Emulsion processing system for homogenizing solids into liquids
Achieve precision in emulsifying and homogenizing processes with a system designed to integrate solids seamlessly into liquids, enhancing product quality while maintaining storage stability.
Homogenizes and Emulsifies Industrial-Scale Products
The Hydro Grind® Processing system from AK System GmbH is designed to finely homogenize and emulsify solids into liquids, serving industries like food, cosmetics, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. The equipment integrates a patented homogenizing unit capable of efficiently creating fine droplet emulsions and suspensions through a high-pressure homogenization process. With the ability to perform multiple processing steps—homogenization, emulsification, mixing, dosing, size reduction, and deaeration—in a single unit, it supports continuous operation at an industrial scale.
Applications include producing mayonnaise, salad dressings, skin creams, lotions, shampoos, and pharmaceutical creams, among others. Its dynamic shear force adjustment allows for the flexible handling of shear-sensitive materials while maintaining high product quality. The system includes a direct solids dosing feature at the dispersing turbine, ensuring even dispersion and preventing lump formation.
The Hydro Grind® is constructed for efficiency and hygiene, offering a cost-effective alternative by reducing the need for system changes. It is compatible with various materials, meeting industrial standards for quality and performance assurance, and supports CIP systems for easy cleaning.
