Pilot plant homogenizer for immiscible liquids
Combining immiscible liquids like oil and water in small-scale production requires precise testing to validate breakthroughs. Full-production homogenizers are not efficient or cost-effective for initial testing phases.
Perform pump, single or two-stage homogenization
The APV Pilot 4T Homogenizer by SPX Flow offers full production capability in a compact, versatile unit designed for pilot or small-scale production. It supports a variety of flow rates from 20 to 600 liters per hour (5 to 158.5 gallons per hour) through its three models. A three-plunger design ensures smooth operation, and the integrated variable speed drive adds control capabilities. Built using high-grade duplex stainless steel and high-efficiency tungsten carbide, Stellite, or ceramic homogenizing valves, the Pilot 4T meets 3A construction standards and uses FDA-compliant materials, making it suitable for CIP and SIP processes. Control options include manual and touchscreen PLC interfaces compatible with plant control systems for remote operation. This makes the Pilot 4T a practical option for industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology, where precise homogenization is crucial.
