Homogenization, also known as particle size reduction or micronization, is used across many industries – including pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and cosmetic -- to create stable emulsions and dispersions. And while this technology has proven – and continues to prove – to be very powerful and useful, the homogenization process is only as good as the equipment that is used to undergo the process. For this reason, it is critically important to properly care for your homogenizer equipment. Continue reading to learn more about how to care for your homogenizer equipment so you can reap the benefits of its many features for years to come.
Well-cared for homogenizers can last for many years, but only if they are properly maintained. High quality homogenizers – like the ones sold by us here at BEE International – should be on a regular maintenance schedule to ensure continuous working condition. In addition, it is important that your homogenizer is not immersed in water or exposed to harmful fumes.
In addition, there are a number of preventive maintenance tasks that should be regularly completed with your homogenizer:
- Regular replacement of motor unit brushes
- Lubrication of bearings using a liquid sample/medium
- Regular exterior cleaning of your homogenizer (using just soap and water is sufficient).
