High pressure homogenization for polymer nanodispersions

Managing the production of materials like latex and polymers often involves dealing with solutions that have high fiber content or solid components. Traditional methods can struggle with accumulation and clogging, leading to inefficiencies and production downtime.

Ensure free flow in high fiber applications

The OpenXFLO® from GEA is an advanced compression head designed for high pressure homogenization, ideal for challenging applications including polymer nanodispersions, slurries, and products with high fibers or solid parts. This patented technology allows for a free passage of product within the pumping chambers, effectively preventing accumulations and clogging. The valve configuration without springs ensures that the solids within the solution do not accumulate, maintaining optimal performance. The typical pressure rating of OpenXFLO® is up to 150 bar, with special configurations available for pressures up to 700 bar, suitable for industrial scale operations. This robustness in design translates to reliable and efficient homogenization processes, ensuring the stability and longevity of various processed products.
