APV Rannie® 160Q / Gaulin® 160Q - High Pressure Homogenizers
The Rannie 160Q and Gaulin 160Q are high-performance, high-pressure 5 plunger homogenizers engineered for superior particle size reduction and emulsion stability. Designed for a wide range of industrial and sanitary applications, these homogenizers deliver consistent results with maximum efficiency and reliability.
FEATURES
Each unit features a 3-plunger design and is available with either a Mono-Block or Three-Piece valve housing. A wide range of standard and custom options is offered, including tailored selections for plungers, packings, pump valves, valve seats, and seals to suit your specific application needs.
Capacities range from 3,850 lph (1,010 gph) at 1,200 bar (17,400 psi) to 26,000 lph (6,910 gph) at 210 bar (3,000 psi) depending on the selected configuration.

The homogenization process is used to enhance product characteristics, add value and/or lower costs. It is a physical process that mixes immiscible liquids into an emulsion. The homogenizer is a positive displacement pump to which a homogenizing valve is attached. The fluids entering the homogenizer are forced through a small gap at high pressure. This causes a rapid increase in velocity and decrease in pressure creating turbulence and pressure differences that cause disruption and dispersion of the particles.
