Optimising the homogenisation process

0

SPX has a wide range of homogenisers suitable for applications from laboratory to pilot plant to large scale production.

SPX has a long history of homogenisation through its APV Rannie and Gaulin series and vast experience of applying homogenisation solutions into a variety of industries including dairy, food and beverage, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Using its pioneering technology, SPX homogenisation solutions are carefully designed to meet specific application requirements and optimise both energy and water consumption for economic production while providing consistent, reliable performance.

While providing product stability the homogenisation process can give a competitive edge by improving product characteristics such as creating a better mouth feel, higher gloss or improved water binding properties. It can also reduce the need for additives, lowering recipe costs and making production more economic.

To optimise the process and ensure the necessary product characteristics are being created, SPX Innovation Centres are outfitted with all the necessary equipment to perform trials of the homogenisation process on product samples and to analyse the results. Many emulsions have different requirements and designing the process for the minimum required pressure provides the best efficiencies. The use of these Innovation Centres ensures machine design is to exact requirements and that capital and operating expenditure is optimised.

When reviewing high-pressure homogenisation technology available in the marketplace, the principle of operation for these machines is the same. Whatever the application or scale of production, real customer benefit is gained through complete understanding of a product and the production goals.
