High-pressure homogenizers for liquid products
In the production of liquid food, pharmaceutical, and chemical products, consistent texture, stability, and shelf life are critical. Achieving these qualities often requires breaking down fat globules and agglomerates into smaller, uniform particles to enhance product quality.
Enhanced particle size reduction and uniformity
The homogenizers from HST Maschinenbau are designed to achieve optimal particle size reduction and uniformity in various liquid products. The high-pressure homogenization method subjects a pressurized product to turbulent and laminar forces in a narrow, ring-shaped gap, breaking up fat globules and distributing them evenly. This technique results in improved stability, color intensity, and flavor, and extends shelf life while reducing the need for stabilizers. HST offers various series of homogenizers with diverse capacities and optional features like aseptic design for sterile products and Atex design for explosive environments. For instance, the Series HL2-HL6 ranges from 300 to 35,000 liters per hour, while the HLI series integrates reduced water consumption and noise insulation. These homogenizers are versatile in applications such as food industry products (e.g., milk, sauces, juices), pharmaceutical emulsions, and chemical emulsions. HST provides specialized valves and pistons that can be tailored to specific product requirements to ensure optimal homogenization results.
