A homogenizing mixer is an industrial process system for producing emulsions, suspensions, gels and creams. The combination of agitator and high-performance homogenizer creates very fine particle distributions and stable products.
Applications of homogenizing mixers
Homogenizing mixers are used in numerous industries:
Food
- Sauces
- Dressings
- Functional foods
What matters is the right system size and homogenizer technology – we are happy to help you choose.
How does a homogenizing mixer work?
A homogenizing mixer operates in several process steps:
- 1Mixing the raw materials in the vessel
- 2Circulation through the homogenizer
- 3Size reduction by high shear forces
- 4Return to the vessel
Depending on the system (e.g. rotor/stator or co-twister), shear forces, throughput and particle size can be precisely controlled.
What types of homogenizers are there?
Rotor/stator systems
- Standard in many systems
- High shear forces
- Proven and robust
SymexCo-twister
- Independent control of shear and conveying capacity
- Ideal for sensitive products
- Greater process control
What system size is right?
Laboratory< 100 LTypical systems: RW60, CML50
Pilot100–500 LTypical systems: RW320, CML125
Production> 500 LTypical systems: RW1000, CML1000

Frequently Asked Questions about used homogenizing mixers
How much does a homogenizing mixer cost?
Depending on size, equipment and condition, a used homogenizing mixer is typically 40–70% cheaper than a comparable new system. We will be happy to quote a specific price on request.
Which system do I need for creams?
For creams, lotions and ointments, vacuum homogenizing mixers with a rotor/stator homogenizer or co-twister are usually the right choice. The vacuum prevents air entrapment, while the homogenizer ensures a fine, stable emulsion.
What is the difference between a mixer and a homogenizer?
The agitator (mixer) blends the entire vessel contents. The homogenizer uses high shear forces to create a fine particle or droplet distribution and is therefore crucial for product quality and stability.
Is there a warranty on used systems?
Yes. We sell the machines fully serviced and provide an industry-standard 12-month warranty, excluding wear parts.
Do you also handle installation and commissioning?
Yes. On request, we support you as a turn-key project from design through to commissioning at your site.
Can I sell my used process plant through you?
Please contact us. Thanks to our market experience, we often know suitable buyers for used homogenizing mixers and process plants.
