Lower-temperature concentration
Vacuum can reduce boiling temperature during evaporation and concentration where the product and process permit.
APPLICATIONS · FOOD & BEVERAGE
Vacuum matched to the product and vapour load.
From evaporation and concentration to degassing, cooling, filling and material transfer, the system is selected around product behaviour and the real gas or vapour load.
FOOD PROCESS VACUUMProduct + vapour loadA process-specific duty point
VACUUM IN PRODUCTION
Manage process conditions that change with the product.
Target pressure alone is not sufficient. Product temperature, viscosity, foaming, moisture and vapour load—and the risk of product carry-over—must be considered together.
Air and gas removal
Entrained air can be reduced before filling or the next production step.
Vacuum cooling and filling
Controlled evaporation or pressure difference can support suitable cooling and filling processes.
Closed raw-material transfer
Suitable dry granules and powders can be moved through a filtered, enclosed conveying line.
VACUUM EVAPORATION
Separate vapour from the product and protect the pump.
A suitable condenser and separator manage condensable load before the vacuum source, based on temperature, concentration target and operating pressure.
SELECTING THE RIGHT SYSTEM
The product name alone cannot select the pump.
The vacuum system is assessed from the product-contact boundary through to the vacuum source.
Talk to Our Technical TeamProduct and process step
Liquid, viscous, foaming, granular or powdered products impose different requirements.
Target pressure and actual load
Include product temperature, air, moisture, vapour and continuous leakage.
Product contact and cleaning boundary
Define contact materials, seals, connections, cleaning method and separation between product and vacuum source.
Duty and line architecture
Assess batch or continuous operation, cycle time, piping and losses through filters and condensers.

APPLICATION ENGINEERING
The vacuum source is one part of the complete system.
Reliable performance depends on the pump or blower, protection equipment, line arrangement, controls and the real process operating point.
Operating point
Capacity and pressure are checked together at the actual inlet conditions and duty cycle.

Filters, separators, condensers, receivers and valves are selected around moisture, particles, liquid carry-over and process risk.
