Laboratory homogenizer for viscous products
In the processing of pasty or semi-pasty products like fresh cheese, mustard, or personal care items, achieving uniform texture and fineness can be challenging. This process requires precise control of mechanical actions to ensure consistency and stability without high pressure requirements.
Customized homogenization with low pressure
The alm® laboratory homogenizers HP, developed by Pierre Guerin, are specialized for homogenizing viscous products. These homogenizers feature a patented 10-stage ultrasonic homogenization head, through which the product is propelled at high speed. As the product passes through the 10 consecutive tetrahedral cells, it undergoes cavitation, turbulence, and lamination, emulating an ultrasound source with frequencies between 60,000 to 100,000 impulses per second. This process reduces the need for high pressure, yielding a product with enhanced texture and fineness. The specific cylinder block design is tailored for viscous materials but can be interchanged with the HL model for liquid products. Constructed with hard chromium-plated stainless steel pistons, the homogenizer is suitable for abrasive products. Additionally, it features low electrical consumption and a hygienic design that is cleanable in-place.
