Homogenizing Emulsifying Pumps: Applications and Working Principles

2025-07-07

1. Multifunctional Industrial Applications

Homogenizing emulsifying pumps (line-type high-shear dispersion emulsifiers) excel in:

Food & Beverage: Emulsifying sauces, dairy products, and nutraceuticals.
Pharmaceuticals: Preparing liposomes, emulsions, and topical formulations.
Cosmetics: Producing creams, lotions, and emulsified cosmetics.
Petrochemicals: Dispersing asphalt emulsions and oil-in-water systems.
Water Treatment: Creating stable flocculants for wastewater purification.

Suote's Customization Capabilities:

Tailored designs for high-viscosity materials (up to 100,000 cP)
Enhanced homogenization modules for nano-scale particle dispersion

2. Core Working Components

The pump's primary working parts include:

Rotor: Rotates at high speed (up to 14,000 RPM), generating centrifugal and hydraulic forces.
Stator: Stationary component with precision-engineered slots or perforations.
Three-Stage Stator-Rotor Sets: Enable progressive shearing for multi-level particle reduction.

Design Features:

Cantilevered drive shaft for balanced high-speed operation
Elastic coupling to minimize vibration and noise
Customizable seals (mechanical / 双唇型) for hazardous or sterile environments

3. Mechanism of High-Shear Emulsification

Kinetic Energy Generation:
The rotor’s rotation creates:
- Tangential speeds up to 40 m/s
- Turbulent flow rates exceeding 10,000 cycles per minute
Multi-Mechanical Actions:
- Shear Force: Particles are cut by the rotor-stator gap (0.1–1 mm).
- Impact Force: Materials collide with stator teeth at high velocity.
- Cavitation Effect: Pressure fluctuations form micro-bubbles that implode, further breaking particles.
Phase Integration Process:
- Immiscible phases (solid-liquid, liquid-liquid, gas-liquid) are forced through the rotor-stator gap.
- Repeated cycles (5–10 passes) achieve uniform dispersion (particle sizes as low as 0.1–5 μm).

4. Operational Advantages

Feature	Benefit	Industrial Impact
High-shear dispersion	Nano-scale particle reduction	Improved product stability in pharmaceuticals
Continuous inline processing	200–5000 L/H throughput	Reduced batch times in food production
Low energy consumption	3–7 kW per 1000 L/H	Cost savings in large-scale operations

5. Suote's Technical Innovations

Modular Design:
Replaceable stator-rotor sets for quick adaptation to different processes.
Digital Control System:
PLC-integrated speed regulation (20–100% RPM) and real-time pressure monitoring.
Sanitary Compliance:
316L stainless steel construction with electropolished surfaces (Ra ≤ 0.4 μm) for GMP environments.

Conclusion

Homogenizing emulsifying pumps from Suote combine high-shear technology with customizable designs to enable precise phase integration across industries.
