Vacuum Deaerator

A vertical vacuum vessel and product-transfer assembly remove entrained air from a suitable juice or pulp stream before downstream processing.

Liquid processing & packing

Release air from pumpable product

Deaeration can support handling of air-containing pumpable material. It does not remove all dissolved oxygen by a universal percentage and is not a sterilization step. Foaming, temperature, viscosity and aroma sensitivity influence the configuration.

Inside the working arrangement

Product enters a vessel operated under reduced pressure and is distributed to expose more liquid surface. Released gas travels to the vacuum system while deaerated product collects for onward pumping. The product inlet, liquid level and outlet pump need to work together to keep the vessel in its operating range.

Connections and material paths

Feed from a stable product source and coordinate outlet pumping with the vessel level. Keep the vacuum path separate from the product discharge. Thermal treatment downstream requires its own defined inlet condition; the deaerator does not set a safe thermal process.

Cleaning and maintenance access

Check vessel seals, sight points, product distribution parts and vacuum connections for fouling or leakage. Clean the actual wetted path and verify that trapped product drains. Vacuum equipment has its own service requirements and should remain accessible.

Selection questions

Details that change the configuration

Is vacuum level alone enough to specify the machine?

No. Product temperature, feed rate, distribution, foaming and the vacuum system all affect the duty.

Where does it belong in a puree route?

It is an optional step after a pumpable product has been collected and before the selected downstream treatment, where the product assessment supports it.
