Laboratory scale High-pressure homogenizers are ideal for use in laboratories for research and development purposes, when product formulation and process simulation are the basic innovation tools for industrial competition.
GEA Niro Soavi laboratory machines are free-standing units, able to perform homogenization trials at various pressure ranges with limited sample volume.
Whatever is needed is already assembled on board on each unit, including a feeding pump when required.
All GEA Niro Soavi laboratory machines are equipped with two stage homogenizing valves as standard, to optimize the use and balance of the pressure energy and allow comparison of different types of homogenizing valves for the most efficient micronization or rupture effect at the lowest possible pressure.
The “Panda 2K” is an easy-to-use, small table-top single plunger unit, with low hold-up volume. It is able to reach up to 1500 bar with handwheel operated homogenizing valves available in different configurations for flexible homogenization testing on low and high viscosity products.
The “TwinPanda”, a two-plunger table-top unit, is the ideal research equipment for food & dairy applications, and can be easily integrated into a pilot plant for full process simulation in aseptic conditions as well.
For larger scale laboratory testing the NS3006L “Panther” is a three-plunger design homogenizer used to accurately replicate an industrial process on laboratory scale. These units can be rated for 1000 or 1500 bar maximum pressure, and are supplied with integrated feeding pumps and electrical power boards for easy “plug&play” installation.
A comprehensive list of options allows a custom engineered configuration of each unit for any laboratory testing and process simulation needs.
GEA Niro Soavi is able to design, manufacture and supply the complete range from laboratory to industrial size homogenizers for any pressure between 100 to 1500 bar, therefore laboratory machines perform in exactly the same way as larger machines, allowing easy scale-up to full production.
