Capable of running either lab tests or small-scale production, the SPX Flow pilot homogenizer validates tests in real-world scenarios with scalable, repeatable performances. Compact in size, the APV Pilot 4T unit homogenizes immiscible liquids into an emulsion. Liquids are forced through a small gap in the valve at high pressures, increasing velocity, decreasing pressure, and causing a turbulence/pressure differential that disrupts and disperses particles. Integrated variable speed drive and controls adjust flow and pressure, enabling the testing of multiple recipes and applications. A three-plunger design provides stability for pump, single- or two-stage homogenization.
