Working Principle and Processing

SUPRATON® – more than 50 years of experience and innovation in industrial production

The liquid product passing through the homoge-niser is subject to several physical processes:

Multistage hydrodynamic high-shear

High-frequency oscillating forces

Intensive micro-volume mixing

Pressure increase

High capacity due to the toothed tools, particular high shearing of the product and extreme mass transfer rates make the SUPRATON® machine a preferred equipment for the following and similar dynamic in-line processes:

Homogenising

Mixing

Dispersing

Disintegrating

Emulsifying

Dissolving

Reacting

Grinding

SUPRATON® machines are dynamic rotor-stator homogenisers with a multistage tool set. Rotor and stator consist of concentric tool rings that are radial slotted and/or drilled. The tool speed achieves 50 m/s whilst the annular shearing gap dimension is 1 mm and often considerably smaller.

Standard Model Characteristics

Tool Geometry

Depending on the product and processing requirements an optimum tool geometry can be used as well as individual set-ups, material combinations and diverse surface finishes.

Tool Material

The latest metal alloys or composite ceramics allow maximum tool lifetime, including the pro-cessing of high abrasive and corrosive products.

Decreasing Wear

Symmetric Design

SUPRATON® homogenisers are of axial sym-metric design for using both rotation directions – important in case of wear to use both faces of the tooth for an increased tool lifetime.

Changeable Single Rings

The single ring design of the multistage tool set means easy and economic ring replacement and optimizes the dispersion efficiency by stag-gered arrangement.

Stator Injection

Rotor Flushing

Small portions of the product flow injected direct into the shearing and mixing zone to ensure optimum homogenisation.

This feature allows flushing of the backside of the rotor for the complete tool unit cleaning.
