SPX FLOW APV Homogenizer Water Recycling System

Click2Contact

SPX FLOW, a provider of process solutions for the nutrition, health and industrial markets, has launched a sustainability initiative that reduces the total amount of clean water a homogeniser uses.

The APV Homogenizer Water Recycling System (HWRS) is designed to recycle up to 97% of the water used by homogenisers. Traditionally, a continual flow of water is supplied to homogenisers to cool the transmission oil and lubricate the plungers. This technology recaptures that water, sanitises and chills it, then returns it to the homogeniser.

The product has met the drinking water regulatory standards set by the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance (PMO). It can be used with both new and existing homogenisers made by any manufacturer. It is compact — 21 x 32″ (533.4 x 812.8 mm) — and it has its own control system, including fail-safe features that would default to fresh water without causing downtime, if any problems emerge.

SPX FLOW homogenisers were first introduced in the late 1800s through its APV Rannie and Gaulin brands. The company holds more than 850 patents worldwide and approximately 44% of the patent families are related to sustainability and clean technology.
