Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Homogenisers in this class commonly process volumes ranging from 100 to 500 litres per hour, with the 150-litre hopper on this unit indicating suitability for batch processing.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, which aligns with standard industrial power in the UK.

Construction material

As indicated, the unit is stainless steel, which is standard for food processing equipment due to its hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Homogenisation pressure

For this class of equipment, homogenisation pressures typically range from 100 to 250 bar, depending on the product and desired particle size.

Footprint

Industrial homogenisers with a 150-litre hopper typically have a moderate footprint, requiring dedicated floor space, often around 1.5m x 1m.

Maintenance requirements

Regular maintenance for homogenisers includes checking seals, valves, and pistons, and ensuring the homogenising head is clean and free from wear.
