VACUUM PROCESS & DEAERATION ENGINEER – MIXING & LIQUID SYSTEMSLocation: Dubai, United Arab EmiratesEmployment type: Full-timeWorkplace: On-siteIndicative salary: AED 15,000–23,000 per month𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐋𝐘 𝐓𝐄𝐂𝐇𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋 𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐄Candidates should have practical experience with vacuum processing, deaeration, gas removal, vacuum mixing, vacuum vessels or related industrial process systems.This is not a general sales or business development position.We are specifically looking for candidates who understand how pressure, vacuum level, product rheology, temperature and process configuration affect product quality and equipment performance.𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞Palomba General Trading LLC is looking for a Vacuum Process & Deaeration Engineer – Mixing & Liquid Systems to support technically demanding industrial process-equipment projects across the UAE and GCC markets.The role will focus on vacuum-assisted processing technologies used for mixing, deaeration, emulsification, homogenisation, product transfer and the removal of entrained or dissolved gases from industrial formulations.The successful candidate will work with industrial customers, process engineers and international equipment manufacturers to define vacuum-process requirements and support the technical evaluation of suitable equipment and process configurations.Applications may include food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, flavour, ingredient and specialty-process manufacturing.𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬• Analyse customer requirements involving vacuum processing and deaeration.• Evaluate the need to remove entrained air, dissolved gases or foam from products.• Support the technical definition of vacuum levels and process conditions.• Evaluate vacuum requirements for mixing vessels and integrated process systems.• Review the interaction between product viscosity, temperature and vacuum performance.• Support technical selection of vacuum pumps and associated equipment.• Evaluate system evacuation times and vacuum capacity requirements.• Support applications involving vacuum mixing and vacuum homogenisation.• Review process requirements for foaming or air-sensitive formulations.• Evaluate the effect of vacuum on product density, appearance, stability and final quality.• Support deaeration of emulsions, suspensions, syrups, creams and viscous formulations.• Review requirements involving vacuum-assisted powder incorporation.• Support technical discussions regarding condensers, receivers, separators and vacuum lines.• Evaluate potential carry-over of product into vacuum systems.• Support design considerations relating to vessel sealing and vacuum integrity.• Review instrumentation requirements including vacuum transmitters and pressure sensors.• Support integration of vacuum systems with mixers, homogenisers, pumps and process vessels.• Assist in defining operating sequences for vacuum-assisted batch processing.• Support pilot trials and technical evaluation of vacuum-process performance.• Participate in FAT, SAT or commissioning review where applicable.• Support technical troubleshooting involving insufficient vacuum, foaming, gas entrainment or unstable process conditions.𝐕𝐚𝐜𝐮𝐮𝐦 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬Candidates should be comfortable discussing parameters such as:• Absolute pressure• Vacuum level• Evacuation time• Gas load• Pump capacity• Product
