Homogenizer

The word homogenize refers to the ability to make a mixture homogeneous, the latter referring to uniformity. This is usually related to the use of chemicals, which are mixed through physical means, until it results in a uniform solution. Homogenization is a technique that is used in many fields, from biology, agriculture and chemistry, to gastronomy, to name a few disciplines, however, are many more.

The term homogenization, used in many fields of science, refers to the process through which a mixture is achieved to have the same properties, i.e., to be uniform and not divided by phases, unlike heterogeneous mixtures. The advantage of homogenizing substances is that it is easier to study the components of the mixture and, in the case of the food industry, provides an increase in quality to the final product.

Ultrasonic Processor is a multi-functional and multi-purpose instrument that uses the ultrasonic to generate cavitation effect in liquid and ultrasonically treats the material. It is equipped with a fully digital intelligent ultrasonic generator, which greatly improves the instrument work,Stability and reliability. The instrument can be used for the crushing of various animal and plant cells and virus cells, and can be used for emulsification, separation, homogenization, extraction, defoaming, washing and accelerating chemical reactions. It is widely used in biochemistry, microbiology, medicinal chemistry, surface chemistry, physics, zoology and other fields.

• Drug extraction, cell, bacteria, and viral tissue disruption. Such as the extraction of cell contents.
• Dispersion, homogenization, and emulsification of the material particles. Such as the dispersion of nanomaterials.
• Accelerate the dissolution and accelerate the chemical reaction. For chemical synthesis, this ultrasonic device is equipped with a soundproof box bracket, a special soundproof box, and a low temperature system.

Homogenizers are equipment whose main function is the application of mechanical forces to produce a homogeneous mixture of liquid-liquid or solid-liquid systems. Homogenizers are designed to disintegrate the particles that make up solutes, whether solid or liquid, to form a completely uniform mixture.  Pigments, chemicals, foods, plants and cells, among others, can be applied to the homogenization technique.

In the market, these equipment can be found in compact form, for laboratories, and larger, for industries. Despite the number of models available, the most common are: rotor/stator mixers, ultrasonic homogenizers and high pressure homogenizers. The characteristics of each are described below:

• Rotor/stator mixer: these are characterized by having a rotor and a stator. The stator remains stationary and the rotor rotates at high speed. The movement of the rotor within the stator is what creates the suction effect that reduces the particle size of the reagents to be mixed.
