Homogenization, also known as particle size reduction or micronization, is the process of disrupting cells in order to ensure uniform particle size in emulsions or dispersions. This process is common in many industries, including food, pharmaceutical, biotech, cosmetic, and chemical.
Pion's BEE brand offers a wide variety of high pressure homogenizers that accomplish a variety of tasks, including particle size reduction, cell disruption, high pressure pasteurization, nano and micro emulsions, and dispersions. Every industry has its own unique challenges and needs; our high pressure homogenizers can help your company accomplish its production goals. Continue reading for a brief overview of the various homogenizers we offer, and how each one can best suit the needs of your industry.
Laboratory Homogenizers
Our laboratory homogenizers include the Nano DeBEE, Micro DeBEE, and Mini DeBEE. All of our laboratory homogenizers are suitable for the following applications:
