In conventional methods, fruit juice concentrate is prepared by piston homogenizers at a pressure of about 100 atmospheres. The high cost of purchasing a piston homogenizer, the very high energy consumption, as well as the ancillary costs of consumable parts and expensive maintenance repairs are all problematic points of using piston homogenizers. In addition, the possibility that the taste of the juice will metallize due to the very high pressure is not far from the mind.
The structure of the multi-stage homogenizer is such that the juice is subjected to shear stress 11 times by passing it through the rotor-stator only once to ensure the achievement of the appropriate texture and particle size.
The use of a multi-stage homogenizer for all types of fruit juice ensures equal or better results than the above-mentioned conventional method.
In the RS series homogenizer pump, part of the engine power is spent on circulating products. However, in these homogenizers, all the power of the motor is used to apply very high shear stress to the product and the task of circulating the material is assigned to the feed pump.
By passing the product through this homogenizer only once, it is subjected to shear stress 11 times and the maximum reduction of particle dimensions is achieved. Therefore, unlike the RS series homogenizer pump, which works in batch, it has the ability to work continuously.
