The dairy processing industry as well as the food and beverage industry makes use of the Gaulin homogenizer. This device is also utilized in chemical processing plants as well as petroleum and pharmaceutical manufacturing applications. It is a highly versatile piece of equipment that is used often for sanitary processing purposes.
The Homogenization Process
The process of homogenization is carried out by forcing a sample through a narrow path. Cavitation turbulence forces, combined with high pressure, convert the sample into a high-quality end product.
Various types of industries utilize from the impressive capabilities offered by a homogenizer. The homogenizer is considered superior to many other types of mixing machines due to its scalability and ability to implement multiple mechanical forces. As a result, this device produces a consistent, uniform, and stable product.
Homogenization of Two Compounds
The purpose of the Gaulin homogenizer when used in the sanitary processing industry or other applications is to blend or mix oil or fat into a water base. During this process two compounds – the water-based liquid and fat – undergo homogenization into a single uniform solution that does not separate.
Effective and Efficient Operation
Several different models of Gaulin homogenizers are available, but they all function utilizing the same basic technology. The device utilizes a multi-piston top and high pressure which forces a specific product or media to pass through an orifice of variable size.
The size of the orifice in the process itself designed to ensure the breakdown of the oil or fat into an adequately smaller size. When the size of the globules is sufficiently small, the process of mixing the fat until the solution is easier and more efficient, causing in a significantly delayed or limited separation of the two elements over a period of time.
The entire process of homogenization is important for the processing of certain types of foods, dairy processing, and processing of pharmaceutical products. Homogenizers are reliable devices that deliver high volume processing with various configuration options available.
