Homogenizers for small test lines

How flow, pressure and placement before or after heating affect which homogenizer fits a small line.

Flow range, pressure control, and number of stages determine which conditions a unit can test. Product thickness and solid particles help determine the pump and valve.

A homogenizer can sit before or after heat treatment, depending on the planned sequence. Its location affects the liquid temperature and the hygiene requirements for that point in the line.
