GEA Niro NS2006P Piston homogeniser

• Dairy processing for milk, cream, and yogurt to improve stability and texture.
• Food and beverage production for sauces, juices, and purees to prevent separation and enhance mouthfeel.
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing for emulsions and suspensions to ensure uniform dispersion of active ingredients.
• Chemical and cosmetic industries for lotions, paints, and inks to achieve consistent particle size and product quality.

Typical capacity

For this class of piston homogeniser, flow rates commonly range from 100 to 500 dm³/h, depending on the specific configuration and application.

Maximum operating pressure

Units of this type typically operate at pressures up to 25 MPa (250 bar), suitable for a wide range of product viscosities.

Construction material

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

Power supply

Industrial homogenisers commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, with voltage specifications varying by region (e.g., 400V in the UK).

Homogenising valve type

Piston homogenisers typically feature single or two-stage homogenising valves, designed for efficient particle size reduction.

Footprint

Compact industrial units like the NS2006P typically have a moderate footprint, suitable for integration into existing processing lines.
