Water deaeration system for beverages
Achieve ultra-low oxygen content in beverage water to enhance taste and prolong shelf-life with precise vacuum deaeration and CO2 integration, perfect for both still and carbonated drink production.
Minimizes Oxygen in Beverage Production
The GEA DIOX-2 from GEA Group is a two-stage water deaeration system designed for beverage manufacturers aiming to enhance product quality by minimizing oxygen content. It operates through a sequential vacuum system, initially removing the majority of oxygen and further flushing out residual gases with CO2. This precise oxygen extraction is crucial for producing high-quality carbonated and non-carbonated beverages such as soft drinks, flavored waters, and fruit juices, ensuring prolonged shelf-life and unaltered flavors. The system offers flexibility with a throughput range of 50 to 900 hl/h, allowing seamless integration into existing production lines. Its compact design demands minimal space while ensuring low energy consumption, driven by integrated temperature control and optional sealing water cooling. Constructed with 316L stainless steel for excellent corrosion resistance, the GEA DIOX-2 supports sustainable operations with low CO2 usage and reduced operating costs. Cleaning is straightforward through its CIP-compatible design, facilitating ease of maintenance and minimal downtime.
