Homogeneous emulsifierIt is a key equipment widely used in food, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, chemical and other industries. Its core function is to mix two or more immiscible liquids (such as oil and water) or liquids with solid particles evenly through mechanical force to form a stable and delicate lotion or suspension. The following is its specific function and technical analysis:
Core function: Achieve efficient mixing and homogenization:
Break the phase interface to form a stable lotion
The homogenizing emulsification machine generates strong shear force, impact force and turbulence through the high-speed rotating rotor (such as serrated or orifice plate), breaks the dispersed phase (such as oil droplets) into small particles (usually 1-10 μ m), and uniformly disperses them in the continuous phase (such as water), forming a thermodynamically stable lotion.
Example: In the food industry, crushing fat globules in milk to 1-2 μ m can significantly extend shelf life and improve taste.
Prevent stratification and sedimentation
The surface area of small particles increases, and the surface energy decreases, reducing the aggregation trend between particles, thus preventing lotion stratification or suspension precipitation.
Application scenario: cream in cosmetics and suspension in pharmaceuticals should be kept in a uniform state for a long time.
Improve product texture and stability
Homogenization can eliminate graininess, making the product texture more delicate and smooth, while enhancing stability to external factors such as temperature and pH.
Case: Homogenization in ice cream production can prevent ice crystal formation and improve the smoothness of the taste.
