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

Approfondimenti GEA
La biotecnologia a confronto con la realtà
Il nuovo Application and Technology Center (ATC) di GEA a Sarstedt, a sud di Hannover, non è né uno showroom né un laboratorio. È un luogo dedicato a test, raccolta dati e decisioni preliminari. È qui che si capisce se un concetto biologico può diventare un processo industriale solido. Si tratta di un passo più importante di quanto possa sembrare.
Cambiamenti nel settore del confezionamento alimentare: 4 tendenze
La termoformatura riveste da tempo un ruolo centrale nel settore del confezionamento alimentare. Ora si trova di fronte a un cambiamento radicale. Con l'inasprirsi delle normative, l'evoluzione dei materiali e l'aumento dei costi, le linee di formatura, riempimento e sigillatura non devono solo funzionare in modo affidabile: oggi hanno un ruolo fondamentale nel garantire che gli alimenti rimangano freschi, convenienti e riciclabili. Ecco le principali tendenze nella termoformatura che stanno plasmando il confezionamento e la consegna di prodotti alimentari.
