Highest Homogenization Pressure

Aug 02, 2019

In general, the higher the homogenization pressure, the better. First, the higher the homogenization pressure, the smaller the uniformity of the particle size after homogenization. This makes the equipment more efficient and achieves the desired results with fewer cycles; second, the higher the homogenization pressure, the more types of materials that can be processed. For example, some liquid emulsions can be homogenized to below 100 nm at only 20,000 psi, while certain suspensions containing higher density solid particles can be processed to nanoscale at a pressure of at least 26,000 psi.


But at the same time, it should be noted that the higher the homogenization pressure, the higher the heat generation, and the high temperature will affect the homogenization effect of the material. Therefore, in general, without cooling measures, 30,000 psi is the highest pressure for ultra-high pressure homogenization. Due to the high temperature generated by the ultra-high pressure homogenizer, the homogenization effect of more than 30,000 psi has not increased with the pressure, and the temperature-controlled ultra-high pressure diamond interaction cavity has been developed to reduce the problem of large particle content and emulsion stability caused by high temperature.
