Structure And Components Of A Vacuum Homogenizing Emulsifier

A vacuum homogenizing emulsifier primarily consists of several core components: an emulsification tank, a stirring system, a homogenizing and emulsifying system, a vacuum system, a heating/cooling temperature control system, a lifting system, and a control system.
The emulsification tank serves as the main vessel for containing the materials and facilitating the reaction; it is typically constructed from high-borosilicate glass or SUS316L stainless steel. Its inner surface requires a mirror-polished finish, with a specified roughness (Ra value) of 0.8 micrometers or less. The stirring system typically comprises an anchor-type wall-scraping impeller (alternatively, an anchor-frame or helical-ribbon type) fitted with PTFE scrapers, designed to prevent material from adhering to the tank walls and to ensure more uniform mixing.
The core of the homogenizing system is a high-speed rotating rotor-stator structure (the homogenizing head), which achieves material micronization through high-shear action. The vacuum system is utilized to create a negative-pressure environment, capable of achieving a vacuum level ranging from -0.096 MPa to -0.098 MPa. The temperature control system facilitates precise heating or cooling of the materials by circulating media—such as water or oil—through the reaction vessel's jacket. The lifting system typically employs an electric mechanism to raise and lower the working frame and the vessel lid.
The control system generally utilizes a PLC-based architecture to enable automated operation of the equipment. The equipment design tends toward modularity, allowing for the flexible integration of optional auxiliary systems—such as CIP (Clean-in-Place) and SIP (Sterilize-in-Place)—to meet diverse production requirements.
