Homogenizers
are important research lab equipment used for reducing materials into
uniform sized particles through cutting, blending and maceration. These
high-speed, high-shear batch mixers make use of a wide range of materials
and work best with high-moisture, high-fat, or fibrous products.
Types of Homogenizers
- Rotor Stator Generators : These are the most widely used
homogenizers because of their large shearing capacity
- Piston Pump Driven Models : These homogenizers force a sample
material through small tubes with the help of a piston pump action. This
type is mostly used for homogenization of milk.
- Sonic Disruptors : These are some of the most technologically
sophisticated homogenizers.
Use of Homogenizers
Homogenizers find use in various industries and applications including:
Food processing industry (milk products, baby food, fruit and juices).
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
- Bioresearch
- Laboratory Testing
- Industrial Processing
- Textile Production
