# What Is a High Pressure Homogenizer?
High pressure homogenizers (HPHs) are essential industrial mixing machines that force fluids through a narrow gap at extreme pressures, breaking down particles for uniform consistency. They are widely used in pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemicals for superior emulsification, dispersion, and cell disruption.
How Does a High Pressure Homogenizer Work?
- Pressure Intensification: Fluid is pressurized (typically 500–30,000 psi) using a piston pump.
- Shearing & Impact: The fluid passes through a narrow homogenizing valve, creating turbulence and shear forces.
- Particle Reduction: Aggregates are shattered into smaller, uniform particles for stable emulsions or suspensions.
Key Applications of High Pressure Homogenizers
- Pharmaceuticals: Nanoemulsions, liposome preparation, and vaccine production.
- Food & Beverage: Milk homogenization, juice stabilization, and flavor encapsulation.
- Chemicals: Pigment dispersion, polymer processing, and nanoparticle synthesis.
- Biotech: Cell lysis for protein extraction and biofuel production.
Benefits of Using a High Pressure Homogenizer
- Improved Product Stability – Prevents phase separation in emulsions.
- Enhanced Bioavailability – Smaller particle size increases absorption rates.
- Scalability – Consistent results from lab to industrial-scale production.
- Energy Efficiency – Higher pressure = fewer processing steps.
Choosing the Right High Pressure Homogenizer
- Pressure Range: Select based on material viscosity and desired particle size.
- Flow Rate: Matches production volume (batch vs. continuous processing).
- Material Compatibility: Stainless steel or ceramic for corrosive substances.
Conclusion
High pressure homogenizers are vital for industries requiring ultra-fine particle distribution. YUANYANG provides reliable, high-performance homogenizers tailored to industrial needs.

Vertical Filling Machine
Can it fill the paste like dough?
No, the dough is too viscous and can’t flow down. The materials must be easy to flow down for this vertical filling machine. And for too viscous paste, pressure filling machine or heating mixing filling machine will be recommended based on materials.
Homogenizer Mixing Tank with Circulation System
I don’t need homogenizer, can you reduce it?
Yes, the homogenizer is an optional function, whether clients need it depends on your own products.
Liquid Mixing Tank
How to cool down fast? When the products is finished,the temperature is high, it takes a long time to get back to room temperature!
⦁The fast way is by using an external chiller to convey the cooling medium (usually cold water) through the pipe into the inner jacket,through water-circulation system to cool;
⦁Another way is directly continuously taking cooling medium (usually tap water) into the inner jacket of the agitator tank from inlet, and drain it from outlet to take away the heat.
Semi automatic powder filling machine
What’s the measuring method of this bottle filling machine for powder?
The bottle filler for powder adopts screw measurement, which has accurate measurement. That’s why it is also called screw powder filling machine, or auger filler.
Water Cooling Induction Sealer
What type of film can the bottle sealer machine work for?
The sealing machine is mainly used for heating and sealing polyolefin (such as polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.) as the inner layer of composite film material sealing.
