In the modern industrial field, product quality and production efficiency are essential key elements for enterprises to gain a competitive advantage. In order to achieve consistency in product quality and improve production efficiency, various industries are seeking innovative solutions. One of the very important devices is the homogenizer. Homogenizer disperses and homogenizes materials through mechanical or chemical methods, assisting enterprises in achieving complete homogenization of product quality and improving production efficiency.

1、 Classification method of homogenizer

Homogenizers use energy transfer methods to finely disperse and homogenize materials. It can decompose large particle materials into smaller particles and achieve a uniform state through high-speed motion, shearing, pressure, or ultrasonic waves. The following is the classification method commonly used for homogenizers:

According to the working principle of homogenizers, they can be divided into two categories: mechanical homogenizers and chemical homogenizers. Mechanical homogenizers mainly use mechanical means such as motion shear force, vibration, or high pressure to achieve uniform mixing of samples. The chemical homogenizer changes the properties and state of the sample through chemical reactions.

According to the different processing scales, homogenizers can be divided into two types: experimental homogenizers and industrial homogenizers. Experimental homogenizers are mainly used for homogenization treatment of small and medium-sized samples in laboratories, while industrial homogenizers are suitable for homogenization treatment of samples in large-scale industrial production processes.

According to the structural characteristics of homogenizers, they can be divided into stirred homogenizers and high-pressure homogenizers. Stirring homogenizer mixes and homogenizes samples through rotation or vibration, suitable for low viscosity samples. A high-pressure homogenizer rapidly sprays samples by applying high pressure, generating strong compression and shear forces, suitable for high viscosity and difficult to handle samples.

According to different application fields, homogenizers can be divided into specialized homogenizers for the food industry, pharmaceutical industry, and chemical industry. The sample characteristics and requirements of each industry are different, so corresponding specialized homogenizers are needed to meet the requirements of different industries.

The following are common classification methods, which can also be classified according to different technical characteristics and functions. Different types of homogenizers are suitable for different scenarios and needs, and choosing the homogenizer that suits oneself is crucial for improving product quality and production efficiency.
