RAPTECH homogenizing technology
The challenges of homogenization
Homogenization describes the process in which two or more liquids are processed into a uniform mixture so that all components are evenly distributed. The aim is to completely avoid visible separations or phase boundaries and to produce a consistently homogeneous substance. Differences in density, concentration or particle size are reduced to such an extent that the mixture appears visually and physically uniform.
Technically, homogenization is often carried out using high pressure, intensive shearing or ultrasonic energy. These processes ensure that even the finest particles or droplets are evenly distributed in the medium - a prerequisite for many industrial processes in refineries, the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
RAPTECH UADA cavitation technology offers the perfect homogenization solution.

Versatile in use - efficient across all sectors
Whether in the chemical industry, refineries, pharmaceutical and cosmetics production or in the manufacture of foodstuffs - CaviFlow® ensures maximum process quality with lower operating costs. The easy-to-clean design reduces cleaning times, increases availability and improves the efficiency of your entire production.
UADA homogenization technology for maximum process stability
The specially developed RAPTECH UADA technology is based on an innovative process in which ultrasound-induced cavitation is used specifically to optimize homogenization processes. This creates extremely fine turbulence in the liquid, which ensures intensive mixing at a microscopic level. This controlled cavitation ensures that even the smallest particles and droplets are evenly distributed in the medium - without the need for mechanical agitators or high thermal stress.
The technology shows its strengths particularly in the case of complex liquids with varying viscosities, as it ensures stable homogeneity even under difficult conditions. The results are not only consistently reproducible, but also characterized by the highest process quality. In addition, UADA technology is extremely energy-efficient and significantly reduces resource consumption compared to conventional processes. This makes it an economically and technically superior solution for demanding homogenization requirements in a wide range of industries.

Clean and efficient combustion
Homogenize HFO
Homogenizing heavy fuel oil (HFO) is a crucial step in ensuring optimum combustion and therefore efficient, low-residue operation. The targeted crushing and even distribution of the fuel droplets ensures that all hydrocarbon molecules evaporate completely and mix efficiently with oxygen. This allows combustion to take place completely within a fraction of a second - without residues or harmful by-products.
A homogenized HFO shows significantly fewer deposits, as smaller and more evenly distributed droplets create the conditions for almost complete combustion.
Ideal combustion process of homogenized fuel droplets:
High homogenization quality therefore contributes significantly to the efficiency and longevity of your system.
