Food Vacuum Degasser

Why juice and milk lines use a vacuum degasser

Air trapped in a drink does harm in several ways. Oxygen reacts with juice and turns it brown, and it can dull the taste over time. Gas that clings to pulp and fine particles makes them float, which spoils the look of the product in the bottle.

Taking that air out also cuts foam during high-heat sterilizing and filling, so bottles fill to a steady level. It lowers corrosion inside tanks and pipes as well. In most lines the degasser sits after the homogenizer and, in some plants, just before the filler.

Key figures for this model

• Rated capacity: 1000L/H
• Motor power: 5.2 kW
• Machine weight: 270 kg
• Material: stainless steel

The specification table below gives the automation level as "semi-automatic to fully automatic, model-dependent", the build as "stainless steel food-grade construction" and capacity as "varies by model and production scale". Those rows are typical for this type of unit, so we confirm them for your order.

Sizing the degasser to your line

The unit should match the flow of the homogenizer that feeds it. If your line runs faster than 1000L/H, a larger vessel or a second unit may suit you better. Buyers usually ask us how the degasser links to their pumps, so we recommend sending a simple flow sheet with pipe sizes and product type.

We also confirm your mains voltage and frequency, since the vacuum pump and motor are wired to suit the plant. For a full front end, the degasser pairs with our high pressure homogenizer and cream separator. The wider range sits in our food processing equipment and machines catalogue.

Export and tender supply

Each vacuum degasser is crated for sea freight and ships from China with its export papers. We supply buyers in the Philippines, Sri Lanka and other markets. For a tender, send the technical clause and we will check fit and the documents you need, as set out on our certifications and compliance documents page.
