The S-Jet/V is the newest version of the S-Jet range of homogenizers, and was developed to handle a very large amount of solid input. By the changed geometry of the rotor/stator system and increased pumping power, the possible metering of solid additions has been increased, in particular for thickeners. As a result, a shorter batch time can be achieved with an essentially constant product quality, says the manufacturer. The stronger pumping power (up to 2.5 barg) enables this model to avoid using a separate pump. — Ekato Systems GmbH, Schopfheim, Germany
