Description
Compression Head & Homogenizing Valve
The Compression head is manufactured from a single block (easy and fast maintenance) of high quality stainless steel of a special type, with a 5 year guarantee against cracking and defects
Pumping Pistons coated with a special “Diamond Like Carbon” plating (as a standard)
Interchangeable Valve group assemblies available in special materials depending on the products to be processed
The Homogenizing valves are designed to be energy efficient, with high stability and alignment of the moving parts (impact head) due to the hydrodynamic assembly, which ensures a vibration free homogenisation
Safety valve, in sanitary execution, of spring type with replaceable shutter and seat
Motorization
The pump body is made using a thick walled premium grade high-resistance cast iron, engineered to withstand heavy loads and cancel out vibration
The crankshaft is made from a special steel, machined from a solid piece, which has been heat treated and with super-finishing of the goosenecks and complete nitriding The crankshaft is supported by robust roller bearings (with bronze bearings used only on the crank pins)
Power transmission with a double reduction stage: “V” belts/pulleys, with parallel axes reduction gear
3 phase, 4 poles, AC electric drive motor of leading Company
Lubricating plant of oil splash type. The mechanical components are in oil-bath and the correct oil level is checked by a proper inspection window installed on the front side of the machine
Structure
The structure is made from square-section pipe frame in stainless steel execution, provided with separate stainless steel panels with satin finish
Maintenance kit
Initial set of spare parts supplied with the machine include the following: full set of gaskets, a set of springs for valves and a complete safety valve set
Set of tools for ordinary maintenance
Lubrication oil
Instruction and maintenance manuals (2 copies + CD ROM)
Standard options
2nd stage homogenizing valve controlled by a special oil-pneumatic system

Fixed Capacity (internal electrical board)
Pulsation dampeners on product inlet and/or outlet connections, for special aseptic version as well
Pressure gauge with alarm contacts for the automatic cut-off of the homogenizing pressure, complete with timing device to manage the start/stop of the homogenizing valves
Automatic homogenization pressure controller
