GEA has developed a new homogenizing valve that represents a new concept in high pressure homogenization technology. The NiSoX valve is the perfect product for manufacturers looking to achieve a high quality homogenizing action for producing uniform particles of the required size. GEA will be demonstrating the new valve on a PantherNS3006L homogenizer at INTERPHEX from 26-28 April 2016, JavitsCenter, New York City, USA.
The NiSoX-Valve geometry facilitates a better distribution of energy toward the middle of the valve, promoting a more effective reduction in particle size, and above all a significantly enhanced level of particle uniformity, compared to previous valves. Laboratory tests have shown that the NiSoX-Valve model currently available is able to improve the uniformity of particles thanks to a standard deviation (or polydispersity index) lower than that of other valves, especially for VHP applications in the pressure range from 600 up to 1500 bar.
The NiSoX-Valve offers great advantages, while processing pharmaceutical and cosmetic micro and nano emulsions, neutraceuticals and liposomes such as lower polydispersity index and increased stability and qualitative performance.
