EmulsiFlex Principle of Operation:
A high pressure pump (C) pushes the product
through an adjustable homogenizing valve (D).
The product can also be passed through a
membrane (E). It can be collected (G) or
recycled to the reservoir (A) via tubing/pipes
or heat exchanger (F).
EmulsiFlex equipment can be delivered as:
1-High pressure homogenizer (A,C,D,F,G)
2-High pressure filter/extruder (A,C,E,G)
3-Homogenizer/filter/extruder combination
(A,C,D,E,G)
4-Two-phase homogenizer/filter/extruder with precision
metering pumps, or as shown to the left (A,B,C,D,E,F,G).

When processing volumes greater than a pressure transducer (16) attached to an electronic meter 1L it is less costly to run the EmulsiFlex-C5 with an air (21). Filtration/extrusion pressure can be measured using compressor than with bottled gas.
