Functioning
The product to be processed is relaxed under high pressure via a 1- or 2-stage homogenizing device.
As a result of this energy conversion, shear and cavitation reactants occur,
which cause particle comminution with an optimal distribution degree
at the same time.

Construction
The ALFA-LAVAL SHL homogenizing machine is designed
as a horizontal 3-piston pump with downstream homogenizing valve.

The machine shall consist of the following assemblies:
High pressure pump block
Homogenizing head
Frame and cladding
Drive elements
Control system
Motor
Crankshaft, connecting rods and crossheads work in a one-piece, stable GuBgehiiuse.
All lubrication points are supplied with 01 by centrifugal lubrication.
A submerged lamella cooler is integrated into the engine.

High pressure pump block
One-piece pump block made of forged stainless steel
with quick-change piston seal system and easily removable suction
and pressure valve seats.
The valve seats are interchangeable.
Various materials and sealing systems are available for various product and process requirements.
Cone and ball valves are used according to the product viscosity and abrasion behavior.
The pump block is designed for sterile operation and can be easily converted
from non-aseptic to aseptic operation.
The execution corresponds to the requirements for CIP cleaning.
All parts in contact with the product (except seals} are made of stainless material.

Homogenizing head
1- or 2-stage homogenizing device with hydraulic pressure adjustment
by means of hand control valve. Wear-resistant homogenizing device (see figure),
consisting of seat, cone and impact ring.
Seat and baffle ring can be used on both sides.

Structure
Steel construction on adjustable tank top.
Delivery without frame for mounting the machine on single frame possible.

Drive
Power is transmitted from the drive motor to the crankshaft via belt drive
and slip-on reducer gear. Multi-speed motors and variable speed drives are available.

Control system
Hydraulic unit for working pressure adjustment (mounted behind the front panel
of the frame).

Hydraulic hand valve (in the front panel}.
On/off probe, electrical emergency stop switch, terminal box,
glycerine-immersed high-pressure pressure gauge.

Presión de trabajo: 150 bar.
Presión máxima de trabajo: 200 bar.
Temperatura máxima de trabajo: 85ºC
