FPS range of in-line 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

Blending

Blending refer to mixing of liquids of similar varying viscosities which is achieved easily using a FPS High Shear Homogenizer Mixer

Disintegrating

Disintegration is defined as the process in which particles, majorly in form of chips/bales/agglomerates are disintegrated to fine particles making a consistent slurry, which is achieved easily using a FPS High Shear Homogenizer Mixer

Homogenizing

Homogeneous product is designed as one which shall have equal distribution of particles through the mix which can also be defined as consistency of the mix, which is achieved easily using a FPS High Shear Homogenizer Mixer

Particle Size Reduction

Particle size reduction is a process of preparation of finer suspensions from slurries (semi-solid materials) making it consistent, which is achieved easily using a FPS High Shear Homogenizer Mixer

Emulsifying

Emulsification is defined as the process in which droplets of the mix (majorly liquids of varying viscosities) are dropped down to the range of 0.5 to 5 microns typically, which is achieved easily using a FPS High Shear Homogenizer Mixer

Solubilizing & Gelling

Solubilizing is a process of dispersion of solids into liquids which are not easily dispersed into liquids and usually form agglomerates, this process of breaking of agglomerates into finer particles to form consistent slurries, which is achieved easily using a FPS High Shear Homogenizer Mixer

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:

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.
