Micro emulsions - homogenising - production scale

SCALE UP HIGH PRESSURE HOMOGENISERS

EMULSIONS    DISPERSIONS    NANO-PARTICLES

Emulsiflex processors rapidly reduce particles and droplets from micron to nanometer sizes. These Avestin systems are based on the principle of dynamic high pressure homogenization, in which pressure is independent of flow rate. This allows precise control of particle size, with very narrow size distribution. Sub micron particles with diameters less than 50nm can easily be achieved.

SCALE UP

There are three Emulsiflex systems, the C5, C50 and C160. They cover a capacity from 1 to 160L/Hr, with guaranteed scale up between systems. Standard maximum pressure is 30,000 psi (207 MPa) and even higher pressures are available as specials.

Unique design

No “O” rings and no gaskets in the entire product path. All face seals are precision machined, metal to metal, or metal to ceramic

Homogenising Valve

Systems are supplied with a dynamic homogenizing valve in which no clogging can occur (static valve optional). Wear parts are made of stainless steel or optionally available in ceramic or titanium steel.

Filter/Extruder

An optional high pressure extruder/filter can be included for extrusion of emulsions through membranes and sterile filtration.

Cleaning/Sterilisation

Emulsiflex systems can easily be disassembled for cleaning and are “steam in place” sterilisable. All wetted parts can be autoclaved.
