The most common application for homogenisation in dairy is to disperse the cream in milk or ice cream mix into a homogenous emulsion, preventing future cream separation and keeping the product in a consistent state over time.

Homogenisation occurs via mechanical means, the product is subjected to high pressure/velocity as it is forced through a small orifice causing turbulence and cavitation thus high shear breaking the particles down and dispersing them throughout.

Homogenisers are also used for various different pharmaceutical or laboratory applications. With a fully integrated design and process team at Thermaflo, we are able to specify the correct homogeniser and high-pressure pump units specifically for your application.

 

]]> Positive Displacement Pumps https://www.thermaflo.co.nz/equipment/positive-displacement-pumps/ Tue, 31 Aug 2021 01:52:00 +0000 https://thermaflowp.icepick.co.nz/?post_type=product&p=5284 Standard flow rate: from 180 to 3000 gph
Standard pressure range from: 600 to 3000 psi
Standard electric motors from: 3 to 75 kW CIP ready
Suitable for treatment of low and high viscosity products.  ]]> Positive Displacement Pumps are used in processes where very high pressure is required e.g. evaporated milk prior to spray drying, or a high viscosity product, such as tomato paste.

The compression head is manufactured from a single block of high quality, special type, ultrasounds checked stainless steel, with a 5 year guarantee against cracks and defects.

Valve assembly housed within an individually inspectable AISI 316 stainless steel block

Pumping Pistons manufactured with a rear cooling chamber, a double guide to keep a perfect alignment, and a special “Diamond-Like Carbon” plating as a standard

Valve group assemblies have replaceable seats and hemispherical valve shutters, ideal for processing a variety of products

Both models have a double homogenising stage and with a pressurizable hopper with a capacity of 0.8 or 1.6 litres.

Both models are equipped with two pumping pistons, so the lab-scale processing results are comparable/replicable with larger commercial-scale models.
