Membrane emulsifying system for double emulsions

Achieve precise control over emulsion droplet sizes and distributions, ensuring optimal product stability and performance in your formulations with this advanced inline membrane emulsification technology.

Produces High-Concentration Emulsions from Liquid Phases

The MEGATRON® MT-MM from Kinematica AG offers a sophisticated emulsification solution for industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food. This inline process machine employs a membrane emulsification technique, reducing mechanical and thermal stress during production. It’s adept at creating high-concentration and monodisperse emulsions, ideal for applications from liposomal drug delivery systems to vitamin-enriched beverage emulsions.

Operating with a maximum throughput of 5 to 40 liters per hour, the system uses minimal energy and is equipped with a high-frequency motor that supports precise speed control through a frequency inverter. The working chamber, made of electro-polished SS 316L with a heating/cooling jacket, features a unique double mechanical seal design that ensures robust performance.

For seamless integration, the machine operates continuously and supports inline processing, ideal for high-speed operations. With its membrane module designed for narrow droplet size distribution, it offers controllability over droplet size and distribution—a key for achieving desired product specifications in the production line.

The MEGATRON® MT-MM’s materials and design cater to rigorous industrial standards, featuring compatibility with various product types, including liquid and gas phases. Maintenance and operation are streamlined through an integrated touch screen panel for plant control, ensuring ease of use and adaptability to specific production needs. Overall, this emulsifier stands as a versatile, efficient choice for producing intricate emulsion formulations.
