Homogenizer is mainly used for tissue dispersion in biotechnology, sample preparation in pharmaceuticals, enzyme treatment in the food industry, and detection of pesticide residues and veterinary drug residues in food, as well as in the pharmaceutical industry, cosmetics industry, paint industry, and petrochemicals. The homogenizer adopts a stainless-steel system, which can effectively separate the surface of the sample guard and the contained microbial homogeneous sample. The sample is contained in a disposable sterile homogenization bag, which does not come into contact with the instrument, meeting the requirements of fast, accurate results and good reproducibility. It can be widely applied to emulsification, homogenization, and dispersion for industrial production.

Homogenizer is a kind of equipment used for homogenizing and emulsifying liquid materials (liquid-liquid phase or liquid-solid phase) with a viscosity lower than 0.2Pa.s and temperature lower than 100℃. It is mainly used in the food or chemical industry, such as dairy products, beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other products in the production process of homogenization, and emulsification process.

Application of homogenizer in food processing: homogenizer in food processing refers to the material liquid in the extrusion, strong impact, and loss of pressure expansion under the triple action of the material refinement, so that the material can be more uniformly mixed with each other, such as the use of homogenizer in the processing of dairy products to make the fat in the milk broken finer so that the whole product system more stable. The milk will look whiter. Homogenization is mainly carried out by homogenizers. It is an important processing equipment for the food, dairy, and beverage industries.

Homogenizer’s working principle is rotor and stator precision fit, working head (rotor and stator forging manufacturing) claw structure, two-way suction material, and high shear efficiency. Intermittent high shear dispersion emulsification homogenizer is through the rotor high-speed smooth rotation, the formation of high frequency, strong circumferential tangential speed, angular velocity, and other integrated kinetic energy and effectiveness. Under the action of the stator, the stator and rotor reasonably narrow the gap in the formation of strong, reciprocating hydraulic shear, friction, centrifugal extrusion, liquid flow collision, and other comprehensive effects, the material in the container cycle reciprocating the above work process, and finally obtain the product.

a. Stable operation, low noise, easy cleaning, flexible, continuous use, ultra-fine dispersion, and emulsification of materials. Can be widely used in the industrial production of emulsification, homogenization, and dispersion.

b. The material is finely mixed under the triple action of extrusion, strong impact, and loss of pressure expansion. This equipment is an important equipment for food, dairy, beverage, and other industries.

c. For milk, soybean milk, and other dairy beverages, homogenization under high pressure can make the fat globules in the dairy liquid significantly finer so that the products can be easily digested and absorbed after consumption, and improve the value of use.

d. Used in the production of ice cream and other products, it can improve the fineness and looseness of the material, so that its inner texture is significantly improved.

e. It is used in the production of emulsions, gums, juices, slurries, etc. It can play a role in preventing or reducing the stratification of the liquid, improving the appearance of the liquid, making its color more vivid, an aroma more intense, and a taste more mellow.

a. Adopt the plunger horizontal movement structure, compared with the plunger’s vertical (up and down) movement of the experimental machine, the plunger can spray cooling water at its plunger, thus extending the life of the plunger seal.

b. Material leakage will not enter the oil tank, and will not pollute the external working environment.

c. The lubricating oil of the transmission box part can make the connecting rod and crosshead get effective lubrication, so there is no more trouble of adding grease before each start of the traditional type of equipment.

d. The overall shape of the cube-type, stainless steel cover, is beautiful and easy to operate.

e. Only 1 liter of material is needed to work to be able to do the experiment.

a. The homogenizer is equipped with an electrical control cabinet, which receives signals from the previous process and controls the operation of the homogenizer and the rise and fall of the homogenizer pressure. It can be controlled remotely.

b. There is a cooling water protection device. When the cooling water pipe is cut off, the equipment will stop immediately to play a protective role.

c. Pre-set the pressure required for the first and second homogenization, and automatically rise to the good pressure of the equipment after starting the equipment.

d. There is an emergency stop button on the electric control cabinet, which can be used to stop the machine manually in case of emergency.

e. It is safe to avoid operator mishandling and largely improves the usage rate of the equipment.

Ultrasonic homogenizer is a kind of laboratory equipment for cell lysis of samples. It uses strong ultrasound to produce a cavitation effect in liquids for the crushing of animal and plant tissues, cells, bacteria, and bacteriophages, and can also be used for emulsification, separation, dispersion, homogenization, degassing, cleaning, and accelerating chemical reactions, etc.

Ultrasonic homogenizer mainly consists of a driving power supply, bracket, reactor, ultrasonic transducer, transmitter head, variable amplitude rod, etc. It is used in pharmaceutical, biological, nano, chemical, dye, optical, jewelry, aerospace, hardware, automotive manufacturing, and other fields for laboratory sample pre-treatment.

The working principle of ultrasonic homogenizer is to use the cavitation effect of ultrasonic waves in the liquid and other physical effects to achieve the homogenization effect. Among them, cavitation refers to the action of ultrasound, the liquid in the weak intensity of the cavity that is small bubbles, small bubbles with ultrasound pulsation, in a sound cycle, the cavity will collapse. Ultrasonic cavitation will also produce a strong mechanical effect, in the solid interface near the rapid jet or acoustic impulse, in the liquid to produce a powerful shock wave. The physical effect refers to the ultrasonic waves that can form effective churning and flow in the liquid to destroy the structure of the medium, crushing the particles in the liquid, mainly inter-liquid collisions, micro-phase flow, and shock waves lead to changes in particle surface morphology.

a. Check all solid parts and piping for reliability. Fill the clean mechanical oil level line to the power box. In general, HJ40 mechanical oil is used, and HJ50 mechanical oil should be used for work in high-temperature places. Check the pulley steering (face the big pulley counterclockwise rotation), the reverse rotation is strictly prohibited during the work. Turn the adjusting handle to the relaxed position. Turn on the cooling water.

b. When starting, it should be gradually adjusted to the required pressure to avoid sudden pressure changes causing shocks. To ensure product quality the material liquid coming out of the starting stage should be returned to the material cylinder and sent out when the pressure is stable. If the pressure gauge jumps violently or the pressure does not go up, the screw of the air release device should be loosened until no bubble overflows and the screw is tightened. The user of material liquid should be filtered through the strainer in advance to avoid the debris of material liquid blocking the pipeline or jamming the valve, which will affect the normal work of the machine.

c. When stopping the machine, the homogeneous regulating handle should be rotated loosely to remove the pressure, and the valve on the feed pipe should be closed when the machine stops. The machine stops use, the pump body should be cleaned internally, cleaned with 1% caustic soda water solution, and replaced with 80-90 ℃ clean hot water cycle for 5-10 minutes, the same cleaning and disinfection treatment should be carried out before each use.
