- A tank with both an In-Tank Homogenizer and an Inline Homogenizer is a versatile processing system commonly used in various industries for mixing, blending, and homogenizing different liquid or semi-liquid products.
- The primary function of In-Tank Homogenizer and mix the product directly within the processing tank. Breaks down particles, ensuring a uniform and consistent texture in the product.
- After the initial In-Tank homogenization, the Inline Homogenizer provides a secondary homogenization step in the process line continues to reduce particle size, and ensures a finer and more consistent product. Further refines emulsions and dispersions, resulting in a stable and uniform product.
- The combination of In-Tank and Inline homogenization enhances the overall efficiency of the homogenization process. Allows for a broader range of product processing, accommodating various viscosities and formulations.
- Ensures product consistency by addressing homogenization at different stages of the production process.
- The combination of In-Tank Homogenizer and Inline Homogenizer results in a more consistent and higher quality end product with reduced variations in particle size and distribution.
COMPONENTS AND FEATURES:
-
In-Tank Homogenizer:
Rotor-Stator Assembly: Utilizes high-speed rotation of a rotor within a stationary stator to create shear forces for homogenization. Allows adjustment of homogenizer speed based on the characteristics of the product.
-
Tank:
Typically made of stainless steel or other materials suitable for the product. Variable tank volumes based on application and production needs.
-
Temperature Control:
Heating/Cooling System: Enables temperature control within the tank, critical for processes requiring specific temperature conditions.
-
Control System:
Provides automation and control over various parameters, including homogenizer and agitator speeds, temperatures, and mixing times. User-friendly interface for operators to monitor and adjust process parameters.
-
Safety Features:
Integrated safety features for immediate halting of operations in emergencies.
-
Cleanability and Hygiene:
Components designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, meeting hygiene standards.
(Clean-in-Place) The system facilitates efficient cleaning of the tank and homogenizer between batches.
-
Material Addition and Dispensing:
Designed to facilitate the addition of raw materials and dispensing of the final product.
-
Components and Features of Inline Homogenizer with Tank:
-
Inline Homogenizer:
Utilizes high shear forces for continuous homogenization. Positioned in the processing line after the tank for continuous homogenization.
The combination of in-tank and Inline Homogenizers with a tank provides enhanced flexibility, efficiency, and consistency in various processing applications across industries. These systems contribute to the production of homogenous and high-quality products.
