Key Performance Parameters of High-Pressure Homogenizer
Pressure Range and Accuracy
JUNJIE high-pressure homogenizers features wide-range intelligent pressure control, with pressure levels of up to 420 MPa (60,000 psi).
Higher pressure generally provides stronger material disruption and dispersion capabilities. For nanoscale materials and high-hardness materials, equipment with a maximum pressure of 300 MPa or higher is recommended.
Homogenization Chamber Technology: Diamond Interaction Chamber
The entire JUNJIE product range adopts diamond interaction chamber technology, a mainstream technology for high-pressure microfluidic homogenization.
Inside specially engineered diamond microchannels, materials form supersonic jets. The synergistic effects of intense shear forces, head-on jet collision forces, and instantaneous cavitation efficiently reduce materials to the nanoscale while achieving highly uniform dispersion.
- Y-type chamber: Suitable for emulsification and dispersion
- Z-type chamber: Suitable for cell disruption and particle size reduction
- Fixed internal microchannels: Help ensure consistent and uniform particle-size results between production batches
Temperature Control System
For heat-sensitive materials, such as enzymes and protein-based drugs, temperature control is critical.
JUNJIE equipment can be equipped with a sanitary-grade temperature control system to effectively reduce material temperature and help preserve the activity of sensitive ingredients.
Level of Intelligent Automation
JUNJIE equipment is equipped with a high-definition touchscreen control system supporting:
- Program setting and data recording
- Remote real-time monitoring
- Data traceability
- GMP/GLP-compliant data recording
Materials and Hygiene Standards
- Materials in contact with the product: GMP- and FDA-compliant 316L and 17-4PH stainless steel, tungsten carbide, zirconia, high-molecular-weight polyethylene, and other materials are available.
- Cleaning and sterilization: The pilot-scale HPW-250 and production-scale HPW-500 integrate CIP/SIP in-line backflushing systems, combining cleaning and sterilization without disassembly and effectively reducing the risk of clogging.
