A production-oriented microjet homogenizer is a device that utilizes the high-speed impact, shear, and cavitation effects generated by high-pressure fluid passing through micrometer sized pores to achieve fine dispersion, emulsification, and homogenization of materials. Its core applications cover multiple fields such as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, chemicals, and biotechnology, as follows:
1、 Core functional principle
High pressure microjet technology
The material is pushed by a high-pressure pump (with a pressure of up to 100-300MPa) and passes through a diamond interaction chamber (micrometer sized pore) to form a high-speed (200-1000m/s) liquid flow. The liquid flow undergoes triple effects of collision, shear, and cavitation in the chamber, breaking particles or droplets to the nanometer level (100-500nm) while achieving uniform dispersion.
Multi level homogenization capability
By adjusting the pressure, number of cycles, and chamber structure, the final particle size distribution can be controlled. For example, food lotion needs particle size<1 μ m to prevent stratification, while nano drug carrier needs particle size<200nm to ensure targeting.
2、 Core application scenarios
1. Food industry
Dairy products and beverages
Stable lotion: break the fat ball in milk and vegetable based drinks to 0.5-1 μ m to prevent oil-water separation and extend the shelf life. For example, a certain brand of almond milk has an extended shelf life from 30 days to 90 days after being homogenized by microjet.
Improve taste: Crush the fruit pulp particles in the juice to enhance smoothness. After homogenization of orange juice, the sedimentation rate decreases by 80%.
Functional ingredient dispersion: Evenly disperse probiotics, dietary fiber, etc. in beverages to avoid aggregation.
Baking and Seasoning
Nano level emulsification: When making low-fat mayonnaise, micro jet homogenization is used to replace some of the oil, achieving a taste similar to full fat products.
Essence stability: Wrap flavor molecules in nanometer milk drops to reduce volatilization and improve flavor persistence.
2. Pharmaceutical industry
Nano drug formulations
Liposome/nanoparticle preparation: Encapsulate drugs in 100-200nm liposomes or polymer nanoparticles to enhance bioavailability. For example, the anti-cancer drug paclitaxel showed a 3-fold increase in tumor targeting after being homogenized by microjet.
Aseptic production: In conjunction with the online sterilization system (SIP), it meets GMP requirements and is suitable for high-risk dosage forms such as injections and ophthalmic preparations.
Vaccines and Biological Products
Virus like particle (VLP) dispersion: The virus coat protein is uniformly dispersed to maintain immunogenicity. For example, in the production of HPV vaccines, microjet homogenization ensures VLP particle size uniformity>95%.
Cell lysis: Mild lysis of yeast cells, releasing intracellular products such as insulin, with a cell lysis rate of over 99%.
3. Cosmetics and Personal Care
Nano lotion and micro lotion
Sunscreen dispersion: Crush inorganic sunscreens such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to<100nm to achieve a transparent sunscreen formula and avoid the phenomenon of "white turbidity".
Active ingredient penetration: Encapsulate vitamin C, coenzyme Q10, and other substances in nanodroplets to enhance skin absorption. For example, after a certain essence liquid is homogenized by micro jet, its percutaneous absorption rate increases by 50%.
Stable anhydrous formula
Homogenization of ointment: evenly disperse wax, oil and other raw materials to avoid clumping. For example, in the production of lipstick, micro fluidic homogenization improves the fineness of the cream by 2 levels.
4. Chemical Industry and New Materials
Preparation of nanomaterials
Metal oxide dispersion: Disperse powders such as titanium dioxide and aluminum oxide to the nanoscale for use in catalysts, coatings, and other fields. For example, a catalyst company controlled the particle size of the active component at 50nm through microjet homogenization, resulting in a 40% increase in reaction efficiency.
Graphene dispersion: solving the problem of graphene aggregation, preparing uniform conductive ink for flexible electronic devices.
Polymer material modification
Polymer lotion: break the latex particles to<500nm to improve the film forming performance of the coating. In the production of automotive paint, micro jet homogenization increases the glossiness of the paint film by 15%.
3、 Technical advantages
High Efficiency and Energy Saving
The single processing capacity can reach 500L/h (production equipment), with energy consumption reduced by 30% compared to traditional high-pressure homogenizers, making it suitable for large-scale continuous production.
Precise control of particle size
By adjusting the pressure and cycle times, a particle size range of 50nm-10 μ m can be achieved to meet the needs of different industries.
Aseptic production compatible
The material is made of 316L stainless steel and supports online sterilization (SIP) and cleaning (CIP), complying with FDA/EMA certification.
Low shear mild treatment
Avoid high temperature or strong mechanical shear damage to thermosensitive components (such as proteins and enzymes), and preserve their biological activity.
