GEA Niro Soavi High pressure Homogenizer

Hudson, WI - The popular laboratory and pilot-scale homogenizer Niro Soavi model NS2006L has been released in a new version under the new GEA Niro Soavi Energy Series Program. This versatile and improved version is complete with a feeding and re-circulation system ready for operation.

The NS2006L has become a standard tool for laboratory and small-scale production high-pressure homogenization for the pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries in North America and Europe. Its ability to test small quantities at very high pressures allows laboratory studies on particle micronization and cell rupture. The NS2006L is designed for scalability up to the total industrial size range of the Niro Soavi homogenizers.

The NS2006L design features includes:
