Homogenizing
Homogenization
requires
the ingredients
to be processed
until of
a uniform
globule
or particle
size.
For most
products,
including
creams,
ointments,
sauces,
flavoring
emulsions
and pharmaceutical
suspensions,
this requires
a globule
or droplet
size in
the range
of 2 –
5 microns.
This can
be achieved
using a
Mega
Mixer Homogenizer.
The precision
machined
Mega
workhead
generates
exceptionally
high shear
rates in
a three
stage mixing/homogenizing
process;
The high
speed rotor
draws materials
into the
workhead
where they
are intensely
mixed.
Centrifugal
force then
drives the
materials
to the periphery
of the workhead
and subjects
them to
mechanical
shear in
the precision
gap between
the rotor
and stator.
This is
followed
by intense
hydraulic
shear, as
the product
is forced
through
the stator
screen at
high velocity
and circulated
back into
the mix.
Fresh material
is continually
drawn into
the workhead,
progressively
reducing
globule
or particle
size and
quickly
resulting
in a homogeneous,
uniform
product. |
