Micro and nano sizer
Rhino homogenizers and radial colliders
GEA Rhino High-pressure Homogenizers and Radial Colliders with Zero-Gasket execution option are for heavy duty industrial applications requiring high abrasion, adhesion and solvent resistance coming from challenging products (eg. Carbon, Cellulose, Industrial Bio cell disruption)
Whether dealing with abrasive or adhesive products or strong solvents and concentrations, GEA Rhino is equipped to handle pressures up to 2000 bar, setting a benchmark in the industry.
GEA Rhino is offered as both high-pressure homogenizer and high-pressure radial collider. The design includes option to eliminate all elastomeric and plastic seals including dynamic plunger seals that are typically sensitive to high pulsating pressure, solvents, and temperatures, thus enhancing operational reliability, reducing production downtime and maintenance frequency.
GEA Rhino is designed for heavy duty applications in the chemical industry, including products like conducting carbon (carbon black, graphite, graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNT)) slurry for battery production, Cellulose slurry for Nano Fibrillation, Industrial Bio cell disruption for biodegradable plastic production.
Main features and benefits
Zero-Gasket - No elastomeric or plastic gaskets (including dynamic plunger seals)
- More resistant to pressure, solvents, and abrasive and adhesive products
- Less frequent maintenance
- Less down time
- Lower TCO
All metallic or Sintered seals
- Elimination of seal extrusion, damage and failures caused by inherent pulsating pressure and cavitation (when occurring)
Truly aligned plunger with its seals system allows use of novel metal and advanced sintered material, without elastomers or plastic.
Open drive end
- Easier maintenance
- No need for ventilation and cooling of drive compartment
- More compact and easier to fix to foundation if needed
Modular Lightweight Piped discharge manifold
- No need for lifting heavy parts for maintenance of suction and discharge pump check valves and valve seats
Feed system with Air operated double diaphragm pump (AODDP) and one dampening equalizer for each plunger
- High abrasion, adhesion, and chemical resistant feed system
- All flow pulsations are balanced, and high frequency (10~15/s) flow variations are compensated

GEA Insights
Una visión realista del sector biotecnológico
El nuevo Centro de Aplicaciones y Tecnología (ATC) de GEA en Sarstedt, al sur de Hannover, no es una sala de exhibición ni sustituye a un laboratorio. Es un lugar destinado a realización de pruebas, recopilación de datos y toma de decisiones en una fase temprana. Es en este punto donde queda claro si un concepto biológico puede convertirse en un proceso industrial robusto. Ese paso es más importante de lo que podría parecer.
Cambios en el envasado de alimentos: 4 tendencias
El termoformado lleva mucho tiempo desempeñando un papel fundamental en el envasado de alimentos. Ahora se enfrenta a un cambio importante. A medida que se endurecen las normativas, evolucionan los materiales y aumentan los costes, las líneas de envasado formado, llenado y sellado deben hacer algo más que funcionar de forma fiable: ahora determinan cómo los alimentos se mantienen frescos, asequibles y reciclables. Eche un vistazo a las principales tendencias en termoformado que están marcando el panorama del envasado y entrega de alimentos.
