The Difference Between Vertical Homogenizer and Horizontal Homogenizer?

The vertical homogenizer (split homogenizer) is driven by the motor to drive the gear (rotor) and the matched fixed teeth (stator) for relatively high-speed operation, and the processed raw materials use their own The weight or external pressure (which can be generated by the pump) pressurizes the downward spiral impact force, because the high tangential speed and the high-frequency mechanical effect generated by the high-speed operation of the rotor provide the strong kinetic energy, so that the raw materials are in the narrow gap between the stator and the rotor. To severe mechanical and hydraulic shear, centrifugal extrusion, liquid layer friction, collision tearing and turbulent flow, etc., to produce suspension (solid/liquid), emulsion (liquid/liquid) and foam (gas/liquid). Therefore, the immiscible solid phase, liquid phase and gas phase are rapidly homogeneous and finely dispersed and emulsified under the combined action of the relative stability process and appropriate additives, and the stable high-quality products are finally obtained through high-frequency cycles. Vertical split structure, long operation time, not easy to cause shaft eccentricity, easy to replace, and only need to replace the opposite transmission belt, most of the staff can do it.

The horizontal homogenizer is operated by the motor using the straight rotating teeth (rotor) and the matching fixed teeth (stator) at a relatively high speed, and the processed raw materials use their own weight or external pressure (which can be generated by the pump). ) Pressurized to generate downward spiral impact force, when the external kinetic energy is introduced, the two raw materials are recombined into a homogeneous phase. Because of the strong kinetic energy provided by the high tangential speed and high-frequency mechanical effect generated by the high-speed operation of the rotor, the raw materials are subjected to severe mechanical and hydraulic shearing, centrifugal extrusion, liquid layer friction, collision in the narrow gap between the stator and the rotor. Holistic effects such as tearing and turbulence, producing suspensions (solid/liquid), emulsions (liquid/liquid) and foams (gas/liquid). Therefore, the immiscible solid phase, liquid phase and gas phase are rapidly homogeneous, finely dispersed, emulsified and homogeneous under the combined action of the relative stability process and appropriate additives. Through high-frequency cycle repetition, a stable and high-quality product is finally obtained. The horizontal direct-connection structure has a long operation time, which is easy to cause the eccentricity of the shaft and the unstable operation of the machine. Professional staff must disassemble the internal structure and replace it. And replace the damaged emulsification head and shaft.

From the structural point of view, the vertical type is driven by a belt, and the speed can be increased by 3-5 times than that of the motor, so the actual effect of dispersion, emulsification and homogenization is more obvious than that of the horizontal homogenizer.
