HOMOGENIZATION AND HIGH PRESSURE PUMPS
The homogenization process forces fluid at high pressure through a specialized valve, generating turbulence, cavitation, and shear forces that reduce fat globules to sizes below 1 μm. This prevents gravity-driven phase separation, ensuring uniform texture, extended shelf life, and improved appearance in the final product.
The lowest RPM operation on the market with a 10-year guarantee on the compression block.
Advanced engineering with a forged steel monoblock (no casting risks) and reversible Z-type valves that double the service life of wear components. Its low-RPM design minimizes vibration and noise, delivering maximum operational reliability and energy efficiency (IE3 motors) for critical processes.
Monoblock structure with air cooling: zero water consumption and maximum energy efficiency.
Ergonomically designed equipment for stabilizing emulsions and preventing sedimentation in dairy products and beverages. Featuring an air-cooled lubrication system that eliminates water use, long-life ceramic pistons, and low-revolution transmission for extended service life.
Efficient transfer of high-viscosity fluids.
Robust solution for transporting viscous fluids (pastes, concentrates) at pressures up to 600 bar. Its piston design eliminates cavitation in dense product suction, ideal for feeding spray dryers or membrane filtration systems.
Scale your formulations with guaranteed precision from pilot testing to industrial production.
Compact and mobile units capable of operating up to 2,000 bar. They faithfully replicate the mechanical stress conditions of industrial equipment, allowing process parameters to be validated and structural stability of new products improved before launch.
What is Homogenization and how does it work?
Homogenization is a fluid dynamics process that standardizes and stabilizes dispersions and emulsions. The fluid is forced at high pressure through a narrow gap (homogenization valve). As it crosses this restriction, fluid velocity increases dramatically while pressure drops, generating intense turbulence, cavitation, and shear forces. This mechanical stress breaks up globules, reducing them to micrometric sizes (generally <1 μm), exponentially increasing surface area and preventing gravity-driven phase separation (Stokes' Law).

Difference between Homogenizer and High Pressure Pump:
Although both use a piston compression block to generate hydraulic pressure, their function differs at discharge. The high-pressure pump is designed to transport fluid or feed other equipment (e.g., atomization nozzles) while maintaining pressure. The homogenizer uses that pressure to force fluid through an adjustable valve specifically designed to dissipate that energy as particle disruption.
