The homogenization process
is a mechanical procedure suitable for preserving the quality of the product
intact over time, homogenization delays
the negative effects of the fluid alteration process such as aggregation,
coagulation and sedimentation of particles.
The main effect in GEA’s homogenization process
therefore consists in the decomposition of liquid cells into very small parts
that can take less space and thus making the product more homogeneous, stable
and durable.
Furthermore, the combined use of the high dynamic pressure and homogenizing valves,
designed by our technical staff based on different applications, lets you
reduce the particles to the lowest possible pressure, and so allowing for
significant energy savings.
GEA excels in building the
large-scale facilities that the dairy processing industry needs to satisfy
demand for its products, keep on top of new trends and remain competitive.
We design, engineer and
supply complete plants, processing lines and equipment for treating raw milk
and also for manufacturing, filling and packaging milk and milk-based products
