Alfa Laval SHL 25 Homogeniser

The Alfa Laval SHL 25 is a type of homogenizer designed for various industrial applications, particularly in the food, dairy, and beverage sectors. Here are some details and functions typically associated with this machine:

Key Details:

• Type: High-pressure homogenizer.
• Capacity: Usually suitable for medium to large production volumes, with specific capacities depending on the application.
• Materials: Made of stainless steel and other corrosion-resistant materials to ensure hygiene and durability.
• Design: Compact design that allows for easy integration into existing production lines.

Functions:

1. Homogenization: 

• The primary function is to reduce the particle size of liquids, creating a uniform and stable emulsion. This is beneficial for improving the texture and mouthfeel of products like sauces, creams, and dairy products.

1. Emulsification: 

• It can effectively mix immiscible liquids (like oil and water), creating stable emulsions essential in products like mayonnaise and dressings.

1. Dispersion: 

• Used for dispersing solids within liquids, useful in various applications from food to pharmaceuticals.

1. Pasteurization: 

• Some models may enable in-line pasteurization, which helps in extending the shelf life of products by reducing microbial load without the need for separate heating processes.

1. Flexibility: 

• The SHL 25 can be adjusted for different processes, allowing for variations in pressure and throughput to accommodate different product requirements.

1. Sanitation: 

• Designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, which is critical in food processing to meet safety and hygiene standards.
