FPS range of INLINE HIGH SHEAR HOMOGENIZER comprise of a specific arrangement of a number of sets of Stators and Rotors concentrically mounted horizontally inline to the fluid flow. Inline flow of the material ensures each droplet passing through the homogenizer is subjected to vigorous hydraulic shearing action with no possibility of by-passing.
Features:
- End Connections: ANSI Flanged/ TC Clamps/ SMS Union
- M. O. C: S. S-304/ S. S-316L/Others Material as per request
- Multiple range of Working Heads
- Drive Unit: TEFC/ Explosion Proof Electric Motor
- Shaft Sealing: Single Mechanical Seal/Double Mechanical Seal
- Temperature control: Double Jacketed Housing for heating/cooling
- Motor Starter: S/D starter (for fixed rpm)/ VFD (for variable rpm)
- Volume range starting from Lab Scale to Commercial Volumes
Shear Force Principle:
FPS In-line High Shear Homogenizer works on the principle of shear force produced in between the rotor and stator. The high-speed rotation of the rotor sucks the material into the eye of the rotor wherein high amount of centrifugal force throws the material outwards towards the stator wall. The material is sheared off as the high rotational kinetic energy is converted to heat energy because of disruption to the flow of the material in between the rotor and stator further leading to the high amount of shear energy in a small confined space, also known as the tolerance in between the rotor and stator.
Working of Inline High Shear Homogenizers:
High Speed Rotation of rotor blades exerts a powerful suction, drawing in liquids and solids directly into the eye of the rotor.
Material is centrifugally forced to the tolerance between the rotor and inner walls of the stator where milling action takes place.
The milling is then followed by vigorous hydraulic shearing as the material is forced through the perforations in the stator.
A continuous mixing pattern is maintained due to continuous radial expulsion and suction into the eye forming a stable mixing pattern.
Configuration of Inline Homogenizer in Process:
Inline homogenizer is mounted inline to the outlet of the mixing vessel either in a re-circulation loop or single-pass configuration.
Recirculation Model
The product is drawn from the vessel, discharge being sucked into the inline homogenizer through the rotor eye, forced centrifugally outwards to the stator walls, sheared between the rotor-stator and further thrown outwards to the re-circulation loop wherein can either be recirculated or passed to outlet for further processing based on the process requirement.
Continuous Model
The product is continuously drawn from a number of tanks (may be 1, 2, 3, 4… or so on) in to the inline homogenizer through the rotor eye, forced centrifugally outwards to the stator walls, sheared between the rotor-stator and further thrown outwards to the outlet in a single pass.
Types of Inline High Shear Homogenizers:
Four- Stage Inline High Shear Homogenizer
Two Stage High Shear Homogenizer
Single Stage High Shear Homogenizer
