Inline High Shear Dispersion Homogenizer
The homogenizer is an essential device for mixing one or more substances into a liquid, often used for micronization and dispersing particles suspended within fluids. This process ensures the production of highly stable products that can endure a wide range of treatments and storage conditions. The homogenizer is ideal for applications requiring precise control and consistency in high-shear processes, such as emulsifying immiscible phases, homogenizing, wet grinding, texturing, deagglomeration, and fine dispersing.
How It Works:
1. **Product Entry**: The product enters the homogenizer at a low speed but under high pressure due to the small gap between the passing head and collision head.
2. **Forces Acting on Product**: As the product moves through the system, it is subjected to multiple forces that micronize particles. These include:
- Violent acceleration followed by sudden deceleration, producing cavitation and globule explosion.
- Strong turbulence and high-frequency vibrations.
- Collision cutting strengths from the laminar passage between the homogenizing valve surfaces and the impact with the collision ring.
3. **Resulting Micronization**: These combined forces break down the particles into microscopic sizes, leading to a stable and homogenous product.
Emulsifier Technology:
The homogenizer's emulsifier feature incorporates up to single sets of toothed rotor-stator heads, designed to extremely fine radial tolerances. Products are processed at high differential velocities, up to 18 times in a single pass, resulting in consistently high-quality output. This technology surpasses the capabilities of conventional multi-pass devices such as in-tank high-shear mixers, colloid mills, and shear pumps, offering superior efficiency and repeatability.
In summary, the homogenizer provides unmatched precision and control in particle micronization and emulsification, making it an indispensable tool for producing high-stability liquid-based products.
