that dates back to our invention
of the homogenizer in the early
1900's.
Today, that desire to excel in
serving our customers is
demonstrated through innovative design, precision engineering, quality manufacturing, and
attention to detail within the APV
Homogenizer Division.
This new division, created by
the unifying of APV Gaulin and
APV Rannie introduces a new
era in this industry. With more
than 150 years of combined
experience, APV provides our
customers with the greatest
resource for homogenization
technology ever assembled.

The APV Homogenizer Division
is ready to meet the challenges
facing us in this exciting, technologically advanced world and
we look forward to serving you.
Homogenization and Applications
•
Reduced to basics, homogenization is the process of emulsifying one liquid into another or
uniformly dispersing solid
particles throughout a liquid.
This is accomplished by
pumping the product under
pressure through a small,
adjustable gap causing
turbulence, cavitation and
intense mixing.
APV homogenizers have
revolutionized countless
processes, facilitating the
development of new products
and enhancing many others.
•
Product stability, uniformity,
consistency, viscosity, absorbency, shelf life, reaction time,
and improved flavor and color
are some of the benefits that
have been achieved through
homogenization.
APV homogenizers are designed and manufactured for
research, pilot plant and
production applications. Models
are available with operating
pressures up to 21,750 psi
(1,500 bar) and capacities up to
14,000 gph (52,900 1ph).
In the emerging field of biotechnology, cell disruption is a major
application for high pressure
homogenization. Many cells
contain valuable intracellular
products, such as enzymes and
proteins. High pressure homogenization ruptures the cell wall,
allowing the intracellular
products to be harvested.
Typical applications for APV homogenizers:
Dairy and Ice Cream
Milk - Desserts - Cream Cream Cheese - Ice Cream Condensed Milk - Yogurt -
Processed Cheese Sour Cream
Food
Fat Substitutes - Flavors and
Fragrances - Baby Food Desserts - Dressings - Fruit
Juice and Concentrate Liquors - Sauces - Tomato

Homogenizer Valves
The key to the homogenizer is
valve technology. The APV
Homogenizer Division offers a
wide variety of valves designed
for different applications. Our
specialists will custom engineer
a homogenizer, utilizing the
optimum design and materials
for your specific application.
Plug Valve is normally used as a
single-stage valve and as the
first stage of a two-stage
assembly for flow rates up to
2,500 gph (9,500 1ph).
For most products a single stage
homogenizing valve assembly is
recommended. However, when
lower homogenizing pressures
are used, a two-stage valve
configuration can provide some
advantages (i.e., lower viscosity
and higher heat stability).
TC Valve has tungsten carbide
inserts and is most effective
when used for processing highly
abrasive products.
In a two-stage design the
second stage establishes
controlled backpressure,
concentrating the energy in the
first homogenizing zone and
also minimizes the possibility of
clumping/coalescence.
The following represents the
range of valve options available.
Piloted Valve is typically used as
a single-stage valve for flow
rates greater than 2,500 gph
(9,500 1ph).
CD Valve assembly, made of
ceramic material, is designed for
high pressure cell disruption.
SEO Valve is constructed of
ceramic and is ideal for applications requiring pressures from
10,000 up to 21,750 psi (700 to
1,500 bar).

The "Liquid End"
•
Only APV offers you a liquid end
with this combination of designs,
materials and construction
features. Ball or poppet valves
may be selected depending on
your application. Designs meet
both domestic and international
sanitary specifications.
Three-Part Valve Housing
The unique design of this APV
valve housing is an example of
engineering superiority. This
design allows pressure segregation from suction and
discharge manifolds , reducing
the possibility of breaking or
cracking a valve housing block.
Ball or poppet valves can be
specified depending on the
application. This valve housing
is typically used for applications
requiring over 10,000 psi
(700 bar).
Poppet Valve Cylinder (TPS)
is for low-viscosity, moderately
abrasive products such as
vegetable oils, ice cream mix,
silicone and sulfur.
Ball Valve Cylinder (TBS) is for
high viscosity or abrasive
products such as peanut butter,
evaporated milk, wax emulsions,
lubricants and pigments.
EMI
Poppet Valve
Cylinder (TPS)
Series 80 Cylinder is machined
from a stainless steel forging.
Pistons reciprocate in field
replaceable wear liners and
utilize single-ring packing.
This design is most commonly
supplied with the Micro-Gap®.
Double Packed Cylinder is
engineered for better control of
fugitive emissions (compounds
that are pathogenic, toxic,
radioactive, flammable, etc.). It
also is efficient in situations
where valuable plunger coolants
need to be collected, recirculated or disposed of.
Aseptic Homogenization
APV offers a line of aseptic
homogenizers for use in
processing applications where
sterile conditions must be met.
They are designed for sterilization with steam or hot water with
temperatures up to 140° Celsius
(284° Fahrenheit).
