Laboratory homogenizer for viscous products
Achieve ultra-fine textures and improved consistency in pasty and semi-pasty products with low-pressure ultrasonic homogenization, enhancing your production quality while reducing maintenance and energy costs.
Homogenizes Viscous and Pasty Products Efficiently
The alm® laboratory homogenizers HP from Equans – Pierre Guerin are engineered for precise low-pressure homogenization of viscous and pasty substances. Utilizing a patented 10-stage ultrasonic homogenization head, the HP model subjects products to mechanical actions of cavitation, turbulence, and lamination through tetrahedral cells, enabling improved texture without high pressure. Ideal for dairy, personal care, and food applications, this equipment excels in processing items such as cream cheese, baby formula, and facial creams. Operating efficiently under low pressure, the homogenizer reduces energy consumption and maintains a low acoustic level under 80 dB. Enabling seamless integration into laboratory settings, it features robust construction with hard chromium-plated stainless steel pistons that are suitable for handling abrasive products. Its hygienic design supports in-place cleaning, minimizing downtime and ensuring compliance with stringent sanitary standards. Designed for customization, the alm® HP series offers interchangeable cylinder blocks to adapt to varying product viscosities, catering to both current production needs and future scalability.
