Product catalog summary
Introduction to Vacuum Deaeration Systems
EmulXion specializes in continuous vacuum deaeration systems designed to remove entrained air from liquids, emulsions, slurries, and pastes. This process enhances product quality by improving texture, density, and reducing oxygen exposure in sensitive formulations.
Key Benefits of Vacuum Deaeration
  • Reduces visible bubbles and trapped air, improving appearance and texture uniformity.
  • Supports consistent density and filling, reducing oxygen exposure in sensitive formulations.
Challenges with Entrained Air
Entrained air can enter during mixing, ingredient addition, and transfer, causing issues such as bubbles, voids, and uneven surface appearance. It affects product quality and production by causing unstable pump performance and additional settling time.
Physics of Vacuum Deaeration
Lowering pressure allows trapped bubbles to expand and escape. The system uses a thin film exposure to vacuum, which helps separate gas from the liquid. Key factors include pressure, temperature, film thickness, and product flow.
Deaeration Process
  • Continuous operation with vacuum maintained in the chamber.
  • Product is distributed by a rotating disc into a thin film.
  • Treated product is transferred downstream.
Configurable Sieves and Product Treatment
Removable sieves provide additional mechanical treatment, disrupting residual bubbles and improving texture and dispersion consistency.
Applications
  • Food and Beverage: Mayonnaise, sauces, dairy emulsions.
  • Cosmetics and Personal Care: Creams, lotions, shampoos.
  • Pharmaceutical and Nutraceutical: Topical creams, syrups.
  • Chemical and Industrial: Adhesives, paints, lubricants.
Integration into Production Line
Effective deaeration requires strategic placement in the production line, considering upstream and downstream connections, flow balance, and pump selection.
Hygienic Design and Cleanability
EmulXion ensures product-contact construction is compatible with the formulation and production environment, with clean-in-place provisions and access for maintenance.
Engineering Options and Controls
Systems are tailored to product behavior, utility availability, and installation requirements, with options for materials, automation, and integration.
Conclusion
EmulXion offers engineering solutions that enhance product quality by addressing gas removal requirements, product behavior, and ingredient sensitivity. The systems are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing production processes, ensuring consistent product quality and performance.

FLUID ENGINEERING REVOLUTION WHERE ENTRAINED AIR CREATES PROBLEMS Air can enter during mixing, ingredient addition and transfer. Some bubbles appear as surface foam; others remain dispersed within the product. Viscous formulations can hold these bubbles long after mixing stops. COMMON SOURCES Agitation and high shear mixing Powder addition and poor inlet conditions Air leaks in transfer lines Gas released by ingredients or reactions EFFECTS ON PRODUCT QUALITY FILL CONSISTENCY Bubbles, voids and uneven surface appearance Variable apparent density and fill volume SENSITIVE INGREDIENTS Oxidation...
