more about how NITROcrete speeds up concrete production rates...Enhance Safety
By delivering liquid nitrogen as an admixture, NITROcrete makes concrete operations safer for workers. We remove ice cooling from the equation and instead introduce reliability with less strain and hassle.
Learn more about safety...Reduce Carbon Emissions
As the industry moves towards more sustainable concrete, NITROcrete is another way concrete producers can reduce waste & carbon emissions by leveraging the latest technological advancements in concrete cooling.
Learn more about the environmental advantages...What is NITROcrete™?
NITROcrete automates temperature control for concrete cooling that's simpler and more reliable. As the world leaders in temperature control, we support the industry with the latest technology in the hands of knowledgeable, dependable support.
NITROcrete delivers liquid nitrogen as an admixture, automating cooling to achieve lower temperature without downtime or labor strain.
With NITROcrete™, automated concrete cooling is informed by data analysis, precision dosing, and seamless integration with existing systems.

Equipment, software integration, and ongoing support
Sustainability in Concrete Control
With the confidence of temperature control, our customers build for the future. They build with durable concrete and reduce waste.
Reduce Carbon Emissions
NITROcrete reduced CO2 emissions by 83% when compared to conventional ice cooling in a third party life cycle analysis report.
Avoid Waste
By meeting temperature specification, concrete avoids wasted loads, thereby avoiding the subsequent energy waste during production.
Lower Energy Consumption
With a more streamlined process, NITROcrete means a 66% reduction in energy usage when compared to conventional ice cooling.
Curtail Particulate Matter
Compared with conventional ice cooling, NITROcrete™ produces 87% less particulate matter.
Eliminate Polythene Bags
Without the need for thousands of ice bags for cooling, liquid nitrogen eliminates polythene bag waste from ice.
Prevent Injury
NITROcrete plays a crucial roll in our industry partners' comprehensive plans to reduce strain on labor to make work safer and easier.
