A sanitary homogenizing/emulsifying pump engineered for high-speed emulsification and short-distance transfer of liquid and semi-liquid formulations. The pump chamber uses a matched set of double-layer stator and double-layer rotor elements; the rotor and stator are forged and heat-treated to eliminate internal stresses, improving toughness, wear resistance and service life. Components that contact product are manufactured from hygienic stainless steel (commonly 304 or 316L), suitable for food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical environments.
Key features
- Double-layer rotor and stator assembly for efficient shearing and emulsification
- Rotor drive shaft made from high-strength composite material for durability
- Product-wetted parts in 304/316L stainless steel
- Water-cooled double-end mechanical seal for robust sealing and temperature control
- Rotor shaft supported by a bearing box with dual bearing fulcrums to minimize vibration
- Direct coupling to an external motor for flexible drive arrangements
How it works
Material is drawn into the pump inlet and forced through the rotor-stator gaps where high-shear action homogenizes and emulsifies the product. The rotor’s centrifugal action then discharges the processed material via the outlet. The design provides rapid emulsification and is well-suited for processes where throughput and speed are priorities over ultra-fine homogenization.
Applications
- Food & beverage (sauces, dressings, dairy blends)
- Cosmetics & personal care (creams, lotions)
- Pharmaceuticals (suspensions, topical formulations)
- Chemicals & specialty fluids (emulsions, dispersions)
Operational notes
- Best used for medium- to high-speed emulsification and short-distance conveying
- Can be paired with a vertical high-shear homogenizer for improved particle size reduction and product uniformity
- Routine inspection of mechanical seals and bearings recommended to maintain sanitary integrity and long service life
