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

La biotech à l’épreuve du réel
Le nouveau Centre d’application et de technologie (ATC) GEA de Sarstedt, au sud de Hanovre, n’est ni un showroom ni un ersatz de laboratoire. C’est un lieu conçu pour les essais, la collecte de données et les décisions précoces. Un endroit où l’on détermine si un concept biologique peut devenir un procédé industriel robuste. Cette étape est plus importante qu’il n’y paraît.
L'évolution des emballages alimentaires en 4 tendances
Si le thermoformage joue depuis longtemps un rôle central dans le domaine de l'emballage alimentaire, il doit aujourd'hui affronter un tournant majeur. À une époque comme la nôtre où les réglementations se durcissent, où les matériaux évoluent et où les coûts augmentent, il ne suffit plus que les lignes de conditionnement FFS ou <i>Form-Fill-Seal</i> (Former-Remplir-Sceller) fonctionnent de manière fiable : elles sont désormais déterminantes pour garantir la fraîcheur des denrées, un prix accessible et la recyclabilité. Examinez de plus près les grandes tendances qui dans le domaine du thermoformage façonnent le secteur de l'emballage et de la distribution alimentaires.
