Niro Soavi High-Pressure Homogenizer NS2006L Energy Series Versatile Laboratory and Pilot Scale High-Pressure Homogenizer Ready For Use

Source: GEA Process Engineering Inc.

The popular laboratory and pilot-scale homogenizer Niro Soavi model NS2006L has been released in a new version under the new Niro Soavi Energy Series Program. This versatile and improved version is complete with a feeding and re-circulation system ready for operation.

The NS2006L has become a standard tool for laboratory and small-scale production high-pressure homogenization for the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries in
North America and Europe. Its ability to test small quantities at very high pressures allows laboratory studies on particle micronization and cell rupture. The NS2006L is designed for scalability up to the total industrial size range of the Niro Soavi homogenizers.

The NS2006L design features includes:

Operation

  • Continuous operation at maximum 1,500 bar / 21,750
    psi
  • Standard flow rate of 30 l/h, optional variable speed
    operation of 10-30 l/h
  • Operates with viscous fluids up to 7,500 cP (higher
    viscosities optional)
  • *Operates with temperatures up to 90 °C / 194 °F
    (higher temperatures optional)
