SUPRATON INLINE HOMOGENISERS FOR EMULSIONS Supraton inline homogenisers are based on the rotor/stator principle. More than 60 years, they are in use in many different and challenging applications in emulsion technology. Among others, the Supraton machine is in use for the production of high quality emulsions in the food industry (e. g. tomato soups), in the chemical industry (epoxy/resin-emulsions) and in the bitumen industry (e. g. polymer modified bitumen/water-emulsions). A quality criteria of emulsions is the droplet-size distribution in the disperse phase. The required energy density is deployed very efficiently in the process by Supraton inline homogenisers. The product passing through the Supraton machine is subject to several physical mechanisms: • Multistage hydrodynamic high- shear High-frequency oscillating forces Intensive micro-volume mixing Pressure increase up to 11.5 bar Shear-rate above 200,000 s-1 at circumferential • speed of the rotor up to 57 m/s Nozzle tool High performance in a large number of different product applications is considered by deploying a variety of toolsets.

Additionally we offer the Supraton S100 with tooth and chamber tool, for laboratory and small production. The motor is driven by a frequency converter. The throughput rate covers the range of 50–1,000 l/h. BUCKAU-WOLF GMBH Nordstrasse 41...
