Defoaming and transfer of liquid containing foam or foaming liquid

Patented in Japan, U.S.A., other

Bore 50-100mm

Total head 10-20m

Capacity 0.2-2m3/min

Unique defoaming equipment capable of continuous suction, defoaming and transfer

of liquid containing gas bubbles.

It is often the case that gas bubbles are generated in the processing of liquids such as liquid
foods, beverages and chemicals, and the bubbles cause the following difficulties:

Measurement of liquid quantity becomes inaccurate, and flow rate control becomes
difficult.

Troublesome and costly removal of overflowing bubbles.

Bubbles cause difficulty in sending liquid to the next process.

Bubbles overflow during packaging, causing deterioration in packaging efficiency.

These problems have been commonly dealt with by giving time for the bubbles to settle
down. However, this creates new problems due to the amount of time required for bubbles
to settle down, causing a loss in processing time, and the necessity of installing a large tank
for stabilization of liquid, which increases processing costs.

The Defoaming Pump, Defoaming Equipment UPSA type can clearly solve all these
problems.
The pump, with an interlocked vacuum pump, produces a stable supply of defoamed liquid
by continuously separating and discharging gas bubbles from liquid at surprising
efficiency.
This pump (defoaming equipment) defoams liquid mechanically without using any
chemical additive. Therefore it is safe, does not cause contamination, and greatly reduces
maintenance costs.

Principle of defoaming (PAT.)

When pumping liquid containing gas bubbles

flows into the inducer, liquid and gas are
initially separated by rotation of the inducer.
The mist-like gas-liquid mixture accumulates
in the central area of the casing.

The gas-liquid mixture is transferred through

the main impeller to the separating impeller.
The remaining liquid in the mixture is further
separated and the gas is drawn out by the
vacuum pump.

The liquid separated by the separating impeller

returns to the intake of the inducer by
centrifugal force.

Minute gas bubbles remaining in the liquid are

confined to the central area of the casing by the
pressure difference generated by the main
impeller and transferred to the separating
impeller, by which defoaming efficiency is
further enhanced.

Surprising defoaming efficiency!

Overview of operation Conditions before and after defoaming

on the right

Results show that a high volume of gas bubbles at the intake side are completely
eliminated at the outlet side.
