    When selecting a homogenizer, key factors that must be considered include the required flow rate and operating pressure for the specific processing needs, the maximum temperature and physical properties of the liquid being treated, such as its viscosity, solid content, and particle size and hardness, as special machine designs may be necessary depending on the liquid's nature and operating conditions to ensure safe and effective homogenization.

    What factors must be considered when selecting a

    homogenizer?

    Flow rate: what processing flow rate is required for the machine?

    Operating pressure: what homogenizing pressure produces the desired results?

    What is the maximum operating pressure needed for the homogenizer?

    Operating temperature: what is the maximum temperature of the liquid when it


    enters the homogenizer? Temperatures greater than 220 F (104 C) may require
    a special machine design.

    What is the physical nature of the product?

    Viscosity: this helps in the selection of the pump design.

    Presence of undissolved solids. This could affect pumping.

    Size of the solid particles. This could affect pumping.

    Hardness of the particles: may necessitate wear resistant materials.

    Presence of flammable liquids: this will require explosion proof electrical


    components.

    Aseptic conditions for the product: a special pump design would be needed.

    Environmental concerns if the product is released into the area around the
    machine: this would require a special pump design.
