Emulsions homogenization Equipment

Homogenization is the process of reducing particle size in mixtures to improve the consistency, uniformity, and stability of the product. The choice of a homogenizer depends on the nature of the product, desired particle size, the physical state of the ingredients, and pressure requirements during the process. Homogenization is widely used in the biotech industry for cell lysis and in the pharmaceutical industry for the emulsification of creams and ointments; it also finds applications in the cosmetics and food industries for improving the consistency and uniformity of various products.

Homogenization

You can make emulsions by combining two immiscible liquids (oil and water, for example) in a suspension through the use of force. The use of emulsifiers is necessary to keep this mixture stable and permanent.

Emulsions

Certain mixing tasks present unique challenges and manufacturers need equipment that is specifically designed to handle them.  When a single pass process is needed, high solid concentrations are involved, the ingredients quickly react with one-another, the product is sensitive to air inclusions, or the solid is granular and needs to be mechanically crushed as well as mixed, the right equipment is needed to get the job done.
<h2>A single pass mixer, disperser, and homogenizer for difficult mixing tasks</h2>
IKA's MHD-2000 system is a continuous homogenizing system designed for the high quality dispersions of solids in liquids.  The system includes two horizontal liquid connections and one vertical connection for solids.  the liquids and solid components of the mixture are brought together in a controlled fashion in a pre-mixing chamber in which the liquid is evenly distributed by entering through several different apertures.  Immediately after mixing, the liquid and solid components are dispersed through a rotor/stator system with high shearing action creating a high quality, output product that is free of agglomerations.

Use of this system greatly reduces production times due to its continuous operation.  Its design allows it to process highly viscous liquid ingredients, mixtures with solid contents up to 80%, and even solids that are granular and must be mechanically crushed during the mixing process.  Units are available with throughput volumes from 60 and 40.000 liters per hour.

Continuous homogenizing system

When extremely high accuracy is required in your recipe or formulation traditional mixing machines often give unsatisfactory results.  For precisely controlled, quantitative mixes of liquid and solid ingredients you need a machine with better control designed to create a ready-to-use product that meets your exact requirements every time.
<h2>Create precise, quantitative mixes and fine suspensions in a single pass</h2>
The Dispax-Reactor from IKA is a purpose-built high accuracy homogenizing system for the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and other industries.  It achieves extremely accurate mixes and suspensions by dosing both the liquid and the solid phase into the mixing chamber unlike traditional mixers which typically only dose the solid.  In this way the exact quantities of the raw materials in the final product are known regardless of variations in the physical characteristics of inputs.  The units include three distinct dispersing stages which allow for the creation of extremely fine suspensions from a wide range of solid raw materials.  Different rotor/stator dispersing heads are available allowing the machine to be optimized to your particular process.  Capacities are available from 500 to 35.000 liters per hour.

The system includes interchangeable dispersing tools and adjustable speed control, dispersing quality and options for a heated or cooled double-walled vessel, and vacuum degassing of the working chamber, among others.  The unit is easy to clean using a CIP system, and maintenance and inspection is simplified by concentrating major components in easily accessible areas.  This design also helps keep the required floor space of the units as low as possible. The SPP is available in working capacities from 25 to 4.000 liters.

Cost-effective homogenizing and emulsifying system

Producers in a wide variety of industries benefit from equipment that can continuously create highly accurate homogeneous mixtures of liquid and solid ingredients.  The use of a continuous process requires less floor space for storage and greatly reduces production times.  Closed systems eliminate the creation of dust thereby enhancing safety and efficiency.  Equipment that offers all these characteristics will give its users an edge over the competition.
<h2>Continuous dispersion of solids into liquids without the generation of dust</h2>

In-line laboratory dispersing machine

Processes including homogenization, dispersing, suspension, emulsification and dissolving benefit with the addition of a dispersing rotor/stator system to the functionality of traditional overhead stirring equipment.  With traditional equipment, achieving desired results in high viscosity media is often difficult and slow and issues such as sediment formation and air inclusions are common.  Adding a high speed rotor and jet pipe in close proximity to the mixing vane greatly enhances the process and helps avoid many of these issues.
<h2>Fast and efficient agitation of highly viscous fluids</h2>
IKA's Rototron RTS is a line of agitators that uses jet-flow technology to speed mixing processes while avoiding many of the issues seen when more traditional equipment is used.  The jet flow agitators use a high speed rotor and jet pipe in close proximity to the mixing vanes to disperse and circulate products within a vessel while avoiding inefficiency caused by back flow, air inclusions caused by a static whirlpool effect, and the need for flow breakers caused by continuously rotating mixtures.  The circulation mechanism also avoids the common issue of sediment formation when being used to produce emulsions.  The units can be used with open and pressurized vessels and mounting options exist to accommodate a wide variety of vessels and configurations.  With this equipment, no seal material makes contact with the product and food or pharmaceutical grade versions are readily available.  Motor sizes are available from 2,2 to 15 kW with max batch sizes from 1.000 to 20.000 liters.
