Homogenizers

Equipment required for the homogenizer includes all the components that can grind liquid particles, which results in a homogeneous and stable emulsion of the product. High pressure industrial and laboratory homogenizers are direct piston pumps equipped with a pressing unit and a homogenizing valve, which can be used in various industries to improve quality  characteristics and stability of products.

 

Homogenizers theory

 

Homogenization process is used to improve product performance, increase cost and/or reduce costs. It is a physical process that mixes immiscible liquids into an emulsion. Homogenizer is basically a positive displacement piston pump to which a homogenizing valve is attached. Fluids entering the homogenizer pass through a small gap under high pressure. This causes a rapid increase in speed and a decrease in pressure, creating turbulence and pressure drops that cause particles to break up and scatter.

 

What should a homogenizer be used for? Homogenizers are widely used in dairy, food, healthcare, cosmetic, chemical, biotechnological and pharmaceutical industries. They can provide significant added value to the product, improved product quality and competitive advantage. Systems can be designed and configured to offer specific product characteristics, including:

 

Significantly improved palatability traits
