Types of High Pressure Homogenizers: An Overview

Image
How are High Pressure Homogenizers are classified?   The Classification of High Pressure Homogenizers. High pressure homogenizers can be categorized based on various perspectives, including the power source, pressurization principle, and the design and structure of interaction chambers.   High pressure homogenizers: Classification   1.  b y energy source   Electric   Electric homogenizers are powered by an electric motor. This category of homogenizer can be further subdivided into two types: direct-drive and intensifier.     Electric high pressure homogenizer with intensifier Direct-drive type:  The motor drives the crankshaft to move the plunger back and forth, directly pressurizing the material. Multiple plungers in the crankshaft work together to produce constant pressure and a high flow rate; large quantities of materials are required to produce the constant pressure. To drive the crankshaft, the motor requires a multi-stage gear reductio...

How does NanoGenizer High-Pressure Homogenizer work?

  The NanoGenizer Core Processing Unit   The NanoGenizer is a laboratory scale high-pressure homogenizer. There are two segments of the NanoGenizer, the power unit and the core processing unit. The core processing unit is where homogenization occurs. Before homogenization, the user places the sample in the inlet reservoir. Genizer offers a variety of options for your inlet reservoir. You may prefer a smaller or larger inlet reservoir depending upon the size of your sample. In addition to stainless steel, we offer plastic syringes and glass inlet reservoirs. Genizer also offers a variety of outlet reservoirs, where the sample goes after processing. You may prefer to use a jacketed glass cylinder, which you can connect to a laboratory chiller circulator for temperature control. Schematic of the NanoGenizer core processing unit,with the inlet reservoir, high-pressure pump, interaction chamber, heat exchanger and outlet reservoirFor small, valuable samples, the syringe option is b...
