GEA Niro NS2006P Piston homogeniser

• Dairy processing for milk, cream, and yogurt to prevent fat separation and improve texture.
• Food and beverage production for sauces, fruit juices, and purees to ensure consistent particle size and stability.
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing for emulsions and suspensions to achieve uniform active ingredient distribution.
• Cosmetics production for lotions, creams, and make-up to create stable and smooth products.
• Chemical industry for various dispersions and emulsions requiring fine particle reduction.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, flow rates commonly range from tens to hundreds of litres per hour, depending on the specific configuration and application.

Maximum pressure

Units of this type are typically designed for operating pressures up to 25 MPa (250 bar), suitable for a wide range of homogenisation tasks.

Construction material

Homogenisers for food and pharmaceutical applications are predominantly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Power supply

Industrial homogenisers commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, with specific voltage and frequency dependent on the installation region.

Homogenisation stages

Many piston homogenisers feature one or two homogenisation stages to achieve desired particle size reduction and product stability.

Footprint

The footprint for a unit of this capacity typically requires a dedicated area, with dimensions varying by model and ancillary equipment.

• What is the primary function of a piston homogeniser?

  A piston homogeniser uses high pressure to force a liquid product through a narrow gap, reducing particle size and creating a stable, uniform emulsion or dispersion.

• How does a homogeniser improve product quality?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used homogeniser?

• Can this equipment handle abrasive products?

• Is this unit suitable for CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems?

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.
