# 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.

Semi Automatic Capping Machine
What type of bottles can it be suitable for ?
The screw capping machine is mainly used for plastic bottles. The cap can be pump head, sprayer, triggers, and various other screw caps.
Aluminum Foil Sealing Machine
What’s the distance between the bottle neck and sealing head for the best sealing effect?
Generally, the distance between cap and sealing device is no more than 5 mm, and for large diameter bottle,make the distance 8 mm. The longer distance, the weaker power becomes, the larger bottle,requires larger working power.
