High-speed dispersers and homogenizers are two commonly used laboratory and industrial equipment for the process of particle dispersion and mixing.

There are some differences in their principles, applications and ways of working, and here are the main ones:

The difference between high speed disperser and homogenizer is briefly described

How it works:
High speed disperser: The high speed disperser disperses and suspends the particles within the sample in the liquid by means of a rotating blade, stirrer or other rotating device. The disperser pulverizes, disperses and mixes the particles through the action of high-speed stirring and shearing.

Homogenizer: Homogenizer causes the sample to pass through a narrow channel or device through the mechanical action of high pressure, which generates severe turbulence and shear force. The homogenizer breaks, disperses and homogenizes the particles through shear and collision.

Field of Application:
High-speed dispersers: High-speed dispersers are widely used in the fields of particle dispersion, preparation, dissolution and mixing of suspension agents. It has advantages in particle crushing, mixing uniformity, improving reaction rate and so on, and is often used in the laboratory and production process of chemical, food, pharmaceutical and other industries.

Homogenizer: Homogenizer is mainly used for sample homogenization processing, including particle size adjustment, emulsification, mixing and gelatinization. It is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics and other industries for emulsifying liquid, preparation of emulsion, homogenization of cheese, preparation of colloidal suspension, etc.

How it works:
High-speed dispersers: High-speed dispersers usually use agitators, blades, or centrifugal forces to perform high-speed rotation to generate shear and centrifugal forces to disperse and mix the particles in the sample.

Homogenizer: The homogenizer passes the liquid through a narrow channel or device under high pressure to generate high-speed turbulence and shear forces, so that the particles are evenly dispersed in the liquid.

Processing capacity:
High speed dispersers: High speed dispersers are generally suitable for small batch and medium size sample processing and are suitable for laboratory and small-scale production.

Homogenizers: Homogenizers are usually suitable for large volume sample processing and can be used in laboratories and large-scale industrial production.

Suitable equipment needs to be selected according to specific experimental or production needs, considering factors such as sample nature, processing capacity, particle size and dispersion requirements. During the selection process, it is recommended to consult the equipment supplier for more detailed information, and to evaluate and compare according to the actual situation.
