Avestin EmulsiFlex-C5 for homogenizer with sealed toolings and spares

• Cell disruption for protein extraction or vaccine production.
• Liposome and nanoparticle formulation for drug delivery systems.
• Emulsion and micro-emulsion creation for food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products.
• Particle size reduction in suspensions for improved stability and bioavailability.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 7 mL up to 5 L/h, depending on the operating pressure.

Operating pressure

Units of this type typically operate at high pressures, up to 30,000 psi (2070 bar).

Power supply

Pneumatically powered homogenizers commonly require a compressed air supply, often 6-8 bar.

Sample volume

Suitable for laboratory-scale processing of small to medium sample volumes.

Homogenising valve

Often features a dynamic homogenising valve for consistent pressure and uniform particle size distribution.

Footprint

Laboratory-scale units are typically compact, designed for benchtop use.

• What is high-pressure homogenisation?

  High-pressure homogenisation involves forcing a sample through a narrow valve at high pressure, causing a sudden pressure drop. This creates intense shear forces that disrupt cells or reduce particle sizes in emulsions and liposomes.

• What are the benefits of using a dynamic homogenising valve?

• Can this equipment process different types of samples?

• What maintenance is typically required for a high-pressure homogenizer?

• Is this unit suitable for sterile applications?

Homogenizers are valued across food and beverage sectors for consistent particle size reduction and emulsion stability. Buyers typically prioritize equipment condition, motor performance, and valve integrity when purchasing used units. Industry sentiment favors models with proven track records in relevant applications. Key strengths include reliable long-term operation, straightforward maintenance requirements, and broad compatibility with various product types. Prospective buyers should inspect pressure ratings, verify mechanical seals, and confirm spare parts availability before purchase.
