Agitated Vessels for Homogenization
Agitated vessels for homogenization are mixing systems designed to create uniform products from heterogeneous mixtures through high-intensity mechanical action. These vessels reduce particle or droplet size, eliminate variations in composition, and produce consistent products meeting uniformity specifications.
Why are Agitated Vessels Needed for Homogenization?
Homogenization requires agitated vessels capable of reducing particle or droplet size through high shear, eliminating composition gradients throughout the batch, and producing consistent products batch after batch. Uniform products perform consistently and meet quality specifications.

Agitated Vessels for Homogenization FAQs
What homogenization methods are available?
Homogenization uses high-shear mixers (rotor-stator), high-pressure homogenizers, ultrasonic processors, or combination systems. Batch high-shear mixers handle moderate homogenization. High-pressure homogenizers achieve fine particle sizes. Method selection depends on required particle size, viscosity, and production rate.
How do you verify homogeneity?
Homogeneity verification uses particle size analysis, sampling at multiple locations, or on-line instrumentation. Specifications define acceptable particle size distribution and uniformity criteria. Process parameters (time, speed, passes) are established through trials and verified in production.
