The field of homogenization encompasses a very broad area. The word homogenize means “to make or render homogeneous” while homogeneous means “having the same composition, structure, or character throughout”. Homogenizing is what is called an umbrella word - a word which covers a very large area and different applications as emulsions, dispersions and cell rupture.
SPX is recognized as the world leader in homogenization. Its APV Rannie and Gaulin homogenizers are widely used in the dairy, beverage and food industries. They are also used in the production of pharmaceutical and healthcare products and in some biotech and chemical applications.
SPX also has the world recognized Waukesha Cherry-Burrell Colloid Mill and Shear Pump available for several applications in the sanitary industries.
