Dairy Foods, April, 2004

APV, a subsidiary of Invensys plc, has reintroduced the I5MR Lab Scale Homogenizer. Simplicity of design together with associated reliability are hallmarks of these all purpose lab scale homogenizers, which employ single-plunger, positive-displacement pump equipped with a versatile homogenizing valve assembly, specifically designed for use within a laboratory or pilot-plant. They can be used for a wide variety of end products, and are suitable even for fibrous products. The APV lab scale 15MR and 31MR homogenizers can be supplied with a single-stage homogenizing valve assembly as recommended for dispersions and cell disruption, or a two-stage valve assembly, which is preferable for emulsions. Tungsten-cobalt alloy is standard for homogenizing valves, seats and impact rings and is suitable for emulsions and many dispersions. For abrasive applications, a special tungsten carbide material is also available. Both models are available in versions that can accommodate complete wash down or sterile environments. The greatest attraction to some companies is that APV will rent a lab machine and deduct the rental payments from the purchase price. Contact your local APV Distributor or:
