<p>The present invention is a vacuum fill system (10) for deaerating flowable materials (56) for storage in a container (60). The vacuum fill system (10) in general has a hollow, cylindrical container (20) connected to a plurality of valves (48, 50), slide gate valves (32, 36) and a vacuum pump in order to create a vacuum when filled with flowable materials (56) that causes the flowable materials (56) to deaerate and subsequently compact when atmospheric pressure is restored.</p> |
