Among the emulsification equipment, there are many types. There are those with kettle, some without, one-stage, multi-stage, upper-homogenization, lower-homogenization, internal circulation, external circulation, high-speed and high-pressure… With some customization, it’s even more, it can be described as a variety of things. Emulsifiers and emulsification pumps are the most commonly used emulsification equipment. What is the difference between emulsifying mixer and emulsification pump? Which one has the best emulsification effect?
Both the emulsifying mixer and the emulsification pump are special equipment for the material to achieve the uniform emulsification effect of the oil and water phase materials. Their emulsification works are similar. But there is a big difference between the use occasion and the equipment structure. Take a look.
Emulsification pump:
An emulsification pump is a pump machine specially used for emulsification. It has a single function. It is generally used to emulsify the material of the pipeline and continuous production, so it is often called the autumn pipeline high shear emulsifier or inline high shear emulsifier. In addition to being used alone, the emulsification pump can also be used in combination with a mixing tank. Like the SP series of YeKeey, it is a combination of pipeline emulsification, stainless steel mixing tank, and circulation pipeline. It can circulate and emulsify the material liquid outside and inside the tank. The stator and rotor of the emulsification pump are divided into one stage and multiple stages. The high number of layers of the stator and rotor have a good emulsification effect.
Emulsifying mixer:
The emulsifying mixer is more comprehensive in function. In addition to emulsification, it also combines mixing functions such as stirring and dispersing, supplemented by heating, cooling and vacuum. The emulsifier is generally equipped with a stainless steel tank, and the cover of the kettle can be raised and lowered. Its high-shear homogenizer is installed on the lid of the kettle and is often installed at the bottom of the kettle. In addition, there are simplifications. The emulsifying head can simply be directly installed inside the mixing tank and connected to the production pipeline for use. This type of tank is called an emulsifying tank. This type of emulsification equipment can be produced in batches. The homogeneous emulsification head of the emulsification machine has many forms, such as round hole stator head, long hole stator head, combined stator head, etc. Different stator types have different emulsification effects. The dispersion and emulsification effect is more uniform and full.
In the scope of use, the emulsifying mixer is more in line with the production requirements of many modern products. It is used more and more widely. Due to the development of industrial technology and the upgrading of market demand, the higher the requirements for product production quality, the higher the requirements for emulsification equipment, so the emulsifying mixer has the characteristics of comprehensive functions, simple operation, easy cleaning and maintenance, and good emulsification effect. The scope of application is getting wider and wider. For products that only need single emulsification, an emulsification pump is also an economical choice.
