Homogenizer for high-pressure homogenization
In various industries, achieving uniform particle distribution in liquid mixtures is critical for product stability, consistency, and longevity. High-pressure homogenization is adopted to break down fat globules or agglomerates efficiently, enhancing these attributes in applications such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
Uniformly distributes particles in liquid mixtures
The HST homogenizers from HST Maschinenbau are designed to subject pressurized products to turbulent and laminar forces in a narrow ring-shaped gap. This physical energy input effectively breaks up fat globules or agglomerates into uniformly distributed particles, contributing to stability, color intensity, flavor, consistency, and extended shelf life, while reducing the need for stabilizers. These homogenizers are available in various models, including laboratory and pilot plant machines like the HST HLL0 and HST HL1, and production machinery series HL2-HL6, HLI 55-90/HLI8, and HLE 3-75. They offer capacities ranging from 300 liters per hour up to 80,000 liters per hour with power levels from 3kW to 400kW. Options for aseptic and Atex designs, as well as noise insulation cladding, are available. Notably, the HLI series integrates features for reduced water consumption, making it a more sustainable choice. The homogenizing valves and piston versions can be customized based on the product properties to ensure maximum efficiency and lifespan. Additionally, the aseptic design uses superheated steam, condensate, or sterile water as a barrier, preventing product recontamination.
