GEA Niro NS2006P Piston homogeniser

• Dairy processing for milk, cream, and yoghurt to improve stability and texture.
• Beverage production, including juices and plant-based drinks, to prevent separation and enhance mouthfeel.
• Food ingredient manufacturing for emulsions, sauces, and dressings.
• Pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries for stable suspensions and emulsions.
• Chemical processing for fine dispersions and particle size reduction.

Typical capacity

Homogenisers in this class commonly offer flow rates ranging from tens to hundreds of litres per hour, suitable for pilot or small-to-medium scale production.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Operating pressure

Piston homogenisers are designed for high operating pressures, typically up to 25 MPa (250 bar) or higher, to achieve effective particle size reduction.

Construction material

Contact parts are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., AISI 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, a compact footprint is common, though exact dimensions vary by model and ancillary equipment.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance typically involves checking and replacing seals, valves, and pistons, with service intervals dependent on usage.

• What is the primary function of a piston homogeniser?

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

• What products are best suited for this type of homogeniser?

• What are the benefits of homogenisation?

• How does a piston homogeniser differ from a high-shear mixer?

• What considerations are important when installing a used homogeniser?

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.
