Homogenizers For Viscous Materials
Homogenizers are key pieces of machinery used in the pharmaceutical industries. They are valuable tools for creating uniform, even mixtures of two or more substances that are combined together. Homogenizers help to mix materials that normally would not mix, such as oil and water, and they also help reduce particle sizes to provide a finer…
Homogenizer Shaft Selection Guide
A Rotor Stator Homogenizer is a piece of lab equipment designed to disperse media evenly throughout a sample. This can be liquid media, abrasive media, or viscous media. Depending on the application you plan to use the equipment for, will decide what shaft you will need. For starters, each of our shafts require two specific…
Rotor Stator Homogenizers – Guide to Industrial and Laboratory Homogenizers
Rotor stator homogenizers Laboratory Homogenizers are a wide variety of different units. This article will focus on High Shear Rotor Stator Homogenizers. These types of homogenizers utilize a high rpm, spinning rotor and a sheath or “stator” to emulsify samples using mechanical tearing. What is a Rotor Stator Homogenizer? Scientific high shear homogenizers comes in…
