Industrial homogenizers for liquid processing

Achieve consistent product quality and energy efficiency in liquid processing with these advanced high-pressure homogenizers, ideal for improving viscosity, texture, and stability across a wide range of products, from dairy emulsions to pharmaceutical creams.

Homogenizes and Stabilizes Liquid Products

The HST HL Series Homogenizers from HST Krones are cutting-edge high-pressure machines designed to enhance the quality of liquid products by ensuring uniform texture and stability across a wide range of applications. These homogenizers are critical for processing dairy, food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products, offering a solution to prevent separation and improve viscosity and taste.

Using robust multi-stage homogenizing valves, they ensure efficient blending at pressures between 100 to 1,500 bar, with throughput capabilities ranging from 10 to 60,000 liters per hour. The HST HL series integrates seamlessly with existing production lines and offers energy-saving operations with its advanced variable-speed motor controls.

Constructed from high-grade materials including stainless steel and ceramics, these units are engineered for durability and resistance to corrosion, accommodating highly demanding production environments. With options for aseptic processing, the HST HL Series supports compliance with stringent industry standards, such as GMP, making them suitable for both sterile and non-sterile environments.

Additionally, these homogenizers feature CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems to facilitate straightforward and efficient cleaning, reducing downtime and maintaining operational hygiene. Customization in valve and piston materials supports tailored applications, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance across varied product formulations.
