The degassing and defoaming equipment has attracted considerable inquiries especially from major food manufacturers nationwide.
Yokota found that there are new applications for decelerating oxidization and decay by means of degassing from gas-dissolving liquid type food or beverages.
Air and/or foam dissolved in liquid is troublesome in liquid type food manufacturing plant.
It hampers smooth flow within the equipment and precise measurement of its volume.
In addition, should air be dissolved in milk or juice, etc, it accelerates oxidization and deteriorates freshness and taste.
Conventional degassing and defoaming equipment using a large tank, in which food is degassed or defoamed naturally and slowly, have mostly been used to prevent such trouble.
Although there was a method employed for shortening the degassing or defoaming time, saving time was limited.
In such a situation Yokota's degassing and defoaming equipment, which enables quick and continuous degassing and defoaming, has arrived and monopolized the Japanese domestic market.
It is needless to say that this equipment has been watched by food industry with keen interest for improvement of quality and efficiency in production process.
This equipment, through their patented mechanism, remove gas mixed in liquid by centrifugal force, and the maximum capacity is 4000 litre/h (Model ASP-0510).
For demonstration of performance, Yokota leases the equipment overseas - subject to nondisclosure pledge and deposit.
