Homogenizer Handbook Processing of Emulsions and Dispersions From its very genesis APV has maintained an impeccable reputation for excellence worldwide. That standard is perpetuated in the field of homogenization and high pressure pumps. It’s a tradition that dates back to our invention of the homogenizer in the early 1900’s. That desire to excel in saving our customers is demonstrated today through innovative design, precision, engineering, quality manufacturing and attention to detail within the APV Homogenization Division. This division, created by the unifying of APV Gaulin and APV Rannie introduced a new era in the industry. With more than 155 years of combined experience, APV provides our customers with the greatest resource for homogenization technology ever assembled. While maintaining the distinguishing characteristics and unique designs of the GAULIN and RANNIE products, APV is now able to offer a much greater range of equipment and service from a single source. The APV Homogenizer group is ready to meet the challenges facing us in this exciting, technologically advanced world, and we look forward to serving you! World Leader in Homogenization Technology 2 Introduction The APV Homogenizer Group designs and manufactures high-pressure homogenizers (operating pressures up to 29,000 psi/2000 bar) for the processing of emulsions and dispersions. Emulsions with viscosities up to several thousand centipoises, cP, (for the premix) may be processed, and a particle size as small as 0.1 micrometers is possible by selecting the correct unit. The same viscosity and particle size limitations apply in the case of dispersions. Naturally, there will be some overlapping as to viscosity and particle size governing the choice of equipment; but, in general, the operating parameters are sufficiently well defined that an intelligent choice for evaluations may be made. Emulsions and dispersions encompass
