Homogenizer / APV EQ 75T Homogenizer
Product Features
For more than 125 years, APV homogenizers have set the global benchmark for reliability and performance. Building on this legacy, we’ve expanded the EQ series to offer even more options for processors who need high quality at an accessible price point.
The new EQ 75T can be configured as a pump or as a single- or two-stage homogenizer, delivering all the essential features required for dependable operation. It includes a robust three-piece liquid end made from Duplex stainless steel, along with highly durable, high-efficiency pump and homogenizing valves.
Designed for full CIP compatibility, the EQ 75T also comes standard with FDA-, EN1935:2004-, and GB4806-compliant product contact materials.

Theory of Operation
Homogenization is used to enhance product quality, improve functionality, and reduce costs. This mechanical process turns immiscible liquids into a stable emulsion.
The homogenizer works as a positive displacement pump fitted with a homogenizing valve. Product entering the machine is forced at high pressure through a narrow gap, creating intense velocity, turbulence, and pressure changes. These forces break down and disperse particles, resulting in a uniform, stable product.
