Homogenizer

Compression head and Homogenizing valve

• The Compression head is manufactured from a single block of high quality stainless steel, of a special type, forged and checked with ultrasounds, with a 5 year guarantee against cracking and defects
• Each valve assembly is housed within an individually inspected special AISI 316 stainless steel block
• Pumping Pistons manufactured with a rear cooling chamber, a double guide to keep a perfect alignment, and a special “Diamond Like Carbon” plating (as a standard)
• Valve group assemblies have replaceable seats and hemispherical valve shutters, ideal for processing a very wide range of products
• Homogenizing valves designed to provide efficient use of energy, with high stability and alignment of the moving parts (impact head) due to the hydrodynamic assembly, which ensures a vibration free homogenization
• Safety valve, in sanitary execution, of spring type with replaceable shutter and seat

Motorization

• The Pump body is made from a thick walled premium grade high-resistance cast iron, engineered to withstand heavy loads and cancel out vibration
• The crankshaft is made from a special forged steel, machined from a solid piece, ”multi-step” heat treatments, superfinishing of the goosenecks and complete nitriding, is checked using ultrasounds. The crankshaft is supported by 5 robust roller bearings (with bronze bearings used only on the crank pins)
• Power transmission with double reduction stage: “V” belts/pulleys, with semi–automatic tensioning system, with two helicoidal gears within the pump body (slow gear coupled directly on the crankshaft).
• Lubricating plant of pressurized type with the level of the oil detected by a proper sensor, cooling of the oil by a tubular heatexchanger, an alarm for irregular pressure, an alarm for high temperature, and driven filtering of any possible impurities. For the best thermal balance/dissipating all transmission components are immersed in an oil bath
• 3 phase, 4 pole, AC electric drive motor of leading Company
• The frame is constructed from a square-section carbonated steel pipe coated in a powder painting, and supplied with dismountable stainless steel panels with satin finish

Maintenance kit

• Initial set of spare parts supplied with the machine include the following: full set of gaskets, a set of springs for valves and a complete safety valve set
• Set of tools for ordinary maintenance
• Lubrication oil
• Instruction and maintenance manuals (2 copies + CD ROM)

Standard options

• 2nd stage homogenizing valve controlled by a special oil-pneumatic system
• Digital pressure transducers and analogue gauges with 4-20 ma output
• Fixed Capacity (remote stainless steel panel, with soft-starter)
• Variable Capacity (remote stainless steel panel)
• Aseptic Version with “sterility barriers” traced with steam condensate created by an integrated plant
• Pulsation dampeners on product inlet and/or outlet connections, for special aseptic version as well
• Pressure gauge with alarm contacts for the automatic cut-off of the homogenizing pressure, complete with timing device to manage the start/stop of the homogenizing valves
• Automatic homogenization pressure controller
