LENO TANK High Pressure Homogenizers for Superior Particle Size Reduction & Emulsification
LENO TANK’s High Pressure Homogenizers are engineered to deliver intense mechanical force for the most demanding size reduction and dispersion processes. By forcing product through a microscopically narrow, interactive valve assembly under extreme pressure, these systems achieve uniform, sub-micron particle and droplet sizes, resulting in stable emulsions, extended shelf life, and enhanced bioavailability for a wide range of industries including pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, and biotechnology.
Key Features and Benefits:
Unmatched Homogenizing Efficiency: Generates exceptionally high shear, cavitation, and impact forces within the homogenizing valve to disrupt particles and droplets, achieving consistent, narrow particle size distribution (PSD) often below 1 micron, which is critical for product stability and performance.
Robust, High-Pressure Design: Built with a powerful positive displacement pump and hardened, corrosion-resistant valve seats (e.g., ceramic, tungsten carbide) to reliably sustain operating pressures from 1,000 to 20,000 PSI (or higher for cell disruption), ensuring durability and continuous operation.
Precise Process Control & Scalability: Equipped with precise pressure control valves and PLC-based systems for reproducible results. Engineered for easy scalability from lab-scale R&D models to full industrial production lines, guaranteeing process continuity from development to manufacturing.
Sanitary & Aseptic Configurations: Available in hygienic (3-A) and fully aseptic designs with CIP/SIP capabilities, polished surfaces, and sterile barrier systems. Ideal for parenteral formulations, dairy, and nutraceuticals where contamination control is paramount.
Primary Applications:
Pharmaceutical & Biotech: For cell disruption, liposome preparation, and creating stable emulsions or suspensions for injectable and topical drug formulations to improve drug delivery.
Dairy & Food Processing: Essential for homogenizing milk, cream, juices, and sauces to prevent cream separation, improve texture, mouthfeel, and extend product shelf life.
Cosmetics & Chemicals: Used to manufacture fine, stable emulsions for lotions, creams, and pigments, ensuring smooth texture and consistent quality in personal care and specialty chemical products.
