Homogenizing principles:
In order to permanently mix one or more substances in a liquid, a homogenizer must be used it possible to micronize and disperse the suspended particles in the fluid, rendering highly se during successive treatments and storage.
The product reaches the homogenizing valve at low speed and at high pressure (the result of the small space between the passage head and the impact head). As it passes, it is subject to various forces that cause the mirconization of the particles: violent acceleration followed by immediate de-celeration causes cavitation with explosion of the globules intense turbulence together with high-frequency vibrations, impact deriving from the laminar passage between the homogenizing valve surfaces and consequent collision with the Impact ring.
Homogenization can occur with the use of a single homogenizing valve (suitable for dispersion treatment), or double valves (recommended for use with emulsions and for viscosity control when requested). To guarantee problem-free, precise functioning, the homogenizing valves are servo assisted from a special hydro pneumatic unit.
Homogenizer
The Buffalo series homogenizers comply with CE/3A regulations and are available with hourly capacity range from 60 to 60,000 LPH. and homogenization pressures up to 600 bars.
- We offer Standard/Abrasive/Aseptic (UHT Plant) version.
- Fixed/variable flow rate.
- The homogenizer can be operated through the machine control board (Manual mode) or via the plant PLC–SCADA system (Automatic mode).
- Digital pressure transducer with automatic disconnection of homogenization pressure.
Plunger/ volumetric pumps
These pumps are used for the volumetric pumping of products containing pieces, such as concentrated milk, diced, tomato paste, fruit pulp, coffee concentrate, egg york, soups, yogurt, jams, etc., even in the presence of high counter pressures.
Laboratory Homogenizers
FBF Italia’s laboratory homogenizer is equipped with two pumping pistons. This feature allows the homogenizing heads to work with greater stability on the sample product to be tested, obtaining much more reliable results compared to those obtained with single-piston machines. Homolab, available in two versions
- Homolab 2.0:
It’s a laboratory homogenizer suitable to test almost 20 l/h of product, reaching homogenizing pressure up to 1800 bar. - Homolab 2.50:
It’s a laboratory homogenizer suitable to test almost 50 l/h of product, reaching homogenizing pressure up to 600 bar.
