The YTRON-Z Principle
One or more liquid phases, as well as unsuspended particles, are passed by a forced-feed passage through the rotor-stator-system. The In-line-principle effects a defined and reproducible application of shear forces.
With the parameters of slot width, number and distance of the shear slots, number of rotor-stator-sets used, rotational speed and flow rate, the desired dispersing or homogenizing effect, can be infinitely adjusted.
Conventional batch processes often require recirculation and lead to a localised over-shearing of the products. This also lead irregular treatment of the batch. In contrast, the YTRON-Z ensures a homogeneously and reproducibly dispersed product in a single pass.
Special features:
- To be used for dynamic mixing, diluting, emulsifying, desagglomerating
- Homogenizing of liquids
- Individually adjustable by selecting specific rotor/stator combinations.
- Dispersing and pumping effect combined in one unit.
- Hygienic execution for use in Food and Pharma applications
- Motor power: 1.5 - 132 kW

YTRON-ZHV
High Shear Inline Homogenizer for emulsification or wet milling
A typical solution for many applications in the field of Food-, Pharmaceutical, Chemical and Cosmetic Industries is the use of a High Pressure Homogenizer. YTRON-ZHV may be a real alternative for your process, offering an important added value.
YTRON-ZHV is designed for peripheral speeds of up to 60 m/s. Several different configurations are available.
In a good number of applications, the effect achievable with YTRON-ZHV significantly exceeds the typical limits of toothed rotor/stator systems.
