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.
