Microfluidizer

Microfluidizer (Mixer)

(The Emerging Technology of Efficient Mixing)

Introduction

Micro-Fluidizer  is a homogenizer or/and a particle reduction system which is used for the reduction of particle in a low range somewhere in nano-meter. It is used for the reduction of particle/ globules size of fluids. 

                                                      Basic Design 

Four Parts Provide basic mechanical and functional efficiencies to this System. These Four parts are Shown in the figure Below. Have a Look before we can go for further discussion. Main three Parts are: 

Inlet Reservoir:

Inlet Reservoir is that Part of the Micro-Fluidizer in which the raw material feed take place. Or simply we can say that where input (something which is going to be mixed) is inserted to the system.

High Pressure Pump:

High Pressure Pump is required to give high velocity to the fluids. Fluid are Pushed through the interaction chamber System which is the next part of the system.

Interaction Chamber (The Heart of the System)

It is the place where particle reduction occur. The chamber is shown in the figure below. It is made up of tough and hard materials like diamond and ceramic. Operation of interaction chambers occur in a Micro-channels or tiny passages.

Fluid having a speed of 400m/s is targeted in these micro-channels from opposite sides thus due to collision of particle their size reduces. Two stream of the fluid having high speed interact and particle size reduction occur.

Outlet Reservoir

Final Part where the mixed material coming form the system is collected and Used further according to your needs. 

Mechanism of Particle Size Reduction

Impact is the main phenomenon involved in the micro-fluidizer. Particle collide with each other form opposite direction and thus due to collision impact is generated which cause particle size reduction.

Uses/Application
