Bottom Entry Homogenizer

WORKING

This is useful for mixing suspensions and emulsions etc. The homogenizing head consists of stator & rotor arrangement made out of stainless steel 316 Quality. The stator is supported on the motor by means of stainless-steel supporting rods and the rotor is driven directly by the motor.


BOTTOM MIXERS

Usually called "high-shear mixers", are the most common form of Dispersing/Homogenizing/ Emulsifying mixer. By placing a form of closely-fitting shroud around a high-speed impeller, it is possible to create a shearing action between the blades and stator shroud. As material is centrifugally pumped through the mixing head, some of it will see this high shear zone and experience shear stressing that results in dispersive mixing. Where small or uniform dispersions are required, material must be cycled through the head many times to ensure statistically that all of the material has passed through the high shear zone at leaston.


EMULSIFYING

To creat a stable emulsion by obtaining the finest possible droplet size, more the shear energy introduced into the mixing, the smaller the suspended droplets would be, creating a fine stable emulsion.

The high shear rotor/stator design is ideally suited to this application and can easily achieve emulsions with a droplet size of 2 to 5 microns. Finer emulsions down to 0.5 microns can be obtained, depending on the formulation. In many cases, this can eliminate the need for high pressure homogenizers. Where a high-pressure homogenizer must be used, premixing the emulsion with a Bottom Homogenizer prior to the high-pressure homogenizer will allow the product to pass through at a much higher rate, since homogenizers work more efficiently when fed with a premix of the emulsion with uniform and fine droplet size.


POWDER/LIQUID-MIXING

Dispersing powders into liquids and creating a consistent, homogeneous product, time after time, is one of the most difficult mixing tasks. Homogenizers have a range of products designed to provide the most efficient means of incorporating powders into liquids, the selection of which depends on factors such as the batch size, the type of ingredients and the viscosity of the end product.

A closed rotor-stator homogenizer can rapidly incorporate high percentages of powders and can handle relatively high viscosity mixes. It is particularly suitable for incorporating difficult powders with a tendency to float. For bulk powder dispersion, different homogenizers offer a unique powder and liquid mixing system.


PARTICLE SIZE REDUCTION

The high shear Homogenizer rotor/stator can achieve rapid and uniform milling of both solid and semisolid materials to a low micron size in a single operation. The degree of particle size reduction will depend on the hardness of the product.

Where conventional milling equipment is required, pre-milling the product with Homogenizer will create a uniform premix that will pass through the conventional mill at a much faster rate, because media mills work best when fed with a product of a consistent and low particle size. For particle size reduction many equipments offer a range of single and multistage in-lines and the Multishear Homogenizer. To reduce the size of the products, high pressure homogenizers are used in Bio Pharma Industry.
