Daken Stainless products of Derby, England supply new HST Homogenisers / Homogenizers and Spare Parts for the Dairy, Food, Pharmaceutical, Biotech and Chemical Processing Industries.

HST produce a range of High Pressure Homogenisers / Homogenizers which are interchangeable with the APV Gaulin MC range

The HST Homogeniser drive end of a 5 plunger machine

The drive-end is made of high-quality ductile cast iron. The power transmission from the standard 150o rpm motor follows through a primary V-belt transmission onto the drive shaft. The drive shaft is coupled to the eccentric shaft by means of a rugged herring bone pinion-and-gear. This two-step speed reduction results in low eccen¬tric speeds, quiet, low-noise operation and a minimum of mainten¬ance. Alternative drive systems, two-speed or variable speed motors are available upon request. All production machines have pressurized oil-lubricating systems with „low-oil-pressure" safety switch. The machine exterior is of stainless steel and easily accessible. Hinged doors with patented security locks provide safety and enhance serviceability.

The HST Homogeniser pump-block

Made of a one-piece precision-machined special alloy forging, this block can be suited to process a wide variety of product ranging from liquids to highly viscous materials, all with their own degree of abra¬siveness. Pump-valves are of the poppet type or ball type, depending on product. Valve seats are metal-to-metal shrunk in the cylinder block, avoiding unneccesary seals or gaskets, facilitating cleaning. Pump-valve seats are available in various materials, suitable to handle the most difficult products. Each block can be supplied, or retro¬fitted, in aseptic execution as well. Front- and uppercaps are at ergo¬nomic height for easy access and serviceability. All designs have a minimum of crevices and dead-ends, and are fully CIP-able. The production machines are supplied with a pressure system Of 4-20 mA output, including pressure relief.

The HST Homogenising Valve

The heart of the homogenizer ist the homogenizing valve. This valve is fitted at the high pressure outlet of the cylinder block and creates the necessary homogenizing pressure. Pressure adjustment is either manual (handwheel-controlled) or hydraulicai (HVA = Hydraulic Valve Actuation). The valve configuration is dictated by the homogenizer capacity and product characteristics. HST have chosen a specific valve design, highly efficient, service-friendly and of low noise. Valve parts can be supplied in Stellite, Tungsten Carbide or Ceramics. Depending on application, single- or two-stage homogenization will be available.
