Vacuum mixing and deaeration
Helps reduce entrained air in creams, gels, liquids and suitable formulations during controlled mixing.
APPLICATIONS · PHARMACEUTICALS & COSMETICS
Controlled vacuum for sensitive production processes.
Mixing, degassing, drying, evaporation, filtration and solvent duties are assessed around product sensitivity, vapour load, contamination boundary and cleaning requirements.
CONTROLLED PROCESS VACUUMProduct + vapour + cleanlinessOne coordinated system
PROCESS ROLE
Support product quality while managing gas and vapour.
The vacuum source sits outside the product-contact boundary but must be selected with that boundary in mind. Product carry-over, solvents, cleaning method and material compatibility influence every upstream protection stage.
Low-temperature drying
Vacuum can support moisture or solvent removal at reduced temperatures where the process permits.
Filtration and transfer
Pressure difference and compatible transfer equipment support selected filtration and fluid-handling steps.
Vapour and solvent management
Condensation and separation protect the vacuum source and support controlled handling of process vapours.
VACUUM DEAERATION
Control mixing, foaming and gas release together.
Viscosity, temperature, batch size, mixing geometry, pressure profile and process time determine the final arrangement.
SELECTING THE RIGHT SYSTEM
Define the process and contamination boundary first.
Four groups of information guide the chamber, protection and vacuum-source selection.
Talk to Our Technical TeamProduct and process step
Define formulation, viscosity, temperature and whether the duty is mixing, drying, filtration or distillation.
Gas, vapour and solvent load
Provide composition, expected rate, condensability and any hazardous or corrosive characteristics.
Cleanability and materials
Set product-contact materials, seal compatibility, cleaning method and permissible contamination.
Batch profile and controls
Specify vessel volume, fill level, pressure profile, process time, instrumentation and validation needs.

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.
