GEA Niro Soavi has introduced the first Ultra High Pressure Homogenizer in pilot / prototype scale able to reach a maximum pressure of 4000 bar.
The unique characteristic of this technology is the dynamic application of Ultra High Pressure, on a continuous fluid flow, which is different from other high pressure applications available on the market (e.g. high pressure hydraulic presses, for static pressure application); this characteristic is in line with the homogenization technology, as homogenizers are designed to process under high pressure and continuous flow conditions.
The Dynamic Ultra High Pressure offers an effective method for
cell rupture bringing yields factors up to 100% in single pass.
The Dynamic Ultra High Pressure Homogenizer allows particle size reduction below 100 nanometers in single pass processing for nanoemulsions, nanosuspensions, liposomes, and microencapsulation applications.
Dynamic Ultra High Pressure Homogenization is the innovative solution to approach new market opportunities with the development of high technology and effective industrial processes contributing to launch new products on the consumer market.
The Ultra High Pressure Homogenizer features new materials, special sealing systems, and unique compression block concepts and designs. Homogenizing valve design and sizing is optimised for continuous flow conditions, extreme reliability and wear resistance.
GEA Niro Soavi Dynamic Ultra High Pressure technology is covered by international patents.
