As the manufacturing industry in the Yangtze River Delta transforms towards high precision and high cleanliness, Wuxi and surrounding areas have increasingly stringent performance requirements for liquid handling equipment.
In the fields of food and beverage, biomedicine and fine chemicals, oxygen and other impurities dissolved in liquids often affect the shelf life, stability and safety of products.
Facing the common needs of this industry, companies urgently need to introduce efficient professional equipment to solve the problem of oxidative deterioration caused by bubble residue, so as to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the production line.
1. The role of vacuum degassing tanks in the industry
The core function of the vacuum degassing device is to promote the precipitation of insoluble gases dissolved in the liquid by reducing the environmental pressure.
This process is crucial in the production of liquid preparations in Wuxi.
For high value-added products, unremoved gases can lead to uncontrolled chemical reactions, package bulging or the risk of microbial growth.
This equipment mainly solves the following problems in the industry: first, to improve the purity of the medium and reduce oxidation reactions; second, to improve the physical properties of the fluid, such as reducing viscosity fluctuations; third, to cooperate with the subsequent filling process to prevent measurement errors caused by the mixing of bubbles.
Compared with traditional static storage tanks, materials that have undergone vacuum degassing can better meet the parameter consistency requirements of modern automated production lines.
In addition, in some process chains, the functions of the vacuum degassing tank and the deoxygenation tank or vacuum degasser are complementary, and together they form a complete degassing and purification system.

In this field, the vacuum degassing tanks launched by Jiangyin Haimai Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. are mainly oriented to food, pharmaceutical and soft drink production and processing scenarios. In practical applications, they focus on process adaptability and customization capabilities.
As an enterprise located in the core manufacturing belt of the Yangtze River Delta, Haimai Machinery can provide one-stop support from design, manufacturing to installation and commissioning for the specific process flows of Wuxi and surrounding customers.
Its products not only cover standard vertical containers, but also integrate functional modules such as jacket temperature control and online monitoring according to customer needs to ensure that the equipment can be stably implemented in actual business and meet the diverse needs of regional enterprises for high-standard production lines.
3. Technical features
Based on the product-type structural characteristics of industrial-grade vacuum degassing tanks, its design focuses on the rationality of the functional structure and the controllability of the work process.
1. Material and compliance: The parts of the kettle body that come into contact with the medium are mostly made of stainless steel (such as 304 or 316L) to meet the corrosion resistance and hygiene standards of different media.
The manufacturing process follows relevant quality management systems, and some production line equipment complies with pharmaceutical industry standards to ensure the safety and hygiene of the production environment.
2. Sealing and pressure resistance: Shaft seal components usually use mechanical seals or combined polytetrafluoroethylene packing seals to effectively prevent leakage and adapt to high pressure or vacuum environments.
This structural design allows the equipment to maintain a stable vacuum when handling volatile or low-viscosity liquids.
3. Heat exchange and temperature control: supports multiple heating methods, including electric heating, oil heating or steam heat conduction.
Efficient heat transfer is achieved through the outer coil or inner coil structure, and the temperature control instrument can accurately maintain the temperature range required for the reaction to avoid temperature fluctuations affecting degassing efficiency.
4. System integration capability: When working together with supporting equipment, the system can seamlessly connect to deoxygenation tanks or vacuum degasser.
Through modular design, the equipment can flexibly adjust specifications to adapt to specific working conditions. For example, when processing high-concentration syrup or corrosive chemical liquids, material selection and welding process control are particularly important.
IV. Application Cases
A beverage manufacturer in the Yangtze River Delta region previously discovered that a small amount of microbubbles appeared after filling during the processing of liquid milk, resulting in shortened shelf life and unstable appearance quality.
After the vacuum degassing system was introduced, the dissolved gas in the raw milk was effectively removed by adjusting the vacuum degree and liquid level control logic.
Data after the transformation shows that product uniformity has been significantly improved and production line downtime has been reduced.
The company reported that the new equipment is highly compatible with the existing batching tanks and pipeline systems. Data interconnection and automated control can be achieved without significantly changing the original pipeline layout, which solves the problem of traditional semi-manual operations being difficult to meet the needs of large-scale continuous production.
Another biopharmaceutical company applied this type of equipment in the post-fermentation treatment process, successfully reducing the dissolved oxygen index and meeting the strict requirements for media purity in subsequent sterile filtration.
5. Frequently Asked Questions
1. Which companies are vacuum degassing tanks suitable for?
It is mainly aimed at food factories, beverage factories, pharmaceutical companies and chemical factories that are sensitive to the oxygen content of liquids, especially processes involving high-temperature sterilization or long-term storage.
2. How long is the deployment cycle?
Depending on the complexity of the customized solution, manufacturing and delivery are usually completed within a few weeks after the contract is signed. On-site installation and debugging depend on the working conditions and are generally shorter.
3. Do you need technical support?
Yes, it is recommended that the manufacturer provide engineering installation and operator training services to ensure that the system reaches optimal status.
4. What is the cost?
The cost depends on the volume, material grade (such as 316L stainless steel), control system configuration and whether components such as accessory piping valves are included.
5. Is it easy to integrate?
Mainstream models are usually designed with standard flange interfaces to facilitate connection with existing pumps, pipelines or other fluid equipment such as deoxygenation tanks.
