REDA – Airless milk deaerator

The REDA Airless milk deaerator removes dissolved air and gases from milk under vacuum. These gases can cause an unpleasant odour in the finished product.

Steiner Ukraine is the REDA distributor in Ukraine. The common principles of REDA equipment, including UHT configurations and separator design, are described on the page REDA.

How does the Airless milk deaerator work?

Milk is fed through a special distributor and spreads in a very thin film. Combined with the pressure drop, this releases dissolved air and degasses the product.

Non-condensable gases are removed from the vessel. The process is fully automated.

Why remove air from milk?

Air in milk causes oxidation. It can change the colour and taste of the product and reduce its nutritional value.

During milk and cream processing, the deaerator also works as a deodoriser. It removes off-odours caused by seasonality or changes in livestock feed.

Airless milk deaerator: key data

Where is the milk deaerator installed?

The Airless deaerator is standard equipment in every REDA UHT plant. It is also offered as an option for the fresh milk pasteuriser and ESL milk pasteuriser.

The unit is easy to integrate into an existing line. For juices, REDA offers a separate vacuum deaerator with aroma recovery, which returns aromatic fractions to the product.

How does Airless differ from deaeration at reception?

Initial deaeration is already performed at reception, on the FoamLess. The Airless deaerator works more thoroughly: it treats milk before heat treatment and removes off-odours.
