The document discusses a product called VarioSpin, which is a compact vacuum-assisted deaerator used for efficiently filling juice products without foam formation. It allows for gentle product feeding through a patented swirl inlet nozzle and adjustable vacuum pressure. Flavorings are recovered via condensation and returned to the product flow using a Venturi nozzle.

You have invested a great deal in order to develop a fruit juice beverage of top quality? You want to be sure that this quality is preserved in the manufacturing and filling processes? Then integrate the Krones product deaerator VarioSpin in your manufacturing process. With VarioSpin you make use of a compact vacuum-assisted deaerator which permits highly effective filling processes without the formation of foam at the filling valve.
At a glance
− Deareation tanks with patented swirl inlet
− Output: 7.5 to 60 m3/h − Recovery and return of flavouring through a Venturi nozzle − Internal recirculation for a multi-stage deaeration − Reduced mixing phases for short change-over times and low product losses
2 VarioSpin Method of operation
1 Gentle product feed
− Patented swirl inlet nozzle, which creates an immediate and even product layer on the inner container wall as soon as the product is coming in − Turbulent flowing film enables short diffusion paths for the gas bubbles coming from the product − The entire tank surface can be used for the deaeration process
2 Individual adjustment of the vacuum pressure
− Vacuum pressure adjusted to the infeed temperature and product properties
− Gentle feed prevents uncontrolled foaming − Vacuum pressure can be reduced to the point required for high deaeration performance
3 Recovery of flavouring losses
− Recovery of flavouring carry-over in a (multi-stage) condensation step
− Flavouring return via the Venturi nozzle in the discharging product flow with reliable homogenisation via the product pump − Avoidance of flavouring concentrate carry-over during the change-over to other beverages via intelligent back- flushing processes − Obtaining important flavouring in the beverage at the respective cooling temperature of the condenser

Simplicity, innovation and function –
the factors for the most effective product deaerator on the market
1 Efficient flavouring condensation 4 Water saving
− High product quality without the loss of − Reduced water consumption thanks to 5 flavouring sensation intelligent sealing water utilisation in the vacuum pump circuit − Only 10 l/h* of water instead of 1,000 l/h 1 2 Compact design − Minimum of mixing phases 5 Innovation: patented swirl inlet nozzle − No moving parts in the vacuum area − Gentle distribution − Short product dwell time in the system − Reduced foaming 2 − Smallest space requirement on the market − Product feed independent from the volume flow rate 4 − Entire tank as a material exchange 3 Venturi nozzle 3 surface − Just-in-time return of flavouring with reliable homogenisation via the product pump − High gas reduction

4 VarioSpin Components
Swirl nozzle
− Formation of a uniform product film upon entry of the
product into the container − Efficient use of the tank surface with reduced foam generation − High material exchange and significant gas reduction − Variably adjustable volume flow rate of up to 50 percent of the nominal amount without movable, high- maintenance parts − Generation of a large and turbulent product surface with slight layer thickness − Improved partial pressure conditions during deaeration due to higher speeds in the nozzle channels − Hygienic design with low product quantities in the tank and minimum mixing phases
5 VarioSpin Components
Deaeration tank − Conical design of the tank outlet to avoid the presence of deep gas bubbles in the filling level − Design of the tank adapted to the respective volume flow rate rates
Flavouring recovery − Condensation phase for volatile flavouring and steam − Recovery of the flavouring in the draining product flow by means of a reduced cross-section according to the Venturi principle − Targeted adjustment of the cooling agent temperature to below 10 °C possible thanks to optional cooling unit and multi-stage condensation − Integrated bypass for the separation of undesirable flavouring
Internal recirculation − Multi-stage deaeration for increased gas reduction rates − Use with products which are difficult to deaerate with respect to surface tension, viscosity, etc. − Recirculation volume adjustable within the system
6 VarioSpin Facts and figures
Compact systems with swirl inlet require...
− up to 50 percent less space − up to 60 percent less mixing phases
− Constantly high deaeration performances: up to 95 percent* exchange efficiency − High flavouring recovery rate of up to 95 percent*
* Depending on the product and initial concentration
7 VarioSpin Five reasons for product deaeration
Why should you integrate the VarioSpin in
your production line
− Reduced solute oxygen to avoid oxidation
− Minimisation of unwanted flavours (e. g. milk) − Prevention of problems during filling (especially with hot fill processes) thanks to reduced free gasses − Avoiding pulp and fibres floating up inside the bottle − Increased shelf time at UHT milk

8 VarioSpin Benefits to you
Comfortable operation and maintenance Flexible during operational changes
During the operation of the VarioSpin deaeration module, your employees If changes are carried out in your plant, the VarioSpin product deaerator adjusts profit from the ergonomically arranged measurement devices and sensors. to them. Since it is modular in design and software concept, the product Furthermore, the small number of seals and components is a clear advantage in deaerator can be quickly integrated in new lines or it can be supplemented as a daily operation. stand-alone solution. Foam-reduced filling The deaeration performance benefits from product which is fed in gently and a Variable product flow turbulent surface. Without foaming, the product can be deaerated highly efficiently. The technology of the swirl inlet guarantees flexibility in the deaeration performance. You can adjust the product flow at constant deareation rates by The right swirl up to 50 percent without any dynamic components and high maintenance effort. The dissolved gas can be quickly eliminated from the product with the thin product film upon entry into the deaeration container. And the performance of your filling line remains continually at a high level.
