What Does This Equipment Do?
After fruit is pulped or juice is extracted, the juice or puree contains a considerable amount of dissolved air and oxygen. If it is filled directly without removing the air, several problems can occur:
- The juice can oxidize quickly and turn brown, affecting its color and flavor.
- Continuous foaming during filling can lead to poor sealing and a higher return rate.
- Shelf life can be significantly reduced, making it difficult to pass export inspection requirements.
The Vacuum Degassing Machine is specifically designed to solve these problems. Under vacuum conditions, it removes air and oxygen from the product, helping the juice retain its fresh color and flavor, reducing foaming during filling, and extending shelf life.
It is a key piece of pre-processing equipment installed after pulping in the processing line and is used together with equipment such as homogenizers and sterilizers.
What Products Can The Industrial Vacuum Degassing Machine JP-ZKTQ Series Process?
Citrus fruits (orange, grapefruit, lemon), apples, peaches, pears, strawberries, blueberries, tomatoes, mangoes, pineapples, bananas, kiwifruit, prunes, sea buckthorn, pomegranates, and dates.
Purees made from carrots, pumpkins, beetroot, celery, spinach, and other vegetables.
For high-viscosity products such as mango puree, banana puree, and date paste, high-acid products such as lemon juice and sea buckthorn juice, and products containing fiber or pulp particles such as pulpy orange juice and tomato sauce, the complete machine can be customized according to the characteristics of the product, including tank material, vacuum level, and pump type.
Four Questions You Care About Most
After deaeration, the juice has significantly better color and flavor than untreated juice, while foaming and product overflow during filling are reduced.
Industry experience shows that when the deaeration process is properly controlled, product shelf life can be extended by more than 30%, while return losses caused by oxidation and color changes can be significantly reduced.
For juice processing plants producing products for export, this is a standard piece of equipment.
The capacity of a single unit ranges from 0.3 T/H to 10 T/H.
Both feeding and discharge are continuous and automatic. The feed pump and discharge pump are controlled in coordination, eliminating the need for frequent manual adjustment.
The machine body is made of 304 stainless steel and can be equipped with Siemens/Omron electrical control components.
24-hour continuous production is fully supported, and one person can operate and monitor the equipment.
All parts of the machine that come into contact with the product are made of 304 food-grade stainless steel. Both internal and external welds are polished, with no dead corners.
The tank can be equipped with CIP automatic cleaning spray balls, allowing the equipment to be cleaned in place without disassembly.
It complies with the hygiene requirements of food processing plants for export, and also meets EHEDG hygienic design requirements.
The total power of the machine is 7–11 kW, so power consumption is not high.
There are few wearing parts, mainly the vacuum pump seals and mechanical seals, and these have a long replacement cycle.
The tank has a simple structure and is easy to clean. One person can operate and monitor the equipment, without requiring additional personnel.

Which Model Should Your Factory Choose?
Start-Up / Small Plant
Daily production: 2–5 tons → Choose JP-ZKTQ-0.5T ~ 1T
Compact and economical, requiring less floor space. It can be operated by one person and is suitable for flexible production of multiple products.
Medium-Sized Production Plant
Daily production: 10–30 tons → Choose JP-ZKTQ-2T ~ 5T
Equipped with variable-frequency speed control and PLC automatic control. It can be linked with homogenizers and sterilizers and is suitable for continuous multi-shift production.
Large Export-Oriented Plant
Daily production: more than 50 tons → Choose JP-ZKTQ-8T ~ 10T
Equipped with a NASH vacuum pump, automatic CIP cleaning, and branded electrical control components. It meets export certification requirements and supports stable 24-hour operation.
Customized Configurations for Special Operating Conditions
For areas with limited water availability, the vacuum pump can be equipped with a closed-loop cooling system.
For high-acid products such as lemon and sea buckthorn, the equipment can be upgraded to 316L stainless steel.
For low-temperature processing, a jacketed cooling system can be provided.
The Vacuum Degassing Machine addresses the most common problems faced by juice and fruit puree plants: oxidation and color changes, foaming during filling, and short shelf life.
The equipment has a relatively simple structure, while delivering direct results. The complete machine is made of 304 stainless steel, features continuous automatic feeding and discharge, supports CIP cleaning, and can be operated by one person.
