Valve-type plunger homogenizers are designed for one-, two- and three-stage homogenization. This process takes place in a special valve system, which is the center of the entire homogenization process. When passing through the smallest openings in the valve under high pressure and constant monitoring, the product finds itself in conditions of high turbulence, which is the most effective mechanism for dividing into particles. The degree of fragmentation depends on the hydraulic conditions in the valve slot area. These conditions are mainly determined by the homogenization pressure, which determines the speed of movement of the ointment in the valve slot and its height, which determines the hydraulic radius of the flow. Valve-type homogenizers use multi-plunger high-pressure pumps with three, five and even seven plungers. When the…
