What is a Vacuum Degassing Machine?
A vacuum degassing machine or vacuum deaerator uses a vacuum-based method to extract undesired air from liquid products. The machines consist of several parts: a vacuum pump, a condenser, and a degassing chamber.
In the processing of juices and dairy products, oxygen and air can cause spoilage which may lead to discoloration, imbalances in taste and aroma, loss of vitamins, and increase or decrease the flavor. Avoiding these quality issues during the milk and juice fill process augments the product quality, ensuring premium results.
Primary Functions Related to Milk and Juice Processing
1. Milk Denazification
The presence of oxygen and other gases in milk products can accelerate fat oxidation, creating rancid and savory off-flavors. Furthermore, using a vacuum degassing machine prior to pasteurization, and/or sterilization:
- Minimizes sensitive component such as vitamin and protein oxidation
- Minimizes foaming during bottling
- Assists in internal corrosion mitigation of the containers
- Enhances stability during storage and shipment
2. Juice Degassing
Even though juices from fruits contain sugars and some essential nutrients, award’s 11.01 degassing f juices protects them from spontaneous oxidizing processes such as browning. During this process:
- Maintaining vibrant colors of the substances by preventing oxidation
- Protection of volatile compounds and fruity aroma to enhance taste
- Minimization of microbial spoilage
- Ensuring clarity of the juice and cleanliness of the end product
Core Benefits
Business processes which include performance and operational efficiency are achievable with Vacuum Degassing Machine. With it comes:
- Precise quality of product – Extracting oxygen mitigates oxidative spoilage, cube, browning, and flavor.
- Better energy transfer during heating and lower operational sound”, because it mitigates the air pockets.
- Reduces aging of the product owing to the minimized oxidative processes, slows down the processes leading to spoilage.
- Additionally, halting cavitation in water pumps manages system noise.
- Cyclic and responsive setting complexity allows for manual adjustment to time influence volume and other controllable parameters.
- Large Capacity: Up to 150m³ systems are supported. For larger capacity requirements, multiple units can be installed in parallel.
- Simple Installation and upkeep: Total automation allows for simple controls, minimal upkeep, and automated operation.

Why Our Vacuum Degassing Machine Stands Out
Reliability and performance are important factors to consider when purchasing a vacuum degassing system. Our machines are precision-engineered for continuous, industrial-grade operations while also providing a low-maintenance and energy-efficient design. Additionally, configurability for food-grade stainless steel processing lines is provided to fully integrate into existing production line structures.
Common Questions (FAQ)
Q1: All juice types require a vacuum degassing machine?
Yes, especially fresh juices or those high in vitamins and color. Keeping oxygen out is important to keep spoilage at bay and maintain freshness.
Q2: Does it impact milk or juice flavor?
No. Rather, flavor-preserving degassing counteracts flavor degradation by removing oxygen.
Q3: How challenging is it to install and operate?
Fully automated operations with simple user interfaces and an optimized workflow outline for the system permits hassle-free installation. Instruction and training prerequisites are significantly minimized.
Q4: Is this machine applicable in a CIP system?
Degassing units are designed to be CIP-compatible for hygienic and efficient cleaning.
Q5: What is the timeframe for delivery and installation?
Delivery is pegged at a duration of 20 to 30 working days. The timeframe for installation depends on the complexity of the system and other readiness factors on site.
Final Thoughts
For dairy and juice manufacturers dedicated to refining product quality, maintaining strict hygiene standards, and enhancing shelf life while preserving flavor and nutritional content, a vacuum degassing machine is an investment that pays off. This machine offers robust construction alongside an intelligent control system for operational efficiency and reliability, market-ready product excellence, and proven effectiveness.
