APV® Rannie® and Gaulin® Homogenizers
Precision Homogenization for High-Quality Product Performance
SPX FLOW offers industry-leading APV Rannie and Gaulin homogenizers engineered to deliver consistent results, superior product quality and efficient processing across a wide range of applications. Backed by more than 100 years of experience, we help companies achieve optimal emulsions, improved texture and enhanced process control. In addition to full-scale homogenizers, we offer pilot and laboratory-scale systems — ideal for testing, development and small-batch production to deliver the same precision and reliability to confidently transition to full-scale operations.
What Is Homogenization?
The homogenization process improves product uniformity by mixing immiscible liquids into a stable emulsion. Featuring high pressure and precision-engineered valves, our homogenizers create turbulence and shear that break down particles and distribute components evenly to enhance product characteristics.
Benefits of Using a Homogenizer
APV homogenizers are used in industries including dairy, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, biotechnology and chemicals. Our homogenizers are designed to help you:
- Achieve a smoother, more uniform texture
- Improve stability and shelf life
