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.
