The APV 4T Pilot Homogenizer is a compact, easy-to-use, full-featured system designed for pilot or small-scale production. It delivers full-scale homogenizing performance by forcing fluids through a high-pressure valve, creating turbulence and pressure differentials that effectively emulsify and disperse particles. Ideal for testing, development, and precise scale-up processes.
APV® Pilot 4T Homogenizer
Compact Performance for Real-World Validation
The APV® Pilot 4T Homogenizer bridges the gap between laboratory testing and full-scale production, offering a compact solution for mixing immiscible liquids like oil and water with flow-rate flexibility and control precision.
Scalable Capabilities
Designed for pump, single-, or two-stage homogenization, the Pilot 4T supports pilot and small-scale production with flow rates from 20 to 600 lph (5–158.5 gph) and pressures of up to 1,000 bar (14,500 psi). Its three-plunger configuration ensures smooth performance under diverse conditions.
Durable and Hygienic Design
Constructed with a liquid end from duplex stainless steel and hardened homogenizing valves (tungsten carbide, Stellite, or ceramic).The Pilot 4T is designed for CIP and SIP and features FDA, EN1935:2004 and GB4806 product contact materials as standard. 3-A certification is available for models up to 600 bar.
