Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A homogenizer valve includes two or more pressurized, movable valve cones, two or more valve seats and a valve housing which surrounds the valve cones and the valve seats. The valve cones and the valve seats are disposed so that throttles occur between them, which constitute homogenization gaps, which have a gap height h. The homogenization gaps are disposed at an angle in relation to the horizontal plane. The homogenizer valve is intended to be used in existing homogenizers and has been particularly produced to be able to obtain an efficient homogenization for liquids which are processed at a lower pressure and with a greater flow, such as, for example, pasteurized milk.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A homogenizer valve used to homogenize liquid comprising: an axially extending valve housing having an interior, an inlet into which the liquid to be homogenized is introduced and an outlet from which the liquid exits the housing; a plurality of axially adjacent valve seats in the interior of the housing; a plurality of movable valve cones in the interior of the housing, the plurality of valve cones being mounted on a common movable rod so that movement…
