Homogenization is a mechanical process used to improve product quality, enhance consistency, increase value, and reduce processing costs. It works by mixing two immiscible liquids—such as oil and water—into a stable emulsion. At the core of this process is a high-pressure homogenizer, which functions as a positive displacement pump equipped with a homogenizing valve. As fluids pass through the valve’s narrow gap at high pressure, velocity rapidly increases while pressure sharply drops. This generates intense turbulence and shear forces, which break down particles and disperse them uniformly, resulting in a finely emulsified, stable product.
