Homogenization Overview T h e T h e o ry o f H o m o g e n i z at i o n The unhomogenized product enters the valve area at high pressure and low Homogenization valve velocity. As the product enters the adjustable, close clearance area between the valve and seat, there is a rapid increase in velocity with a corresponding VALVE SEAT decrease in pressure. The intense energy release causes turbulence and localized pressure differences, which will tear apart the particles. The homogenized product impinges on the impact ring and exits at a pressure sufficient for movement to the next processing stage....

SPX Delivers the Right Valve for Your Application SEO Homogenizing Valve: A flat, conical homogenizing valve made of several ceramic materials is used for abrasive products. Also available in Stellite and tungsten carbide. The SEO achieves the same homogenizing effect as the LW, at slightly higher pressures. XFD Homogenizing Valve: Typically used as a single-stage valve for capacities up to 36,000 liters/hour or as the first-stage valve in a two-stage configuration. The XFD is available in Stellite and tungsten carbide. LW Universal Homogenizing Valve: The LW’s (liquid whirl) whirling chambers...
