Hot water deaeration system for beverage production
In beverage production, dissolved oxygen can affect both the shelf life and taste. Efficient hot water deaeration is critical to ensure the quality of beverages and to extend their shelf life.
Achieve low residual oxygen content
The GEA VARIDOX-H is a hot water deaeration system designed to significantly reduce oxygen levels in water used for beverage production. By feeding water at 72°C into the deaeration column, the oxygen solubility is minimized. Countercurrent CO2 further aides in oxygen release while the integrated plate heat exchanger technology allows for 90% heat recovery. The system also contains sensors for flow rate, filling level, and optional oxygen monitoring, ensuring precise control over the deaeration process. With capabilities to reduce residual oxygen levels to less than 0.02 mg/l, this system is ideal for enhancing beverage quality. The GEA VARIDOX-H is tailored for use in a range of flow rates from 20 hl/h to 1,000 hl/h, making it versatile for different scale operations. Additionally, the system’s design allows for easy integration and maintenance, offering a balance of performance and cost-efficiency.
