Contributing to productivity and quality improvement
Yokota Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
Defoaming/Degassing Pump ASP Type

Promoting itself as a company finding solutions to water and liquid handling problems, YOKOTA manufacturers and sells pumps and valves, and holds more than 100 patents. The "YOKOTA Defoaming/Degassing Pump ASP type" is a pump that was developed by applying the self-priming pump technology accumulated over many years and it can transfer water only after separating and discharging the air from the water.

In combination with an interlocked vacuum pump, it can instantly and continuously discharge wasteful foam, bubbles and gas occurring when blending and agitating liquid food products. By equipping self-priming and pressurization functions, the conventional notions that food product defoaming/degassing requires expensive and large equipment have been overturned. In addition to its ability to manage everything from pumping to agitation, defoaming/degassing, and pressure feed as a single unit, the compact 300 mm wide and 800 mm long design enables its installation with almost no changes to an existing processing line, making it all the more attractive. What's more, because the pump has a minimal number of parts and a simple structure, maintenance and disassembly, and cleaning are easy.

The intended use is for defoaming/degassing processing at each stage in the manufacturing process such as the boiling, maceration, extraction, oil pressing, agitation, fermentation, and preservation, and defoaming processing and transfer prior to bottling of liquid food and dairy products, and it targets various products from high-fluidity liquids to high-viscosity liquids, and even to near-solid products such as miso paste. In addition, because it mechanically defoams and degasses and there is no need for the use of food additives such as defoaming agents, such indications on packaging are also unnecessary, which not only contributes to improved productivity and quality, but realizes improved safety and assurance, and reduced cost.
