To avoid the particles of impurities (such as iron, glass, etc.) into the homogenizer to wear inlet valve and homogenizing valve, every materiel should be filtered by filter screen of 60-100 mu before it is put into homogenizer to homogenized. 2. It is forbidden to operate machine long time when there is no material 3. Do not turn on homogenizer under handle was tightly, for sudden overload capacity will damage motor. 4. AH08-100 homogenizer is designed for production. The machine can work for a long time. 5. Solid ceramic plunger used for homogenizer. So the temperature changes of product contact pieces couldnt over 70, or the plunger may rupture. The range of temperature changes shouldnt over 5, especially under cleaning operation. ATS ENG INC.

With the help of the plunger, it can enter the gap. Also, the size of the gap is changing with different pressures. Releasing the pressure, the material eject with the speed of one thousand to one thousand and five hundred meters per second. Three effects produced after the material hit the impact ring which is one of the valve components . Hole effect The material accumulated high energy after pressed by the plunger. When passing the limiting gap, it can release high energy after the sudden decreasing of pressure. Through it , the material can be smashed and refined .This is called Hole effect. Impact effect When passing the limiting gap, the material smashed and refined after hitting the special impact ring. Shear effect The high speeding material produce strong shearing when crossing the valve chamber channel and limiting gap. ATS ENG INC.

ATS ENG INC. 82.3 inlet valve Pressure block was made of two-phase alloys stainless steel. To ensure equipment work well under high pressure and easily removal and installation. The internal pipe size of pressure block is 12ml. At least 50ml material can be operated circularly with the special feeder. Installation with pressure block: A solid ceramic plunger, which has smooth surface and high corrosion-resistant that self-lubricating. Special material of plunger seal. It can be used with no water lubrication. Unidirectional inlet valve and outlet valve. A valve support was be installed under inlet valve which can be removal. Inlet valve is made of alloys with high hardness STELLITE A digtal gauge of high precision which adopted sanitary design and with battery. 1. fixed nut 2. fixed plug 3. gasket 4. o-ring 5. spring 6. ceramic ball 7. inlet valve seat ATS ENG INC.

They formed a standard homogenous valve group. 1- homogenous valve body 2- O-ring 3- Inside O-ring 4- Outside O-ring 5- Mandril O-ring 6- Mandril 7- Handle ATS ENG INC. ATS ENG INC. 102.5 homogeneous valve We supplied two sets of homogeneous valves for AH100D. One set emulsion valve and one set rupture valve. Emulsion valve is formed by one ceramic ball, one stainless collision ring and one tungsten carbide valve seat. Both sides of valve seat can be used, so it can be used for a more time. Emulsion valve usually used for preparation of emulsion, for example, Chemical and pharmaceutical : vitamin emulsion, vein emulsion Food and beverage: essence，juice， vegetable protein beverage Dairy products: milk, ice cream， cream， yogurt Rupture valve is formed by one impact head, one valve seat and one impact ring. They are made of tungsten carbide. ATS ENG INC.
