BROADVIEW, Ill. -- Bosch Wheel Service has introduced the fully automatic NTF Nitrogen Tire Filling System. According to Bosch, the NTF is user-friendly and easy to use, and quickly fills four vehicle tires simultaneously, saving time and making a shop more efficient and productive.

For years, aircraft, race cars and over-the-road trucks have used nitrogen in tires because the larger nitrogen molecules do not permeate tire liners as quickly as smaller oxygen molecules. Properly inflated tires not only save fuel, but also increase handling and comfort, and run cooler, which results in longer tire life.

The fully automatic Bosch NTF 715 is easy to use, says the company. The technician simply hooks the hoses up to the vehicle's tires, programs the unit and the machine can quickly deflate and then fill four vehicle tires with nitrogen. And, with the optional "dually" hose installed, the NTF 715 can fill even more tires at the same time. If the customer just needs to top-off a single tire, the NTF 715 has a single-fill hose with gauge to easily add nitrogen to a tire.

The product also features a time-saving option to help increase shop productivity: the Technician Notification System, which allows the technician to walk away and work on another vehicle while the NTF 715 operates automatically, alerting the technician when the nitrogen filling job is complete. It also features an integrated rechargeable battery that provides power for a full day's use. This self-contained power feature provides a portability that lets the technician take the unit to the vehicle even when outside the service bay.

To ensure long machine life and optimal nitrogen purity, the Bosch NTF 715 features four filters - a water separator, oil separator, carbon filter bed and fine particulate filter, which all help reduce contaminants reaching the 5.1 CFM, fully-aged, large bore membrane. This membrane is the key to the NTF 715's high throughput and efficiency.

The NTF 715 Portable Nitrogen Tire Filling System is part of a full product line of wheel service equipment carrying the Bosch brand.
