Herbort 159D Homogeniser

• Homogenisation of dairy products such as milk, cream, and yoghurt.
• Processing of fruit juices, purees, and vegetable concentrates.
• Emulsification of sauces, dressings, and mayonnaise.
• Preparation of pharmaceutical emulsions and suspensions.
• Dispersion of cosmetic formulations and personal care products.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from several hundred to several thousand litres per hour, depending on the specific pump and homogenising valve configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, suitable for industrial motor loads.

Hopper material

As described, the hopper is stainless steel, which is standard for food and pharmaceutical applications due to hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Operating pressure

Homogenisers typically operate at pressures ranging from 100 to 250 bar, with some high-pressure models exceeding 500 bar for specific applications.

Footprint

The footprint for industrial homogenisers can vary, but typically requires a dedicated space of approximately 1.5m x 1m, plus access for maintenance.

• What is the primary function of a homogeniser?

  A homogeniser reduces the particle size of components within a liquid mixture, creating a stable emulsion or dispersion and preventing separation.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used homogeniser?

• Can this unit be used for viscous products?

• What are the common wear parts on a homogeniser?

• Is a pre-filter or strainer necessary before homogenisation?

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.
