Homogenization technology is based on the use of pressure on liquids to
subdivide particles or droplets present in fluids into the very smallest sizes
(submicron) and create a stable dispersion ideal for further processing.
The passage of the product at very high pressure through a specially
designed valve with an adjustable gap, called the homogenizing valve, is able
to microsize dispersed particles down to the order of magnitude of micrometers
and nanometers.
GEA Niro Soavi homogenizing valves are unique in carrying
out the required degree of micronization (microsizing) and dispersion at the
lowest possible pressure according to the application.
A range of
valves is available to meet different process requirements in a wide range of pressures and flow
rates depending on varying properties of the handled fluids.
