Bevcorp Deaeration & CIP Systems
Vacuum Deaeration
The Bevcorp vacuum deaerator is the most common form of deaeration used in meter-based blenders to achieve the lowest dissolved O2 value possible. The deaerator is a “vacuum/recirculation” type oxygen removal system with CO2 injection.
Advantages:
- Can supply from .75 to 1.2 ppm O2 content, depending upon water temperature
- Contains an atomizing diffuser in the water inlet to the deaerator allowing the water to give up most of the entrained gasses
- The elimination of entrained gasses from the water facilitates CO2 absorption in the mixed product
- Smaller footprint
- Less installation cost
- Deaerator and discharge piping are cleaned during CIP
- Historical data trending and reporting
CIP/Deaerator Integration
The Vacuum Deaerator has the capability of optional CIP functionality built into the same skid package. The existing vacuum tank becomes the CIP reservoir. The result on a conventional CIP system is a lower overall hardware cost limited to the heat exchanger with controls, the return and outlet temperature and chemical strength instrumentation. The operator interface is PC-driven with historical data collection and reporting.
- CIP functions are built into the vacuum deaerator skid by permitting the existing vacuum tank to become the CIP reservoir.
- Utilizes existing footprint, electrical and process piping connections and distribution pumps
- PC-driven operator interface with historical data collection and reporting
- Deaerator and discharge piping are cleaned during CIP
- Smaller footprint
- Lower installation cost
Audits
Bevcorp process engineers can audit your systems to identify equipment capabilities and deficiencies in blending units, service utilities, and refrigeration systems.
JBT Deaerator
When processing fruit juices and nectars, entrapped oxygen in the product after packing can seriously harm its quality. Flavored or enriched dairy products can be deaerated during the UHT process and greatly improves the product’s quality and shelf-life in these cases. Our deaerator vaporizes the product in a low pressure environment, which effectively separates all oxygen from the product. The vapor is then condensed and the aromas flow back into the system.
Features & Benefits
- Improves overall boiler room efficiency
- Removes carbon dioxide as well as oxygen
- Compact design means smaller boiler room requirements
- Integrated monitoring and control systems are available for the deaerator
- Raises the boiler feedwater temperature, eliminating thermal shock in boilers
Details
- Handles most liquid foods in order to maintain flavors and aromas during processing
Options & Models
- Can be equipped with a stirring mechanism to handle products with particles

Options & Models
Homogenizer
Our specially-designed homogenizer is a powerful, high-pressure pump, especially designed for use in UHT sterilization systems. By forcing the product through a narrow opening, larger drops of fat are broken up into smaller ones and are then spread evenly through the product. Additionally, the homogenizer is equipped with one or two heads, depending on the application and the product being processed.
Features & Benefits
- Long, economical lifetime
- Minimal maintenance costs
- Very versatile and easily adjustable
- Available in aseptic configuration
Details
- Best used for UHT white milk, UHT flavored milk, creams and juices

Hydromatic® ZCS
Our Hydromatic ZCS Sterilizer provides a highly efficient continuous processing solution specifically suitable for glass and plastic bottles. It maximizes large capacity processing of bottles with any type of retortable closure. The bottles are placed in individual pockets during processing, preventing impact and damage to the closure and allowing for mild end-over-end agitation in upper- and under-bends of the chain path. Use our system for short sterilization times in the range of 10-20 minutes.Used for pasteurization and sterilization of drinks in bottles with relatively short process times:
- Dairy drinks
- Yoghurt
- Non-carbonated beverages
- Soy drinks
- Juices
Hydromatic® Unicon
Used for highly dense foods requiring little to no agitation and long process times:
- Condensed soup
