Mixing under vacuum

Mixing under vacuum can blend oil and water into a smooth mixture while drawing out trapped air.

A high-shear mixing head can break up droplets or spread ingredients through the liquid. Stirring and the shape of the tank affect how the mixture moves past the head.

Using a vacuum can reduce trapped air while mixing. Final texture and appearance still depend on the recipe, thickness, temperature and mixing forces.
