APV Gaulin T Series Homogenizer

• This equipment is commonly used for cell disruption in biotechnology and pharmaceutical production.
• It is suitable for creating stable emulsions and dispersions in food and beverage processing.
• Often employed in dairy for milk and cream homogenization to improve texture and shelf-life.
• Utilised in cosmetic and chemical industries for particle size reduction and uniform mixing.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities typically range from laboratory scale (litres per hour) to industrial volumes (thousands of litres per hour), depending on the specific T Series model.

Operating pressure

APV Gaulin T Series homogenizers commonly operate at pressures up to 1500 bar (22,000 psi), essential for effective cell disruption and emulsification.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying motor power depending on throughput and pressure requirements.

Homogenizing valve type

These units commonly feature single or two-stage homogenizing valves, often with wear-resistant materials for extended operational life.

Materials of construction

Wetted parts are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 316L) to meet hygienic standards and ensure chemical compatibility.

Footprint

The physical footprint varies significantly with capacity; smaller laboratory units are compact, while larger industrial models require substantial floor space.
