Vacuum Solutions for Chemical Process Industries - Brochure
Vacuum technology is revolutionizing the way we process and preserve food, making it safer, healthier, and more sustainable. By removing air from packaging or processing environments, vacuum technology creates optimal conditions to maintain food quality and safety.
Edwards vacuum solutions for edible oil processing
Edible oils and fats are naturally present in many foods, such as fruits, nuts, seeds, dairy products, meat, poultry, and fish. When crude oil is extracted from these sources, it must undergo refining to produce high-quality, consumer-ready products. This refining process removes unwanted impurities to achieve the purity and stability desired in edible oils. Whether through chemical or physical refining methods, vacuum technology plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and efficiency of these processes.
Efficient food processing with Edwards vacuum pumps
Vacuum technology streamlines various food processing, including freeze-drying, extraction, concentration, and distillation. These methods operate more effectively in a vacuum, as the lowered pressure allows these processes to occur at lower temperatures. This not only saves energy but also protects heat-sensitive nutrients from damage. For example, vacuum distillation allows food manufacturers to concentrate flavors and nutrients without applying high temperatures, which would otherwise alter or degrade delicate compounds.
Bringing energy efficiency to the food industry through vacuum technology
By accelerating processes such as drying and freeze-drying, vacuum technology reduces overall processing times, saving energy and lowering production costs. Reduced energy consumption not only brings cost savings but also lowers the carbon footprint of food production. Additionally, vacuum technology reduces the volume of food products by removing excess air, optimising storage space and transport resources. This reduction in volume minimises waste and further decreases energy usage across the supply chain.
Edwards vacuum pumps are trusted by leading food manufacturers at different stages of production, including degassing, tumbling, drying, freeze-drying, evaporation, cooking, rapid cooling, conveying, filling, and packaging.
Edwards vacuum solutions create a cleaner vacuum environment, ensuring product purity and improving food manufacturing operations.
